Discussion What is the longest period of time you've gone without showering?

1 day, I guess

I REALLY hate being dirty. If I haven't showered, I can feel the dirt, sweat, and everything else, and it really bugs me.
Update: I just remembered that I didn't wash for about five days while I was in the hospital—and that's even though I did wash genitalia area every day (at least I tried to wash up as best I could). And it was HORRIBLE; I felt disgusting because of it, plus I was weighed down by the whole hospital atmosphere and the discomfort of not being at home and sharing a ward with other people.

3 days. I was catatonic, albeit briefly, from a psychotic episode. One of the most terrifying moments of my life.

Lwk like a whole summer, I would wash my hair in the sink because I couldn't take care of myself.

Even now it's hard to shower because it's so much effort. I shower like literally once every 1-2 weeks.

My hair is fried so it hardly gets oily. It comes as a shock since online I portray myself as some sort of "pretty girl", which I clearly don't act like one.
