//Its not hard is it//

There's probably a lot less of you to wash & dry than there is of me!
the OP - - - is it OK
yes it is OK - and OK you smell on the bus, so what, it is not as tho there was ever a clean age for buses

would United utils say you should wash every day - yes they probably would.
yeah I have never thought of the cost of washing is as per-sq metre.

come on dave, it doesn't matter the person's size but their feelings towards their family, work mates.
//their feelings towards their family, work mates.//

I'm retired & I don't think my family will smell me from 100 miles away!
fair enough, time to move on....
I grew up with no bathroom and no hot running water in the summer. Tin bath once a week and a strip wash if the only sink in the house was free.
Unless you are physically active and sweaty, or do a dirty job, you do not need to bath or shower every day.
Showering or bathing too often can harm the skin https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zrckscw
psycho linguistics ( cognitive sociologists) will gape at this thread. There is almost a disjoint gender ( gelz and boys) divide on the meaning of 'OK'
'OK' for men - is it harmful
OK for women - will people on the bus object

one word with completely different connotation for men and women. 'Clean' is another but is complicated by the observation one can be ritually clean which interferes/complicates the gender divide

(just put my sociology hat on))
I shower and wash my hair everyday.
I think too much washing would dilute my pheromones & make me much less attractive to the opposite sex! (No amount of Lynx would make up for that.)
personally i can go for 2 weeks without washing my hair.
i can also go for a week without showering, so i think its "ok"
Of course it’s ok to shower twice a week, people are too hung up on how other people should behave. You do what you want, drobi.
Personally, I like to shower and wash my hair every day but everyone has their own preference and I would never comment on how often a person showered or washed their hair unless they actually smelled. And I think it would take more/less than showering twice a week for a person to actually smell.
I understand that there are dry powder cleansers for use on the hair (probably just the ladies).)
Re barry @ 14.27. Several years ago, a dermatologist friend of mine said that a surprising number of his patients had skin problems due to bathing/showering too often using too hot water and too much soap/shower gel. So emmie's "you must shower every day" is not the golden rule for everyone.
//So emmie's "you must shower every day" is not the golden rule for everyone.//

It's not a golden rule for anyone - it's an unnecessary obsession.
^actually, I meant to say "anyone"...not "everyone"!
I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't shower every day. So much quicker and fresher than washing ... unless those who don't shower daily don't have a thorough wash either. :o/
then you clearly dont have much imagination
Perhaps not. Tell me how daily washing is less time consuming and as effective as showering.
"I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't shower every day"
no shower
disabled and unable to access shower
bedbound
dressings that cant get wet
wounds that shouldn't get wet
simply too much effort
don't have time
