I'm a disabled veteran who never leaves my home with a shower upstairs. I am able to only truly bathe once a month, sometimes even longer. I hate not being able to clean myself. That said, most of this is worst case scenario. My only issue really is just the build up of dead skin. This is definitely geared for abled people. Please shower if you can when you can.

@@morgannaomi1231 I also have severe depression and I shower 1 a week and when you're having a really bad episode of depression you just don't care about your hygiene.
Having had very severe depression in the past, my self-care was put on hold for weeks at a time at points. Thankfully, none of that stuff ever happened to me except for the fact that no one could be around me because I smelled so bad.
You are not alone! My self care goes out the window, because sometimes I'm my last priority. I'll take sink baths, but I have gone without shampooing (and sometimes even brushing) my hair for months. I've had to chop off my hair three separate times, due to debilitating depression. Mental illness is no joke whatsoever.
As someone with depression, this is something I know too well. I want to shower but my depression has built a huge invisible wall between me and the shower and its just too much effort to try to get over that wall. I wish ppl would understand that Im not making excuses. Im mentally unable to do it.
@@nekoboygames7786 I absolutely understand. You are absolutely not alone. I can care for others but my self-care is trash. I haven't cared for myself in four months plus. I'm looked at as less than. Mental illness is a real situation. But it comes across as less than normal.
I sweat a lot. It's excessive due to a medical problem. I have to shower daily. Sometimes twice in Summer. I don't like feeling sticky. Especially before bed. Everyone's body has different needs when it comes to showering. There are people who would be just fine with skipping showers for a number of days.
While showering frequently/regularly is important, a lot of people who suffer from depression, sensory overload, etc. will hesitate to shower for a number of reasons. It might seem unbelievable to most people, but there are people out there who do go through this to some degree or another. And, sometimes, people just don't have access/the ability to bathe properly and/or regularly.
Agreed. I have an anxiety disorder, it's not that I don't want to shower, it's not that I don't like showering, I just don't want to get into the shower, get soaked and then have a panic attack in the shower. Sometimes I'm fine with it and it takes no thought at all, other times I'm sitting there contemplating for at least 20 minutes.

Powdering up with baking soda would have made it much more tolerable. It often makes my pimples fall off painlessly when I use baking soda. Also absorbs the oils.
My personal rule of thumb is showering once or twice a week and then wash the smelliest areas like groin, pits, etc. Just with a wash cloth. Saves a lot of water too and my hair thanks me for not stripping away the oils constantly

As someone with depression and a physical disability, I have experienced a few of these, but the longest I've ever gone without a shower is 2 and a half weeks.
i have depression and ADHD (which is tied to sensory overloads, which i have frequently) and it makes it very hard for me to take proper care of my body. i've only recently started showering multiple times a week as i used to only shower once a week. anyway, there was once a time where i went longer than a month during summertime without a single shower. in that time period, i got a urinary tract infection and a worm infection due to the lack of showering. it ended up getting so bad that my mom took the doorknob out of the bathroom and put it in the other way and she locked me in the bathroom until i took a shower. nowadays i take much better care of myself although i still struggle a lot with other stuff like brushing my teeth regularly which i especially need to fix because i can't go to a dentist because of usa healthcare. if you're taking good care of yourself, keep at it. once you stop taking care of your hygiene, it's hard to start taking care of yourself again.
Wow, I'm in that situation, but I haven't gotten an infection since I started using baking soda. Congrats on having better mental health. I don't have any caring people around me like your mom. They actually said that I'd "get serious when I'm on my own" like they planned to abandon me.
You are lucky you still have your mom around. My beloved mother passed away but I was always independent and took care of her and others to the point that I neglected myself. The longest I went without showering was a month and it was a pain. It was because I was stressed taking care of her and others that I neglected myself. I hope to live in my own one day and take care of myself only. Taking care of others is a pain, especially when they don’t appreciate it.
I spent 3 months in the hospital and they were giving me sponge baths. I still remember how gross I felt. You can’t clean every nook and cranny with a sponge bath..this was back in 2019 and I’ve been taking 3 showers a day ever since 😩
Before modern times people rarely bathed. One of the reasons behind King John is so hated and this is no joke was because he would dare to bathe 4 times a year and insisted that his clothes were washed.
