So I have balls and yeah they’re the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I’m in a hurry and I don’t smell much. That’s with working a job that’s usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn’t bathe every day. I didn’t notice much smell then.

Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What’s up?

    People produce different amounts of body odor. Also it’s better for your skin to not use shampoo every day. 4-5 times a week is totally fine.

      I never use shampoo, only soap. I live in a place that is always hot and humid. We’re in out coldest time of the year now and it’s currently 27 degrees Celsius outside at 0830

      Trust me people nee to shower once a day or you can smell them across the street

        Maybe people from those extremes shouldn’t advise the rest of the world what to do then.

        I meant to write soap, not shampoo, my bad.

        Probably has to do with the temperature where you live though… It’s different in colder climates, which is apparently most of the world if that’s really the coldest time of year. I’d suggest to try showering with just water once in a while. It should remove most of the sweat and odor, without attacking you skin.

          Yeah I think when most people say they shower every day, they don’t mean they are literally washing everywhere with soap. I shower every day (yes it’s hot here too) but shampoo hair maybe twice a week, soap on my whole body usually only once a month or so and usually because I want to exfoliate. Most showers I am very selective in what actually gets washed.
