Me before shower: ”I don’t wanna shower”
Me in shower: ”I live here now”

I'm a disabled veteran who never leaves my home with a shower upstairs. I am able to only truly bathe once a month, sometimes even longer. I hate not being able to clean myself. That said, most of this is worst case scenario. My only issue really is just the build up of dead skin. This is definitely geared for abled people. Please shower if you can when you can. But this is far from the experience for many disabled people.

There’s a guy that hasn’t showers in 68 years he’s the world record holder

Having had very severe depression in the past, my self-care was put on hold for weeks at a time at points. Thankfully, none of that stuff ever happened to me except for the fact that no one could be around me because I smelled so bad.

If for whatever reason you can't shower, a washrag, soap, and warm water from the bathroom sink is a good (not perfect) substitute.

While showering frequently/regularly is important, a lot of people who suffer from depression, sensory overload, etc. will hesitate to shower for a number of reasons. It might seem unbelievable to most people, but there are people out there who do go through this to some degree or another. And, sometimes, people just don't have access/the ability to bathe properly and/or regularly.

I sweat a lot. It's excessive due to a medical problem. I have to shower daily. Sometimes twice in Summer. I don't like feeling sticky. Especially before bed. Everyone's body has different needs when it comes to showering. There are people who would be just fine with skipping showers for a number of days.

After a nasty spell of covid I was too ill to shower for several weeks. The amount of whiteheads and pimples I had was sickening.

I'm 43 I spent around 20 years homeless. On multiple occasions I would go 3 to 6 months without bathing and never had any of the issues you mentioned.

My personal rule of thumb is showering once or twice a week and then wash the smelliest areas like groin, pits, etc. Just with a wash cloth. Saves a lot of water too and my hair thanks me for not stripping away the oils constantly

i have depression and ADHD (which is tied to sensory overloads, which i have frequently) and it makes it very hard for me to take proper care of my body. i've only recently started showering multiple times a week as i used to only shower once a week. anyway, there was once a time where i went longer than a month during summertime without a single shower. in that time period, i got a urinary tract infection and a worm infection due to the lack of showering. it ended up getting so bad that my mom took the doorknob out of the bathroom and put it in the other way and she locked me in the bathroom until i took a shower. nowadays i take much better care of myself although i still struggle a lot with other stuff like brushing my teeth regularly which i especially need to fix because i can't go to a dentist because of usa healthcare.

if you're taking good care of yourself, keep at it. once you stop taking care of your hygiene, it's hard to start taking care of yourself again.

During the start of covid I lost my home to foreclosure but the bank allowed me to stay in the home, though they didn't allow me to turn the water back on I lived like that for over a year and a half and I didn't catch anything even while I recovered from a surgery so as long as you're smart about things you can go pretty long without it

I can personally confirm that a great deal of information in this video is highly exaggerated and borders on being completely false.

[GrassManKey]

I live in a van I've gone a month during covid without. Thank God planet fitness is open again

This is totally exaggerated. My grandma grew up taking YEARLY baths along with everyone in her French village and she's healthy as a super healthy ox

[mark_thurwanger]

Personally I shower twice a day: Clean before going to work and clean before going to bed.

Guy I used to work with went years without showering or even washing his clothes.
