This is also the frequency with which I shower. I also experimented with showering, and when I say this usually the people I'm talking to go oh god oh no you must stink horribly, and I promise this is *not the case*, as verified by people around me who do tell me when I stink

My general feel now is most people's showering/washing habits feel strange to me? Like for most people, showering every day is probably absolutely excessive and creates a physical dependency on showering more. Your body acclimates and then 'needs' it.

On the other hand, I had a hard time getting a level of cleanliness that felt easy and good after around two weeks out, and so probably that's the upper limit for what your body can naturally maintain (with some variance for diff genes and diets).

But not sweat! Tho I'm not super physically active, I do dance hard and am an excessive sweater (team hyperhidrosis unite), and the frequency with which I felt I needed to shower was mostly independent of my activity and sweat, tho I *did* spotclean my crevices more often.

And - again I do risk more mockery here - there is a 'natural body scent' that I grew to really enjoy with less showering (including in ppl around me who also showered less). It's not roses and vanilla, but it smells human and good and full of personality and I like it a lot.

Just wondering, if you are showering infrequently have you considered a good soaking bath instead? Showers are quick and easy for the convenience of frequency. A bath a week with a long soaking would probably clean better. I once had a place with only a tub, i loved the baths
