It literally saves so much water. ๐ง
How? Aren't you using more water than normal dry wiping, which uses none?
What i mean is that you can save a lot of water by cleaning yourself using a bidet + bath sink instead of doing a full shower. ๐ฐ
You don't need to shower every day. ๐ฟ
You don't need a shower everyday just because your ass gets dirty. You need to shower everyday because the rest of you is dirty too lol
To add: not everyone needs to shower daily, either. I don't have a physical job, I shower maybe twice a week. More than enough for me. Also use Aleppo soaps, because they keep you clean longer. High oil percentage.
There are very few people in this world in my opinion who shouldn't be showering daily or at least every other day.
I can spend all day doing nothing and still reek at the end of the day. I'm sorry but you sound gross. Ain't no high quality shampoo. Keeping the stink off you that long.
Sounds like you don't have enough experience with talking to people about hygiene? I know many people who don't shower daily and are perfectly hygienic and not smelly at all, me included, and my wife. Kids definitely usually don't need to bathe daily either. Sometimes weekly is enough. Especially infants shouldn't rinse too much, else they develop skin problems.
If you spend all day doing nothing and reek?? Sounds like a you problem. Probably genetic.
Research Aleppo soaps. Might actually help you!
Good luck, stinky! โค๏ธ๐
Not bathing kids more than once a week is insane. It definitely ain't me stinking lol.
I didn't say "not more than once a week", I said "sometimes weekly is enough". So at least once a week. At least. Big difference.
But daily isn't necessary, in fact probably more harmful than good unless they're really muddy or soiled themselves in other ways.
Our kids keep clean. Wash hands before and after each meal, after coming home from outside, etc. Winter time is here so they have warm clothes and play in the snow, so no dirt.
I work as a developer, lots of time sitting still. Mostly just shower after exercising at the gym a few times per week. That's enough. Otherwise no smell.
Okay? Thought you said you "reek" after 1 single day of "doing nothing"? Which is it? Will you reek or won't you reek? You might have some hormonal issues that make your skin smelly. Might want to look it up.
Good luck! ๐
