yep, I try not to disturb my natural skin microbiome too much. if I shower too often I seem to stink more! I regularly use a bidet and spot-wash my armpits and genitals tho.

if you invested as much time into bathing as you do making up excuses about why you don’t need to bathe you wouldn’t smell like wet dog when it rains 🤌

If you have to constantly check with other people to make sure you don't smell horribly, you are doing something wrong. Showering once every 10 days is crazy

Bathing Twitter is weird. People insist on staying ignorant about our skin being 25% of our immune system, that over washing is damaging, that sponge baths and bidets are also methods of bathing. Ignore the critics.
