| Apr 14, 2014 at 1:33 | comment | added | Let A Pro Do IT | "I only shower once every few days, sometimes as little as once a week depending how oily/sticky I'm feeling" You most definitely have to be a man, not many women, if any at all, could get away with that. | |

| Mar 13, 2014 at 7:05 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | The closest I came to finding an answer was this 2001 paper claiming "However, aside from hand cleansing, specific evidence is lacking to link bathing or general skin cleansing with preventing infections." and a discussion on why it was hard to prove. I wasn't happy with the references though. | |

| Mar 12, 2014 at 13:57 | comment | added | erb | Additionally I've also heard many people claim that showering makes them more alert (usually the specified reason why they do so every morning). While I don't find it hard to believe, I still wonder about the accuracy of their claim. | |

| Mar 10, 2014 at 14:27 | comment | added | gerrit | I'm in your situation, but does anyone claim that daily showering is good for your health, as the title states? | |
