Curiosity only.

Here in Brazil it's very common to have several showers a day. I, for example, take two. The first is when I wake up, before I go to work, and the second is when I get home from work. I wake up at 6.30am and get home at 8pm.

edit: I said bath, but I meant shower.

      The biggest problem is the time I waste on public transport. My working hours are from 9am to 6pm.

    All the Brazilians I knew were shocked when they learned I only took one shower per day. Most of them claimed to take 3 per day. I just chocked it up to their being in a warmer climate.

    Living in New England, United States, I shower on the three days a week that I work. On days off, I only shower if I've been working in the yard or something like that.

    When I lived in the Caribbean, I showered at least once, often twice a day. It's very different in the tropics lol

    I assume by baths you also mean showers. I think almost everyone I've ever met including myself would limit to once per day unless they specifically get dirty or sweaty from exercise.

      Not shower, bath. Scrub all parts of the body with soap, shampoo, conditioner and post-bath deodorant. Women don't usually wash their hair every day here.

        Acho que você confundiu, não? "Bath" normalmente é usado para banheira e afins. "Shower" é o que a maioria dos BRs faz mesmo, ducha/chuveiro com shampoo, condicionador e sabão.

          Sim, fui burro. Fui perceber depois que o amigo do Parabá deixou claro no post hahaha.

    The last bath I took was probably at least ten years ago. (Not counting swimming in a lake or pool or anything like that)

        The US has more of a shower culture than a bath culture. I haven’t taken a bath in over a decade, but I shower after my daily exercise.

        There's a couple of mildly funny interactions in here. Question in the reverse, does that mean you're often showering without a full scrub (a rinse, we'd call it) regularly?

        Once a day until it gets into sweaty season, then whatever i need to maintaindecorum.

        I had a bath bath last year, I think?

          The shower I'm talking about is actually a full shower, twice a day. Where I live, a quick shower with just water is when you're at home and you can't take a full shower because of the heat, so you stay in the backyard, with a swimming pool, a shower, or you take a quick dip with water to ease the heat.

          I was wrong, I only had a bath when I was a child. I'm sorry.

        Most of the tubs I've had in america are too small for me to actually use. Both too shallow and too short. Half my body would be out of the water.

        My last bath was also around 10 years ago in a hotel that had a nice deep tub.

    [For the sake of other commenters: OP likely meant washing oneself, regardless of immersion bath or not. It's just that Portuguese "banho" can mean both "shower" and "bath".]

    From 4 to 12 times a week. If it's mid-winter and I spent the whole day working (from home, no heavy labour), I might skip a shower day, never two in a row because that's nasty. If it's hot I'll probably take a proper/cleaning shower every morning, plus a quick shower around 18:00. (I'm from Paraná.)

      The cold in Paraná is a delight, right? Here in Rio de Janeiro, the cold is an illusion. I think I can go without a shower for a day, if I don't have to leave the house and it's freezing cold.

    I have a shower every morning, first thing, will only skip a morning shower on the rare day in just laying about the house.

    Will have a second shower only if I've been doing something sweaty/dirty like mowing or bush walking.

    Edit: Worth adding that in an Aussie, not in a humid or overly hot location and don't have a physical job.

    Living in Germany (so under normal circumstances not a very hot climate) i shower once a day except when going to the gym, doing hard manual labour and so on.

    The interesting thing is: When i was a kid and young adult (so in the dark ages of the 80s to late 90s) i only showered once every 2 - 4 days and never smelled bad...

    I shower once per day in the evening, except when I come home very late because of a party or something.

      Coming home late and not showering, at least with me, only when I'm drunk enough.

          In my case I wouldn't have any discomfort, it would just be a physical disability hahahaha
