I have to do those things daily. I have cavity prone teeth and have spent a small fortune on dental work over the years.

I brush my teeth once a day and usually shower once every two days (sometimes once a day). I hate how yucky I feel after not doing my ADLs for a while so I try to keep on track.

I started brushing and flossing at least daily, ideally twice a day, because I started feeling excruciating pain in my gums. You don't know what you're damaging until it's too late.

I don't shower daily, ideally every other day.

I brush my teeth several times a day. I shower regularly but I admit when I was depressed, I let myself go. I normally shower every other day but wash parts daily. I have a bidet I use to wash between showers.

relatable~ >_< I've never had a cavity, but I have to brush my teeth twice daily and go to dental appointments every 3 months~ too much tartar! >_<

I take care of my teeth because I'm paranoid about it. Still got a cavity 😭

I shower even more when I'm very depressed. Hot water and steam feels nice and my sinuses are a mess.

But, according to the Normie quiz showering regularly makes you a normie so it's probably not good to do that

Brush teeth twice a day... Floss, mouthwash once a day... Shower every 2-4 days...

Quite often it makes for an excruciating exercise that takes every ounce of energy inside me to get through... BUT, I know the payoff is not having to deal with the consequences of NOT doing it. (OCD does have some benefits, in this sense... There are some things that just must be done.)

Every day. At least it gives me a shred of dignity to know I tried my best to look presentable, even though I'll never look as good as others.

It's embarrassing to admit that I'm bad at personal hygiene. I didn't use to be. I finally got the bathroom cleaned up to the point where I can take a shower, now all I gotta do is do it. Brushing and flossing? Don't even ask.

i brush my teeth once a day, never at night don't know, but it started two years ago and it's a really bad habit. i don't floss that much either, umm, and i usually only shower when i have to leave the house, i used to be really good with showering but…. my family suddenly has gotten on my ass about showering which really frustrates me because if i have to shower every single day i might actually die lol

Brushing twice a day, showering every other day / after exercise. Used to be bad with this but got better but frankly it barely matters.

Shower once, brush twice, it's just out of habit but I like to feel clean and dentists are money grubbing bastards so if I can keep a few notes out of their pockets all the better.

I try to maintain a regular routine as much as possible. I shower and brush my teeth twice a day, in the morning and at night. I also try to wash my clothes regularly, usually once a week, and keep my living space reasonably clean. While it may not be spotless, I strive to maintain a level of hygiene and organization that allows me to function without causing discomfort to others.

I'm still relatively ok with this despite the depression. But its mainly because I have a job. If I didn't I'd probably rarely shower lol. But would still brush my teeth twice a day as otherwise I would feel gross.

Dang I thought a lot more people would brush their teeth because I hate that feeling of unclean teeth, my dentist always says i have good and clean teeth lmfao even tho I just brush once a day. I used to shower every morning, then it turned into every night, then it turned into every other night.
