Twice a day?
I’m reminded of Grandpa McCoy, Walter Brennan of the TV show the Real McCoys, ranting that his kids spent so much time in the bath tub, their shriveled skin was going to fall off.
And in the fifties, the Dial soap commercial that said,
“Don’t you wish everybody else did?” (use the soap).
Talk about a site ‘going in the toiler’ or terlet for ABunker.
‘They’ say that if one can smell themselves that everyone else has been smelling them for a couple of days.
I have an olfactory problem and have the ‘good fortune’ of not smelling all that well - sometimes it is helpful.
The question is
Just because one can’t smell does that mean they don’t smell?
Not from the pictures I’ve seen!

I think they are counting Rio Grande crossings as bathing.
It was some of the most batshit stuff I’ve ever read.
I can’t even.
:D
My son’s wife’s stepfather is Indian. He took them both for a visit a few years ago. Son got deathly ill. They cooked meals in a filthy room, and had the disgusting habit of everyone touching their food after being served. Open sewers right outside luxury hotels. Never a place I’d go.
Three days after a shampoo and I feel scuzzy.
It’s a pita to wash hair this long but I’ll stick with my shampoo I think.
:)
And I ALWAYS remove the little water-saving restriction washer/band. The more water pressure, the better.
For a real long lasting clean wash your hair with wolverine pheromones and go for a walk in the woods. The wolverines will rip your scalp off and it will be months before you even have any skin on your head!
Aye and the lassies will like ya too! LOL
If I use a hair dryer it gets dirty faster.
If I let it air dry it takes forever.
Oh well, my sweetie likes it and that is all that counts.
They are using French tap water so it’s really hard to tell the difference
I bathe the first day of Spring whether I need it or not.
Yep if you have to carry water for a quarter of a mile or
haul it five miles behind a team of horses and in the winter
haul and chop wood to heat it with you just sponge bath
through the week and take a bath on saturday.
In the summer hopefully you live walking distance to a pond or
stream.
But the goodie two shoes of today who critisize the most would
rot before they would walk five or ten miles to a cold pond or
stream.
In 1977, I worked in an office setting doing accounting.
A man from India was hired. He was VERY smart-—dressed nicely in suit & tie each day.... but his body odor would knock out a Billy Goat.
After ONE WEEK in that office with only him & me, I told my boss that unless I was moved out of that office, I would quit.
I got an office of my own.
Probably true in his day, given that my Mother, who was 81 when she passed recently, told me that in the 40’s as a child, kids only bathed once a week. However, everything depends on your job. If you work a dirty job in all weather, you will tend to shower more.
Duhhh.
Interesting that US bathing pales in comparison to Mexico bathing.

Maybe crossing the Rio Grande counts as bathing?
