My longest streak is about 3 months I think. I would just apply deodorant to areas that smelled like rotting fish and call it good. It's a real time saver. When I finally did shower again, there was a massive amount of dead skin that came off. Must have been at least half a pound of the stuff. Good times lol.

Probably about 5 days during the stay at my sister's house in Spain, as she had no running water because of a problem with one of the water pipes that hadn't been fixed by then.

I think it was 3 days, 4 days.. was really sick during that period so I would just pat my body down with wet towels to atleast *kind of* clean myself.
I opened two gifts this morning and they were my eyes

How lucky am I to live another day in this body?

Longest period for me was a month. This was after I finished school, but before any job interviews at the time.

Maybe a few days when camping or something. Then that time I had to rent a hotel room due to a botched bathroom renovation. Probably four or five days.

It's been years since I last didn't shower for more than 24 hours, but if I remember correctly longest I've gone is a whole week.

4 days maximum.... It would be hard for me to go beyond 4 days due to my physicial problem, uninary incontinence that makes me wear diapers 24/7, that makes me yearn for a shower or a bath.

I don't remember from when I was a kid.
I've been taking a shower every morning for years. If I go out at night, I take a shower again. And if it was a concert and I came back destroyed, a third shower comes out when I return.

@juanlqr Taking showers that often will damage your skin and could lead to cancer. Be careful. Also, 100% of people who shower wind up dying some day.

I can't not shower before going out.
If I don't do it I don't go out. And I have to go to work at least haha.

Maybe a few days, but it's been daily for many years, as I otherwise don't feel great and it helps me wake up.

2 weeks was the longest.
It was freezing cold then (for the climate I live in), and long story short, the boiler wouldn't give hot water, and this stupid me didn't think to heat the water any other way.

I'm pretty sure 2 weeks (give or take) was the longest I've gone. I was a lot younger at the time and my depression was at it's worst. Now I have to shower at least once a day, and even then I don't feel clean enough most of the time.

3 months is CRAZY. Longest I've gone without a shower is three days, but that was only because we didn't have any water.

I guess about a week perhaps. I used to have a bath every single day but i found that quite tiresome so i changed it to once every couple of days instead. If our shower worked though i would have one of those every day.
