Personal Hygiene and Lockdown

It’s one advantage of working from home all the time, definitely no need for a shower even every second or third day as would be the norm. About one shower, max two across the 7 days of the week does me at the moment.

So you realise you need/should shower when going to work but seem happy to let personal hygiene lapse when at home, not alone, with your wife.
Unless ye sleep in separate beds that's a tad rank IMO.

Although a shower every third day when working is quite rank too.

All in the mind of the shower obsessed.

Well if you and your Mrs reckon going to the jacks for 5/6 days and having some couple time together without showering is normal, ye are well met.

This I am willing to try.
Why not.:D

I live on my own and haven't left the house in about 40 days, and I'm showering about once a week. But if others need to shower to help maintain a sense of routine and keep mentally healthy, I see nothing wrong with that.

Telly

I'm getting up, showering and putting on semi decent clothes to work at my kitchen table. I'm trying to keep some sort of routine working at home.

Same cats do be out if one suggests using a towel more than once, there was a thread on here a while back about that.

That is disgusting. I wouldn’t dream of it.

I believe that washing the, er, 'important' areas with flannel, soap & water at least once a day to be non-negiotiable, but a shower every day is wasteful of water, washes unneccesary shower gel/soap down the drain and causes my skin to dry out.

As long as the important parts are clean. Thing is, most people have abandoned the aul strip wash for showers and when people say they aren't showering they mean they're not washing at all. It's rank!

I dunno why you wouldn't shower daily, its super refreshing also cleansing of the mind, if you work in a busy job its a great time to meditate get your head clear.

I love my shower - I am an "evening" shower person rather than morning. Its therapeutic and sensual as in it involves touch and smell. Evenings for me are nicer as I feel I am washing the work day off me before I change into comfy home clothes.
I am still working at the moment (essential services) but even if I wasn't I couldn't go to sleep at night if I hadn't showered.

While I know most people prefer morning showers, I don't. If you shower in the evening and go to bed you're not going to be dirty first thing in the morning (unless you're getting down and dirty with OH!) so hands, face, teeth does it for me in the morning.

You don't need shower gel and soap every time you could have a rinse to wash of any big dirt and sweat.

I'd often go to the gym in the evening and just have a rinse when I get home to wash off the fresh sweat and freshen up. I shower every morning so I'll use shower gel then.

But on topic, not showering and walking around smelling, is gross. It's something that gross people do. Even if you have an underdeveloped sense of smell and you can't smell your own stink, other people can and it shapes people's opinion of you as a gross, smelly person.

That's fair, I do clean the necessaries more often.

You are a very judgmental person. We are in lockdown, you aren't supposed to be walking around or within 2 meters of any one else.

I'm working from home, and maintaining exactly the same personal hygiene routine as I always do, i.e. a proper shower every morning and shave every second day, including after-shave balm/body spray/cologne, and fresh underclothing. It's about my own personal feelgood factor as well as others inhaling my potentially noxious fumes.

I didn't say I was within 2m of anyone else except my wife. If she was a gross, smelly person, she wouldn't be my wife. Are you single, OP, by any chance? Smell carries, which is a fact I expect to be lost on people who can't smell it.

But yes, if someone is smelly and gross, I judge them a gross, smelly person. Ya got me.

Yeah, sounds like you haven’t been observing social distancing. Not surprising given that you seem to blame the ‘Tories’ for people being non compliant in London.

Not from my wife. And she's a delight to be within 2m.

I suspect that you're finding it easy to keep people more then 2m away from you:p. People have probably been practicing social distancing from you long before social distancing became a thing. You can usually tell the smelly ones and avoid them coming within smell range.

So single then? Actually don't answer. The answer is obvious from your attitude to hygiene amongst other things.

As I said you are a very judgmental person. It I had to guess I’d you are very ‘woke’, particularly when I see that you talk admiringly about an idiot like Russell Brand.

Lol. I judge smelly, and gross people to be gross smelly people. As do most people who smell them.

Good luck with social isolation. I'm sure you're used to it by this stage in your life.

It's just a bit of craic, right?

I'm about as "woke" as Roy Chubby Brown and I like to be properly clean and spruced every morning. The politicisation of every bloody thing is well beyond preposterous at this stage. :pac:

By the way, a smelly adult is a substandard adult, as far as I'm concerned.

You wouldn’t be someone whose opinion I value, particularly with all the petty insults. Your husband has my sympathy though. Living with you must be challenging.

Ugh Gay jokes? Seriously?

I'm not sure if you need to work on your hygiene or your patter first. They're both catalysts in keeping you single.

But on the bright side, you're safe from anyone ever wanting to be within 2m of you. So that's good.

Surely you give the old pecker and nut purse at least a rubdown with a face cloth before you slip between the sheets for a bit of the old ‘beast with two backs’?

no way, feel way better with a shower.
trying to wash my hair less though

She's delighted, as am I. Wouldn’t want to be in lockdown with anyone else. If you start by washing behind your ears and progress from there, you might convince someone to want to spend time in your company...some day... maybe.

Same cloth for all right?.

Beast with two backs?.


This is something I have thought about it people are cooped up at home will hygiene slip?.
It has to.

With the lockdown though there is some people going days without having a scrub. People purging on netflix stuffing their faces moulded into the chair all day will be growing new habitats on themselves by now.

As I said, a username of ‘duderino’ suggested a woman to me. You are a very petty person to keep harping on about that. As well as being judgmental.

Why are you so put out that a poster thought you had a husband. You don't, I get that, but why are you going on about it?

The poster thought you were either a woman, or gay.

Are these terrible shameful things?
