I haven’t showered for a month and a half, all comments I ever get are about my shining hair and what do I use to style it

My situation: I am a male, decided not to shower for 2 months.

4 days: I smelled absolutely horrid and this stench could be caught at 10-15ft away by some! I was sick from it myself, but I stuck to my goal.

10 days my stench slowly subsided into wet dog.

13 days: dog subsided into wet pasta.

16 days: pasta turned into earth smell, but by now I had started to think that my nose was just desensitized and so I started to ask people.

Most of my friends are fond of honestly ripping on each other but most just said that I don’t smell like anything. Then I just stopped being self conscious altogether and resumed normal life to a 100% i.e. working out going to parties and even cuddling with people. Been a month and a half now, my skin and hair look really great, but what is most surprising of all is that I have received only positive feedback on my smell. I just make sure I cool off after working out and wipe the sweat away dry-shower style and it works perfect. I don’t know how long it will work for, but this is really weird in a good way.

Also if you look into fit for life type natural hygiene stuff. You’ll never have any bad smelling stuff leave your body, pores or anything. So like doubly not needed ! Especially if you go off what jet said .

My friend sent me this and I love it. I follow about the same routine, but I generally shower every 7-10 days…however I probably wash my hair about every 4 days. I’m just now switching to baking soda for hair cleaning (as in I’ll start tomorrow morning). If I smell, I’ll shower. If I sweat a lot (which is only after hardcore exercise) I’ll shower. If I feel or look dirty, I’ll shower. But it’s usually only once a week. And I love it. Of course I wash up in between. But I feel way better. And my skin is better. And it’s great.

God bless you as a mother and doing it alone so often. I had only one child, but I was practically a single mom, myself. When we came home from the hospital, we had no baby supplies because everyone who had offered to throw me a baby shower backed out because they had other friends expecting and didn’t want to slight them. My mom was upset because she gave up gifts she had bought before someone could hold a shower and we had to stop by her house to pick them up on the way home from clear across town! Unlike many other grandmothers, she couldn’t understand why I would want her to come over and help out the first or second week of being home.
So, it all rested on the shoulders of my then husband who resented the whole thing of being needed in that way. It was ironic because my grandma went to each of her daughter’s and daughters-in-law’s homes and helped out each time a baby was brought home. I saw this myself as a child.
You definately don’t expect to be a single mother when you become pregnant in a marriage. My daughter was born in 1975. I commend you for giving your friends the babysitting job while clean up before going out with them. Its a little trade-off and I’m sure they enjoy spending a little time with your baby!

First, to this Rob guy, I’m sure you’ve got the best intentions with this sex shower thing. However, sex in the shower usually requires a pre-wash. I don’t know a single woman who will actually let their significant other actually wash them from dirty to clean, especially in the tender zone. So, it’s more like a real shower and then slippery sex.

Anyway, I recently had another baby. Prior to that my youngest just turned 4. With hubby being out of town 3-4 dys a week, I was comfortable occasionally letting my 11 year old watch t.v. with the other two just long enough for me to feel clean. Now, with a newborn, I’m lucky if I do more than wave to the shower while sitting on the pot. Most of the nights when hubby is home, I have every intention of jumping in the shower. Unfortunately, if I make the mistake of sitting or worse, laying in bed for a second, then all the exhaustion I’ve been harbouring while he was away catches up with me. For those of you who don’t know, sleep will ALWAYS trump clean.

It’s funny, because I had been known to shower twice a day in my pre-parent years. Now, if I’m running out with a friend, I warn her that it is her job to watch the little ones while I shower so that we can go out.

It’s so nice to know that I’m not alone:)
