This is a thread for which to discuss your personal hygenics.
I myself am not huge on personal hygiene, but I still do it. I brush twice a day and (usually) shower once a day. Yes I know this thread will be short. =\
A la cuisine! Er- I mean, a la bathroom!
Who would be stupid enough to vote "I love it but never do it"
It's embarrassing and doesn't make any sense.
That's my thoughts on the matter, too. No offense.
Not speaking for myself, but almost everybody will vote A or C, even if they personally fall into the B or D category.
I shower 5 days a week, not giving a fuck on weekends until going out (although the occasional Sunday bath is bliss).
I wash my hands if I sprinkle my hands while peeing and always after pooping.
I brush my teeth at least once every day.
I'm not one of those people who stay away from people with colds. I don't give a fuck, as obtaining diseases strengthen my immune system (I believe), and if you get colds early on in winter, you won't get them later on.
Erm… I don't clean my ears?
I hate washing my hands at this time of year because it's so… damn... cold. But I have to.
And whats with choice number 2, It doesn't really say If you engage in daily hygiene, just that you hate it. And If you look at number 3, there it actually says that you hate it but still do it, so that cancels out that option for number 2. But that would actually mean that number 2 still means that you don't look after your hygiene, which makes it the almost the same choice as number 4…
It really is your stand on hygiene. Even if you hate it and think it sucks doesn't mean you don't engage in it.
Number 4 is kind of a joke choice. Kind of…
I think I take number 2….

Why do our hair get greasy? Animals are doing fine with grease-free fur.
We're the only mammal that sweats, besides horses

Now we rly have a personal hygiene thread…
Can`t believe that was rly created on a manga-forum.
Wtf guys, do we rly need to discuss that?
Who cares how you sit before your PC and everyone who answers not to be hygenic is dumb and should stop posting and leave this place.
This happens to be a hot topic. People want to know what they want to know. If you're not interested then you don't have to pay attention. I know you may think this is a silly topic, but even though it is doesn't mean you have to be so harsh. XO
This is the general discussion section and this so happens to be a general discussion.
What's up with the pedantic, pessimistic posts?
You don't like this thread, fine, then stop bumping it with your own posts. Hell, I don't think it's breaking any rules, really.
I didn't like the earwax thread, but I left it at that.
I shower every day. I have a nearly OCD like hygienic ritual I do every morning.
I hate that feeling where you haven't had a shower. It will drive me literally insane.
… a lot of people wouldn't apply to those poll options....
I usually try to get a nice cozy shower every 1-2 days. I have night classes on tuesday & thursdays, so I don't really get the chance to shower then. The rest of the week is free for hygiene though.
Hand washing, though I might go a little overboard on. Mostly because something usually happens after I wash my hands the first time (and sometimes many times after)
I also have issues when dealing with pee and poop, especially when it belongs to other people. I babysit a 2 year old (diapers) and until recently my grandfather with limited mobility and limited bowel and urinary control lived with my family.
My lotion is my lover this time of year.
I like baths.
Lots and lots of baths.
Like, three a day when I can.
I can't understand for the life of me why someone would not like baths.
この世に悪があるとすればそれは人の心だ。
It's frigid cold here. No heater and the the heating system is currently out of order. Going near water is my biggest fear right now. Unforunately I have to man up and commit suicide anyway.
Take Zenigame's post and substitute "bath" for "shower" and one gets me.
I haven't taken a bath in years. No joke. I'm all about the showers.
Everything's Eventual…

Does everything need to make sense?
I didn't find the option: "I really love it so much that i never do it". I took the next logical choice.
if it's not the first one, its a confession
First impressions are everything. If you smell like a gym sock, people will assume right away you are a dirty person.
I haven't taken a bath in years. No joke. I'm all about the showers.
I haven't taken a shower in years.
We don't own a shower, in fact we never did. Not even a shower curtain around our bathtub. So the only times I ever took a shower in my whole life was whenever I stayed over somewhere.
I hate taking showers. I need to bathe in boiling hot water or it won't do any good.
I just took a shower.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
I hate bathing even more then showering.
Bathing takes more time and skin … getting old is ugly. And to me it always feels like sitting in my own dirt. This is too disgusting.
But what I love. Getting in with cold water and then, when you lie just put it on on REALLY hot. The hottest that goes. It's sending shivers all over my body, this feels so nice ~
And I hate showering because you have to stand all the time. lol. And when you get out it's just coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold. so cold. ugh.
And you have to be naked. I hate to see myself naked. I have some bis issues with this.
And yes of course I still shower but I'm always in a bad mood before and in the progress. When I'm dressed again everything's fine again.

You don't HAVE to be naked in the shower.
As a kid, I used to take candle-light baths and consider it play time. I put bubbles in and played with my toy soldiers by placing them all around the rim of the bath tub. We have one of those fancy, antique ones too:
!
That said, I usually take showers these days but if I ever do take a bath again, I'm going to need candles and bubbles otherwise I'll feel like what Nami described. It just seems dirty…
You don't HAVE to be naked in the shower.
yeah, but getting wet clothes isn't helping. And applying gel on a shirt is a bit weird, don't you think?:ninja:

You could wear a bikini. Find one with the least amount of cover and voilà.

