off-topic Smell Great, Even If You Haven’t Bathed for a Few Days

[Reelz]

I think we've all found ourselves in a situation where we were unable to bath for days. I remember when my dad was sick for about a month, I was stuck, and I could go for days without showering. I mean, our hospitals here lack basic amenities. If you find yourself in a situation like travelling, or camping, where bathing might not be consistent, I've got some quick and easy tips to keep you smell nice.

1. Use the deodorant wipes
2. Always apply perfume
3. Use the dry shampoo in your hair to
absorb excess oil.
4. You just use mouthwash
Fresh breath boosts confidence and overall freshness.
5. Use baby powder to help in absorbing body moisture and keep you dry all day.
6. Use the oil sprays to eliminate bacteria.

I'm sure that these few steps will make you smell good and you'll be sparkling.

All those tips are very good but I don't think there's anything in this life that's going to make me not take my bath in a day at least once. I won't be able to sleep without taking my bath at night.

To each their own, but I don't shower daily. Our skin has nature oils, and washing those off daily interferes with your immunity.

I'm not saying you shouldn't wash the most important things such as face, hands and genitals. But some people think they're dirty when they don't shower daily.

I shower everyday without fail. Added to that I often soak in a hot bath, I am a clean freak.

I get there are times where you might need to go for a few days, but even homeless people or vagabonds could use truck stop washrooms if need be. The longest I went without a shower was a week though because I was sick. I couldn't get out of bed without feeling like I was going to pass out, and when I started feeling a little better I almost did pass out in the shower.

I sincerely understand where you are coming from. Nothing beats bathing with soap and water. It makes you sparkle and keeps you smelling fresh. But let’s say you find yourself in a situation where you have no access to a bath. What would you do to stay fresh?

Days? I've had to do it for a week or two. However, I did have baby wipes to keep the stank to a minimum and to clean private areas.

3. Use the dry shampoo in your hair to
absorb excess oil.

This would have been nice because my hair gets oily the quickest.

5. Use baby powder to help in absorbing body moisture and keep you dry all day.

And this to prevent rashing, which eventually turns into sores.

This is true. However, I still feel dirty. It's probably because I live in a hot climate where I sweat profusely to the point of smelling myself over antiperspirant deodorant.

I shower everyday without fail. Added to that I often soak in a hot bath, I am a clean freak.

Sometimes two or three times, especially if I go to the gym that day. However, in winter, I can stand skipping a shower once if I have to.

The longest I went without a shower was a week though because I was sick.

Good point. I will also avoid showering during periods when I'm sick. This is because when I was a kid, I took a hot bath when I was sick and it threw me into a fever. I got such a high fever after the bath that it couldn't be controlled by Tylenol and slipped into a seizure as my temperature went beyond a measurable 104F.

I won't put my kids into the shower when they're sick, nor will I get in it either. In that scenario, it's a wait-it-out thing. I'm not a doctor and I don't know whether the same thing could happen again to either them or me, so it's better to be smelly than sorry.

I can understand that the changes with climate and temperature conditions of each part of the world would influence some people to be open to not having their bath everyday.

Unfortunately, it's not possible for you not to take your bath in my country twice a day. It's so hot that you're going sweat so bad. If you don't take your bath, you're going to stink. Washing only your genitals wouldn't cut it.

And this to prevent rashing, which eventually turns into sores.

It can keep your body dry all day. If you have a very oily skin like me, it is advisable to apply it everyday.

I hope not be so unfortunate and find myself in such a situation because it's going to be ugly and unbearable for me to withstand. It means my bath isn't the only thing I would be worried about but also not being able to sleep no matter what else I would be able to do that's going to keep me fresh.

Can anyone actually smell great without bathing for days? I really doubt that. If you have not bathed for days the only way to smell great is to use perfume or deodorant.
