OP

EDIT: Thanks for the perspectives everyone - l did not expect this to blow up and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the vastly different responses (thank you to those who treated my question as genuinely not stupid). I think my main takeaway is that while not everyone thinks not showering every day is objectively disgusting, I can be taking more steps to make absolutely sure I don't smell bad so I'm considerate of others. It was helpful for me to see all the factors people consider when making their showering decisions. Since the people in my life are eager to hug me, choose to sit close to me, select me for people-facing leadership roles, and are very honest in every other area of my life, I'm choosing to continue doing what's right for me and make more drastic changes if I see evidence otherwise.

I (F25) typically shower every 2-3 days. When I say I don't shower every day, I mean I do not step into a shower at all, not just skipping washing my hair. My curly hair doesn't really get greasy, but if it does, I hide it with different hairstyles and accessories. I don't sweat often, always wear a scented deodorant, and just work an office job with a few days remote.

A few days ago I saw a post absolutely blasting people who don't shower every single day, and many people even said they shower multiple times a day. The comment section was pretty unanimous and I'm feeling self conscious about this, especially because I've always had an almost nonexistent sense of smell. My boss also made a comment (EDIT: in a conversation completely unrelated to hygiene) assuming everyone showers every day and I lied and went along with it.

My ADHD brain can't fathom doing such a taxing routine every single day. I also hear that it's not great for your skin and hair to shower every day and the WHO doesn't even recommend showering every day. Are daily showers just a thing in the USA? Do I actually have poor hygiene and everyone just bears with me?


It depends on the person. If you have BO then you need to shower more. If not then it's fine

The tough part is that I can't tell. Anytime I ask my husband, who's probably nose blind to me, he just shrugs and says โ€œyou smell like you, and it isn't a bad smell.โ€ Not very helpful lol.

Oh look, it's married to another :marseystinky:

I was told I smelled "unwashed" a few times at work, and the last time I was told that I said truthfully "but I showered 3 hours ago and put on clean clothes and deodorant"

It turns out it was my bed. I had been sleeping on a mattress that had no sheets for years. Just nasty sweaty unwashed mattress. Replaced the mattress, which was inexpensive because it was a hand-me-down from family, and kept clean sheets on it regularly. The "unwashed" smell went away immediately.

Just average redditor things.

How's you butt and junk? That kinda gets smelly pretty quicklyโ€ฆ.sitting in it all day long. Farting, wiping in a rushโ€ฆmore sittingโ€ฆpubic hair gathering food crumbsโ€ฆ

i'm sorry.. food crumbs??

Yeah, food crumbs

my dude are you eating sandwiches in the nude or something?

:marseydisgust:

And many more such revolting stories of redditor hygiene throughout the comments.

/r/natalism is a potential drama goldmine

/r/natalism is the more positive (but still weird) antithesis to /r/antinatalism, the most doomer subreddit there is. Naturally, the losers of /r/antinatalism cant stand people actually wanting to bring children into this world, so almost every thread is filled with drama.

Some dramatic threads back and forth on both subs:

Do you ever feel like things are just wrong?

I've had a pervasive feeling my entire life that something is deeply, badly wrong. Never been able to pin it down, but it's there. What about you?

ONLY FANS BULLSHIT (51)

Random question, why does it matter at all? She's still a person and she's asking for advice on her looks. You just attack people that you perceive as beneath you or something? If she asks for advice, give the girl advice. You don't have to go to her profile. Just use the images that she provided. (-25)

Basedness: ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜

He's dumber than a bag of hammers then. (-8)

Basedness: ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜

Because โ€œsheโ€ isn't asking for advice. โ€œSheโ€ is pretending to, just as an advertisement for her OF or other porn platform. Even if it's not posted in their profile, you PM them and I guarantee they will give you a link. And โ€œsheโ€ is in quotes because usually it's a guy stealing pictures from someone. (9)

Why would anyone be pming someone who posts here? As far as this post is concerned, she's a regular person asking the same question everyone else on here asks. But because she has an onlyfans, she's all the sudden beneath you? (-7)

Don't say that you will get pulled by mods (1)

In some subs you'll get banned regardless of whether or not you mention onlyfans. I made a passing comment about a karma farming cosplayer (the kind that duplicates most of their posts in the same sub if it doesn't do well the first time) and I got permabanned from /r/finalfantasy. My comment was the most harmless fricking thing, just called the user annoying as frick.Just because they make money posting shit on reddit doesn't mean they should get special treatment, reddit mods seem to think that anyone who raises a point about spam is actually just a woman hating loser (4)