Yeah, when I was young I basically did the same thing Kenny did. I always brought my action figures and my favorite CDs when I took a bath. I loved it but now I hate taking baths (haven't done it in 4 years or so).
I love showering however. It's one of the best ways to think about everything and relax (even though you have to stand). The longest I've ever showered was 2 hours.
Well… gouge your eyes out then :sideways: .
I always take a shower. Shortest was 5 mins and longest like 30 xd
All of my showers are 30 minutes long. I usually stand around and do the thinking thing as well and it's especially relaxing to have a strong stream of water just hit you in the back of the head. The process I take is brushing my teeth –-> washing my face ---> washing my hair ---> washing my body. I shave afterwards (and gel my hair). Always apply deoderant and sometimes cologne if I'm going out...
Shit is annoying. I use one of those fruity loofahs too (a blue one):
!
There is nothing more stimulating to the imagination than warm water coursing down your body.

Yes, I shower every day, brush and floss my teeth twice a day (sometimes once, admittedly, if I'm not going anywhere or seeing anyone), and I am a little compulsive about washing hands.
I remember I used to think bathtime was playtime too, I took my toys in the bathtub and shower, too. I must have made my parents' water bill really high.
Ah, that reminds me. I hate taking showers and shaving but I do wash my hands very frequently. I have this giant bottle of anti-bacterial soap that I wash my hands with before a meal, after a meal, after using the bathroom, after getting home from classes, before cooking, after cooking, after getting back from a place, etc.
I'm especially particular about the cooking one and will wash my hands frequently if I'm cooking something like turkey or chicken. It's both for my sake and the fact that it's just plain disgusting to eat food from someone that doesn't keep their hands clean.
I was when I'm near something with which I can wash. No joke. I can go weeks without showering for lack of encountering one or daily if one's readily available (right next to me). Also, though I usually don't floss, there was a time of a few months where I left one in my pants pocket and continued flossing almost hourly. I tend to follow my habits and instincts.
I take a shower and brush my teeth once a day. I also wash my hands every once in awhile.

I'm the same when it comes to washing my hands. I use up a lot of soap.

Hmmm…I thought all bathtubs came with shower heads. I guess not. I would take a bath if it weren't more time consuming than a shower. I just never find the time to take one and of course I can't nor would I ever take a bath up here in college (shared bathrooms). ~_~ I understand the notion some people have said already about not taking baths because it feels like you're bathing in your own dirt, but I do admit baths are more relaxing than showers.
I plan on taking a bath again for the first time in years when I own my first house. I'll just sit there and play with toys like I did when I was little and splash around the tub making a horrendous mess. Oh, and of course there will be bubbles.
My home has two showers and two bathtubs. One of them is both (included). I loved taking a bath in the one with three mirrors around. It was fun to see a bunch of you and look into an endless tunnel. There is also a slanted side where I used to slide on. But now we use it for storage of towels and other bathroom stuff. I only take showers now, which I hate. However, there was a time when I loved taking showers too…
You see, in our lone shower there's two shower heads on opposite sides. Two! And there used to be two mini shower heads that were around the waist area. With adjustable water force. I know right! Cool. I think it was supposed to be a two person shower. My parents used to take showers together. shivers Well anyways, when I took a shower I would turn on both of them to full power and stand in the middle. It was sooo relaxing. The waist mini shower head on the right is broken now, so I hate taking showers knowing that it was so much better.
I shower everyday, but I really only end up shampooing/conditioning once a week. Shampoo takes most if not all of the grease/oils out of my hair, which makes it look boring. Keep it free of shampoo for a day and you can pretty much style it in anyway you want and it doesn't necessarily even look unclean.

This is true. Most girls I know wash their hair once or just a couple of times a week, I'd assume you are a girl.
My problem, as a guy, is that I frequently end up with sweaty hair after running a little bit or doing some kind of physical activity during the day, heck I sweat for no reason during the day sometimes if it gets a little hot, I think most guys here will agree with me so I got no other choice but to wash my hair daily.
But every now and then, especially when I'm going out I try not to shampoo and only use a little conditioner it lets me style my hair better just as you said.
Continuing with the topic here: Well, I do take a shower and use deodorant daily, brush my teeth at least 3 times a day. Rarely, on those days when I can just stay home and slack off I don't bother taking a shower.
Now that someone brought it up, I've never taken a bath, although there is one home. It seems very time consuming.
One question, how does one wash off the soap, shampoo or whatever is put in the bathtub from one's skin?
I shower, typically, once a day. If I shampoo is the question. Sometimes I just stand there for 30-40 minutes letting the hot water get me. It makes my neck feel awesome.
Curly hair is impossible to style. Without shampoo, my hair looks like the Joker's.
So I just use shampoo every time.
I wash my hair every second day.
When I don't go outside I don't wash it. I heard it's healthy for the hair to let it grease.

Nope, I'm a guy. Even back during the warmer days, when I was more prone to sweating, I didn't sweat that much (I never have though due to my genetics).
Now it's bitter and gelid outside, so when I take a run/ski, it's too cold for me to even break a sweat.
my hair looks gross if i don't wash it. 
and to the 2 people that take 3 baths a day, and showered for 2 hours, don't you feel guilty for how much water your wasting? T_T
