    I'm sitting here recovering from oral surgery (good jokes!) and realized I haven't showered in almost 3 days. Hardly a serious concern, unless you consider the plague that I carry harmful.

    Anyhoooo, disregarding hospital stays, what is the longest you've gone without bathing, just out of sheer laziness?

    Disclaimer: Swimming in a chlorinated pool does not count as proper bathing, but it will be accepted for this poll.

    My record: I want to say 6 or 7 days one spring break some time ago.

    Other than traveling overseas, I haven't skipped a day since I was like 10.

    You sicken me.

    I've gone 2 weeks this past year in college. I don't sweat and my friends, who are blunt, never said anything. I guess just sitting around and not doing any activities that will make you sweat helps. That and cologne.

    Backpacking trips: 4 days, 5 days. First thing I did when I got back to civilization.

    Bathing is a prerequisite for living in Texas heat.

    This thread reminds me of armpit smell.

    EVERYDAY. Sometimes twice a day since I can remember.

    Damn hippies.

    One to two months at a time in the winter when I was young. People do not have hot waters back then and you have to pay to go to public bath houses, things that people in this country have never experiences I am sure. Many of the developing countries are the same way if not worse I am sure.

    I take three showers a day, sometimes even four.

    Male whorebath. I wouldn't ever buy a product of theirs due to the commercials, alone.

    I've gone 4 days without bathing on several occasions. Didn't go out when I was doing it though.

    Well, I can't lie.
    I went an entire spring break when I was about 12, so about nine days.

    But this past summer I would jump in my sister's pool if I needed a shower (she lives 4 houses down from me). I feel nasty for admitting this, but I took less than a dozen showers last summer. Shame on me. (Can't believe I admitted to that.)
