Just curious. I know many including myself struggle with this
Thanks for that, it was interesting! I guess when probiotic shampoos etc come out people would still revert to washing regularly for social conformanceI made a thread about this some time ago. This doctor's insight and experience are worth a look:

Wow that must suck, takes a big chunk of your dayAs in showering? Twice a day due to physical activities.
How so? Like ten minutes tops in the morning then afternoon for me.Wow that must suck, takes a big chunk of your day
Ah, ok. I spend like half an hour at a time, I'm not fast. Sorry that your other habits take time too, it's nice feeling clean tho I admitMy excessive hand washing and teeth brushing are too time consuming though. I hate feeling unclean.
I'm so sorry, my thoughts are with youGoing on nearly a year without a shower because I cannot sit or stand up long enough and rubbing a flannel all over my body is too much exertion — my muscles burn and weaken quickly, and it makes me very ill for days.
The best I've been able to do is lying on wooden planks on top of the bathtub and let my carer wash my head and face, then my feet. But I have become too sensitive to touch after a bad relapse that started three months ago, so no washing at all. I use baby wipes on my face, armpits and groin while lying in bed to maintain a modicum of hygiene.
I dream of a shampoo. I know about shampoo caps but my hair is so dirty that they wouldn't clean it effectively, and dry shampoo just makes a mess.
That sucks, I'm so sorry :(Id like to more often, every other day or every time I go out is what I think would be best, but I just cant really get myself to lately
It was only a few weeks back I was showering every day just because it at least helped me relax a bit but my mental health has been tanking since so
Its been awhile...
Its also just hard as hell to feel clean living in this place
Its about as bad as the worst house youve seen on hoarders, and we dont have a way to clean laundry anymore so
*Any* attempt to clean up or fix my hygiene feels pointless for me...
If I could ever get out of this trailer I like to think Id be a lot better about my hygiene, Id love to go back to taking care of myself the way I did when I was with my ex
Was actually taking care of my hair too and genuinely it helped with my self esteem a ton
I hated how I looked before that, and now I do again