Personally I bathe daily, but there are some times when I go a day or 2 without simply due to laziness. By day 2 I stink and I start to itch. By day 3 I itch all over and feel all grimy due to sweat and whatever that sweat has stuck to my body to the point that I can't sleep.
The longest I went was about a month thanks to my mental health tanking, thankfully I'm always home and not particularly active. I just felt gross so I managed to take a long shower
I was homeless living out of my car for three months and I had red painful rashes on my skin that looked and felt like sunburn. The first time I could pay for a hotel and some new clothes and a bottle of tequila I laid down on the back wall of the shower and just let the hot water spray me with my nasty clothes on while drinking the tequila for pain killer and gingivitis control( I wasn't brushing my teeth regularly either). I stripped off my nasty clothes and then re washed with soap 45 minutes later.
I have severe depression and showering is one of the things I never have energy to do. I know I'm disgusting and gross and need to, but every time I think about it or go try, I just..... Can't. I hate it.
I'm right there with you, boo. It's hard to make yourself a priority. I consider it a win, that I keep brushing my hair, although I haven't probably washed in months.
I get this sometimes too, brushing my teeth is another one. I have OCD as well, yet I just never have the energy to do these things unless it gets so bad.
Longest I’ve went without a shower is anywhere from 5-6 days. This is because I got Influenza A and I was too weak to take one, as I was dizzy, nauseous, and lightheaded, and it looked like the world was tipping over. I had a 103.3° fever.
A urinary tract infection can lead to death if left untreated. It can lead to a bladder infection and then it can spread up the ureters to the kidneys. In some cases, it can lead to septicemia which is life threatening. UTIs are a common cause of death among hospitals. I treat patients with UTIs and practicing good hygiene is extremely important.
Coming from the Caribbean... everyone here bathes at least 2x each day and we are disgusted by anything less Foreigners who migrate here usually struggle with this and one can usually tell because we sweat a lot here just on a daily basis. It's led to stereotypes that all Europeans smell bad 😂 Someone close to them would usually tell them in time though before the smell gets too out of hand
It honestly depends on the countrys climate. When its cold you hardly sweat and bathing 2x a day is a waste of time, energy and resources. If you've lived in a cold climate then you know what Im talking about..
Yeap most Europeans only shower once a day which is fine in winter but summer you need at least 2 a day. I hate the smell in the summer months body odour everywhere
I wonce knew a family that tested the limits of not showering on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Thank God I have never met anyone else who hated showering as much as they did. Just Saying.
Had my first shower today in over a year, feel quite refreshed after it. I actually once went without a shower for 3 years. From 2015 until September 2018.
I used to have a patient that developped a psychological issue that made him totally refuse any wash whatsoever. Other than that issue, he had no dementia or anything. We couldnt bathe him as he had his legal rights to refuse it. Even if he wouldnt be legally able to consent by himself, he was too strong and mentally here to be washed. We never understood what brought him to be afraid of showering or even basic daily cleansing. Hes still alive today, hes really old. He didnt shower for .... years probably. He doesnt seem to have any of those signs in the video, thank god!! Except a foul smell of course....
My later father was like that for the final years of his life. He refused to shower and became literate scared of water saying that it was cold. By the time he passed away, he most likely did not shower for years.
When ppl get depressed... showers become not as important anymore. When I went through a horrible period on my life I only showerd about 2x a week. It was super pathetic and when I did bathe I was in there around 8 hours on average! Frickin Crazy time in my life. I think there has to be other people who understand what I'm speaking about. Just letting yourself get pathetic and vulnerable.
Fun Fact: Sliced bread was first manufactured by machine and sold in the 1920s by the Chillicothe Baking Company in Missouri. It was the greatest thing since…unsliced bread?? Any other ideas?
I’ve actually learned a lot from watching you guys some useless information some useful I just like springing the info I learn here on people I know irl 🤞🏾
I guess we must have evolved (de-evolved) dramatically since the invention of the shower. Which we haven't. The gist of this is, you can reduce your chance of getting sick by bathing a few times a year.
