It's very rare that anybody has ever noticed my stank. But I usually will start climbing the walls and feel like I need to shower after about 24 hrs .
One time, when I was driving long- haul, delivery times were so tight that I wound up going 6 days without a shower. I was using baby wipes to freshen up a little..... but, after almost a week, I felt like I needed a freaking wire brush & brillo pad to get truly clean . I felt so disgusting....

In the Marines during exercises out in the desert there were times when I didn't have a chance to shower for around 4 days; some times there was spare time for a "field shower" (just rubbing yourself down in key areas with a wet cloth and soap), but other times not even that.

As for by my own choice, two days max. When I wake up the third day's morning (48 hours), I feel so nasty I just HAVE to jump in the shower first thing.

I often wonder how often women do this sort of thing as opposed to men. Of course women are so self-conscious about even being perceived as dirty (never mind actually being dirty, something men can take pride in in some situations), they will probably not admit to having EVER gone a day without a shower even once of their own volition. The reality is of course otherwise. :)

I'm SK, and I'll admit to going 2 days without a shower. I don't shower every day because it both dries out my hair and makes the hot pink dye fade. If I'm feeling grungy, I will pop a shower cap on and clean the bod. Same thing with if I just straightened my hair. It's a bitch to do and I want it to stay straight for as long as possible. I also have dry shampoo for that reason. I also pee in the shower. Booyahkuh.

My own choice, 3 days. After that, even if there isn't a smell or anything, my skin tends to feel gritty and washing cures that.

Longest I've ever gone without a shower was about 35 days during a deployment. Even with spot washing the "problem" areas, it felt beyond gross.

A week. And, I didn't smell. However, that was still using deodorant, wipes for the genital areas, and spot washing as needed. Man, it sucks to loose electricity for a week due to a storm. Interesting though, my parents generation only bathed once a week. And typically, it was a bathtub not a shower.

Without using any deo-gadgets its impossible to be around others without showering. Ok maybe max one day, that's the limit. No matter if arm pit smell is a trun on for someone, i find it somehow rude to "force" your smell on others. We are not terriotorial like fielines so a shower a day makes the smell go away. Unless you go out in the wildrness and spend many days in a no-facilities- area, maximum one day is the longest to go without a splash of clean water.

A week easily, during the big storms with no power. I was lucky to be able to heat water with gas for bathing, so twice a day i had heated 1 to 2 gallons of water for bathing. And I was one of the lucky ones

A week - usually not longer than 3 days, and even then I'd just have a basin wash in between.

1 day max. It seems with the younger generation that they can go without a shower for at least a week!

I can stretch to two days if I can have a slut bath. That's what my Mum used to call a wet wash cloth with a bit of soap.

When I'm camping the most I can do is two nights. Then it's not fun anymore.

In Honolulu I have to shower twice a day, any non-tropical place I have to shower at least once a day. I can skip a day in either place under duress (like the hospital) but I have to at least take a bird bath.
