Hmmm I don’t think I can skip a shower even if it’s better for my skin.

A couple days is fine.

I try for every 2-3 days, but it can be hard due to triggers.

My family helps me remember.

I don’t think it would do harm to skip them every now and then… Since starting work …I take two a day.

I doubt it’s unhealthy. I usually shower daily because it wakes me up and makes me feel fresh. I don’t feel well if I skip showering, especially if I have to go in to work.

I know I’m doing good when I shower regularly, 3-4 times a week. When I’m sick I can go weeks without bathing and I can get rather nasty.

Oh yeah.

Long as BO does not afflict other people then skipping a day or two is okay.

I will use large wet wipes if I don’t feel like showering.
