UNLESS you work a blue collar job, or any other job that requires you to be outside the whole time, I don’t see the point in showering every day. Especially if you work from home or in a building with AC. It seems excessive and is also a waste of water. But do what you want lmao.

Stinking on the days you dont shower is rude

I think it depends on the person. If you get stinky easily, then yes, shower daily.

yes and no, IMO it’s probably best practice but not really necessary to shower with only water every day, but it’s definitely not needed to also use products every day, unless you work with stuff that gets on your body and actually needs soap and shampoo to come off.

For the average person i’d say shower with soap once per week and then just rinse with water and scrub yourself down whenever you feel the need.

I shower every day because it feels nicer when I go to bed. With alopecia I got really sensitive to how sticky the skin gets, probably because there’s not even a tiny push fuzz left. I only use shampoo every other day though.

Going swimming during summer months counts as a bath, right?

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