Indeed. Man survived for many thousands of years before bathing was a common thing. (of course, we also lived out in the weather, and generally, didn't live all that long.)
While yes, showering is the most way effective in getting rid of filth in a timely manner. The concept of bathing and washing has been a thing as late as the 10th century (picture knights wearing pig skin boots because metal boots wasn’t a thing yet.) it was a nearly daily routine in any village to have its people wash and clean themselves at the nearest river before then washing clothes. And in other cases to the nearest bath tents where tub sized barrels where filled daily with water for cleaning use. (And if you were wealthy. These tubs would be filled with rose petals to give you a nice smell after.)
@@jfbeam who's to say people didn't bath in ancient times? actually it's very likely they used rivers, lakes etc. when possible instead of being unspeakably filthy all the time
In the end of the 30s and start of the 40s there was a boxer, Tony Galento, that would refrain from showering weeks before the fights, one of his opponents described his smell of expired liquor and rotten tuna, he was one of the weirdest boxers to ever live, i really recommend checking his wikipedia
I work at a hospital and I shower daily. I know a patient that never would shower,they claimed the water hurt them. The patient ended up dying from spehsis.
I went over a year without showering and none of this happened to me as long as I changed my underwear every so often and used deodorant daily. It actually made me stop having an odor. The worst things that happened was my skin got kinda dry and if I would get sweaty and rub my arms or legs grime would flake off. Kind of gross but not the worst thing I’ve been through.
Unless I'm sweating or smell from various reasons such as sweating from exercise or the weather, I tend to think twice a week is enough to wash, but I can bath/shower 2 times a day sometimes, or sometimes just twice a week lol
I live by the same philosophy. Unless I'm doing something that requires bathing before or afterwords (like a social thing, or finished working out, etc.), taking a shower everyday seems like excessive waste of water.
I believe the real harm come from not bad hygiene but from the toxic environment. I mean look animals in the nature don't bath, don't brush their teeth, but aren't they perfectly well?
I think it depends on the climate and daily activities. In the Philippines, Filipinos shower everyday because of the tropical climate which the average person gets sweaty always..
I loved this vid! I had almost succumbed to MRSA which I believe is a severe type of staph infection, almost got sepsis and still live my life very wary of what I put ON and IN my body. Best believe I was showering every day prior though, so that probably wasn’t the reason for my suffering, but loved y’all breakdown abt this!
not gonna lie when I was in middle school I never took a shower. I would only wet a rag down and wipe my pits and call it good, maybe on a good day I'd throw on deodorant (luckily I never was an incredibly stinky kid i think)
I remember when i was a kid my older brother stopped showering unbeknownst to my parents and he ended up with scabies and after that he was all for the shower lol
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj I just started to smell, itch a little more because my hair was so dry, ever time I got wet from something I would whip it off my clothes then dry it off by fanning it, and I could clean my toilet because my last 🪠 broke so you know "Dirt" started to grow on it and again I just dried off what ever got me wet.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj took a shower when it got to hot one day so yeah nothing really happens you just smell even when you walk you can smell yourself sometimes and that really stinks 🦨😩
@@Danielspremiumhub Thanks for sharing and I kind of know how it is since my late dad did not shower for like a year too. He was just lazy and depressed as he got very sick. He was just smelly and lots of dry skin flakes fell off his body. His skin did get messed up too. But it was also due to his bad health not just due to not showering.
Maybe it’s because I was taught to be hygienic, but it does seem strange and bothersome that people would want to reject showers and baths. I don’t agree with doing either every day of the week or twice a day, but you really should consider washing your skin at least once a week. Your skin will dry out and you will look and smell like that Iranian guy who hasn’t bathed in several years.
When I first heard of a STAPH infection as a kid, I thought you got it from the STAFF in HOSPITALS (doctors and nurses and other workers there) and it was called a STAFF INFECTION.

They don't notice as it's not that bad. I did 1000 days and no one at work said anything, and we have plenty of "Karens"
Many don’t notice unless you smell very bad.
A urinary tract infection can lead to death if left untreated. It can lead to a bladder infection and then it can spread up the ureters to the kidneys. In some cases, it can lead to septicemia which is life threatening. UTIs are a common cause of death among hospitals. I treat patients with UTIs and practicing good hygiene is extremely important.
