Average Showers and Shampoos by Country
Keep me posted. I’m going to jump into the shower.
Other habits of cleanliness, such as the use of bidets, needs to be considered.
Please feel free to scoot the dead cows aside.
So I looked up “no-poo” methods and it listed dumping baking soda, vinegar and honey on your head.
Yes.
That is what I want with fanny-length hair.
A sickeningly sweet, gently fizzing mess.
Ugh
Imagine living a few centuries ago. I prefer the cleaned up movie version of the past.
There's a world of difference between showering every day and washing your hands after using the bathroom or before eating.
I live in South Carolina so about 5 times a day in the Spring, Fall and Summer. Three times a day during the Winter. /sarc
If over 70% of the US shower daily (1st chart). Yet on average the US takes only 4 showers a week (2nd Chart).
Then 70%*7 + 30%*x = 4 showers per week.
Solving for x =
.3x = 4 - .7*7
.3x = 4 - 4.9
.3x = -0.9
x= -0.9/.3 = -3.
The 30% are taking negative 3 showers a week.
Interesting that US bathing pales in comparison to Mexico bathing.
I remember watching Johnny Carson one evening, and during the monologue, or maybe it was while interviewing a guest, he mentioned how back in the day, in Nebraska, one didn’t get to bathe every day, and how modern advertising had created the ‘need’ to bathe/shower daily. He followed this up by mentioning to the audience that you didn’t really need to, ya know.
From the audience’s reaction, you’d think that he had advocated cannibalism.
It was hilarious, and yet disturbing at the same time.
“the advertising industry had to create pseudoscientific maladies like ‘bad breath’ and ‘body odor.’”
Yeah, because a bus full of people in a foreign country is always a pleasant experience. It was the soap and advertising industry that tricked us into thinking they freakin’ stink.
***One family went six months without using soap and raved about the results.***
But what did the people around them think? I’ve been around people who could stink up a gymnasium just by walking in the door. Others stank so bad we could not work around them, they were put in areas where they could not gag other people.

When the first Jesuit missionaries arrived in Japan in the 16th century and discovered that the Japanese believed in bathing every day, it was very strange to them. As Europeans they probably believed that once a year was enough.
More “Your personal hygiene is killing the planet” propaganda.
They call foul breath and body odor a false crisis. If you’ve been near a bad case of it, the crisis is not false.
The article says that Sweden is the only country where men shower more than women, but the accompanying graph shows U.S. men showering much more often than women; they shower “Once per day” less than women because they shower more than once per day more often.
Oh no. Please don’t tell me the next envirowacko idea is for people not to bathe.
no way do i believe 75% of the french shower once a day, no way...
