    Wow, AS, you beat my record for dirtiness. Up till two years ago, I didn't bathe at all.

      i doubt that... a 4 or 5 year old is too young to be taking a shower... you would've slipped and banged your head on the faucet.

          That's what faucets are there for AS.
          If that was actually a problem, a faucet would be a hole in the wall, maybe with a small spout.

            What?! American barbarians!

            I usually did and do take a bath once a week. Except in India. Trust me, not bathing at all in India is better than bathing in the water they give.

                  Didn't you take showers with your mom or dad as an infant??

                    I never bathe.



















                    I shower every night before I go to bed though, and this saves me time in the morning.

                      I usually shower every morning. There are some weekend days where I just don't bother though.

                        Once per week? That often? Horrible!

                          A more accurate question would be 'when do people in other cultures bathe/take shower'.

                          I remember having behave barbarian to frenchies by taking my shower the morning and not the evening.
                          In France they seem to bath/take shower the evening: 'don't make the sheets dirty with your day sweat', while in Belgium we bathe/take shower the morning: 'don't make you clothes dirty with your night sweat'.

                          Usually home, I take a shower every morning.
                          When it's hot or when I am in warmer countries I may take a shower before getting dressed and a bath (if available, otherwise, second shower) before going to bed.

                              I bathe every second day (before I go to sleep) and I am said to bathe very often
                              If it is very hot I often also take a shower in the days between.

                              Don´t know how often other people here in Germany bathe.

                              After all there is also a certain awareness about how much water gets wasted with every bath, which is why many people here often just shower instead of taking a bath (uses much less water)

                              So I can be considered to be some kind of ecological sinner in my country

                                Only if a shower uses less than half the water of a bath.