Coming from the Caribbean... everyone here bathes at least 2x each day and we are disgusted by anything less
Foreigners who migrate here usually struggle with this and one can usually tell because we sweat a lot here just on a daily basis. It's led to stereotypes that all Europeans smell bad 😂
Someone close to them would usually tell them in time though before the smell gets too out of hand
It honestly depends on the countrys climate. When its cold you hardly sweat and bathing 2x a day is a waste of time, energy and resources.
If you've lived in a cold climate then you know what Im talking about..
Yeap most Europeans only shower once a day which is fine in winter but summer you need at least 2 a day. I hate the smell in the summer months body odour everywhere
As a Dominican I can verify this is 100% it. 2 showers a day is standard.
Same for me I'm from Togo West Africa but I'm a U.S. citizen my parents here and there joke on how Americans don't take enough showers.
I'm from the UK and have a shower twice a day lol
The music is just, the highlight of this video. So GROOVY
I wonce knew a family that tested the limits of not showering on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Thank God I have never met anyone else who hated showering as much as they did. Just Saying.
Hahahaha thank you for your comment. You made me laugh out loud! 😂
I see nothing wrong with showering. Just don’t do it so often and you will be fine.
A doctor told someone I know to go wash up before he delivered her baby. She didn't like to take a bath.
Had my first shower today in over a year, feel quite refreshed after it. I actually once went without a shower for 3 years. From 2015 until September 2018.
...
@@ogueyratogeyrat7448 I shower regularly again now :)
That’s actually nasty bro wth
I used to have a patient that developped a psychological issue that made him totally refuse any wash whatsoever. Other than that issue, he had no dementia or anything. We couldnt bathe him as he had his legal rights to refuse it. Even if he wouldnt be legally able to consent by himself, he was too strong and mentally here to be washed. We never understood what brought him to be afraid of showering or even basic daily cleansing. Hes still alive today, hes really old. He didnt shower for .... years probably. He doesnt seem to have any of those signs in the video, thank god!! Except a foul smell of course....
My later father was like that for the final years of his life. He refused to shower and became literate scared of water saying that it was cold. By the time he passed away, he most likely did not shower for years.
Funny how this was uploaded the day I decide to skip showering for a night which I rarely do.
I've got an uncle that just gave up showering, he smells so bad that we can smell him from other rooms on the house
Just got done seeing the story of the Turpin family. Wonder if some of this happened to them.
Right. She did say that they hadn't got to take a bath in almost a year. Dam that story is so sad! I think that's how i got the recommendation too.
Yes I just saw their story too. It was so sad and glad they escaped but heart they are still struggling to make it. Such a tragedy.
When ppl get depressed... showers become not as important anymore. When I went through a horrible period on my life I only showerd about 2x a week. It was super pathetic and when I did bathe I was in there around 8 hours on average! Frickin Crazy time in my life. I think there has to be other people who understand what I'm speaking about. Just letting yourself get pathetic and vulnerable.
Showering twice a week is not bad. I think that is pretty clean as others have gone for way longer with no shower.
Fun Fact: Sliced bread was first manufactured by machine and sold in the 1920s by the Chillicothe Baking Company in Missouri. It was the greatest thing since…unsliced bread?? Any other ideas?
Fun fact everything think in the video is a lie I haven't shower in a year because of Covid 19 😑
Fun fact. These bots are f**king annoying
@@xXxIVendettaIxXx same with the dislike button being gone

Someone look that up
I’ve actually learned a lot from watching you guys some useless information some useful I just like springing the info I learn here on people I know irl 🤞🏾
I guess we must have evolved (de-evolved) dramatically since the invention of the shower. Which we haven't. The gist of this is, you can reduce your chance of getting sick by bathing a few times a year.
Indeed. Man survived for many thousands of years before bathing was a common thing. (of course, we also lived out in the weather, and generally, didn't live all that long.)
