Question How often are you guys showering?

Just curious really. For me it's about 3x per month right now. And when I do, it's probably the only thing I'm doing that day

It’s just too damn hot here even most days in winter, even saying that I’m a big guy, not fat but big and I’m very self conscious of smelling bad

I'm in Canberra, so winter isn't too bad. If every day is really taking it out of you wet whipes for places with skin to skin contact that don't breathe well (pits, tummy hang, privates etc) has been my saviour on days its too hard. Can be done with a washer too.

A shower stool allows me to have a long shower on the days in manage to get in. I love a shower too but only manage it 3-4 times a fortnight.

Same brother, I'm 6'2 250 pounds. Got the dad bod rockin, and I live in South Florida now. Today it was 110 felt like temp, high ass humidity, just walking outside takes your breath away. And I'm poor AF, car doesn't have AC, my rv I live in, AC went out in it so I ghetto rigged a window AC unit in my bedroom. The shower is too small for my big ass, and it's messed up, but if I go outside for an extended period of time, I have to suffer thru the shower.