If you love somewhere cold and don't do very much or sweat you can get away with long period of time before showering 😂
While yes, showering is the most way effective in getting rid of filth in a timely manner. The concept of bathing and washing has been a thing as late as the 10th century (picture knights wearing pig skin boots because metal boots wasn’t a thing yet.) it was a nearly daily routine in any village to have its people wash and clean themselves at the nearest river before then washing clothes. And in other cases to the nearest bath tents where tub sized barrels where filled daily with water for cleaning use. (And if you were wealthy. These tubs would be filled with rose petals to give you a nice smell after.)
@@jfbeam who's to say people didn't bath in ancient times? actually it's very likely they used rivers, lakes etc. when possible instead of being unspeakably filthy all the time
A lot of people in North Korea don’t shower at all until New Year’s Day.
Couldn't handle more than a month way back.
Not that I wanted to but sometimes life happens
These guys always got the most information each video.
Currently watching this with my parents
Tell them I said hi
Thank you for all the videos and information you give in details it's very helpful
Props to the guy who didn’t shower for years and still hasn’t
This is something good to send to someone with depression
In the end of the 30s and start of the 40s there was a boxer, Tony Galento, that would refrain from showering weeks before the fights, one of his opponents described his smell of expired liquor and rotten tuna, he was one of the weirdest boxers to ever live, i really recommend checking his wikipedia
I read about him a while ago. Interesting fight strategy.🤢
Maybe he wanted to scare his opponents with his bad smell.
This channel is amazing it teaches us about interesting things
I remember back in basic training we had to basically throw a guy in the shower who decided to go a week without a shower
This is all new information to me, I really enjoyed this video
In Brazil, we usually take AT LEAST one bath per day. You feel freshier, cleaner and happier with more showers!
No, that actually isn't good for your skin. I understand why people need a shower everyday, when they're living in hot places though.
I work at a hospital and I shower daily. I know a patient that never would shower,they claimed the water hurt them. The patient ended up dying from spehsis.
I went over a year without showering and none of this happened to me as long as I changed my underwear every so often and used deodorant daily. It actually made me stop having an odor. The worst things that happened was my skin got kinda dry and if I would get sweaty and rub my arms or legs grime would flake off. Kind of gross but not the worst thing I’ve been through.
Eww.
Why did you go so long?
*inside thoughts*
man they just let anybody on youtube don't they?!
Love this channel. Interesting material
Unless I'm sweating or smell from various reasons such as sweating from exercise or the weather, I tend to think twice a week is enough to wash, but I can bath/shower 2 times a day sometimes, or sometimes just twice a week lol
I live by the same philosophy. Unless I'm doing something that requires bathing before or afterwords (like a social thing, or finished working out, etc.), taking a shower everyday seems like excessive waste of water.
Ew
@@ChooseYourYTHandle lol! cheeky
I love the information in this video!
All you have to do is ask someone at an anime convention...
Or a smash bros tournament
@@the-weirdist stereotype for a reason tho
@@the-weirdist I said nothing about Asians
Shoutout to the cheerful music while talking about skin infections, diseases and deaths 🤣🤣
That background music is pretty annoying.
Yup lol like hear the lyrics not the music come on infographics
I have one of the most physical jobs there is. I shower 2 times a day. My wife is a every other day type and it grosses me out so bad.
I believe the real harm come from not bad hygiene but from the toxic environment. I mean look animals in the nature don't bath, don't brush their teeth, but aren't they perfectly well?
Animals do bathe and/or groom themselves though
There is difference. Animals don't go to school, job etc. Does that mean we shouldn't too.
@@savage101. Not all of them do it or can do it properly like we do. But none of them brush their teeth.
I think it depends on the climate and daily activities. In the Philippines, Filipinos shower everyday because of the tropical climate which the average person gets sweaty always..
So in life you can't be a total slob or a total clean freak you just have to find a way to balance both form of life.
I loved this vid! I had almost succumbed to MRSA which I believe is a severe type of staph infection, almost got sepsis and still live my life very wary of what I put ON and IN my body. Best believe I was showering every day prior though, so that probably wasn’t the reason for my suffering, but loved y’all breakdown abt this!
Some mentally disabled or ill and elderly are probably more likely to not bathe or shower...
I have adhd an I have a hard time remembering to shower. Thank you for scaring me cause I’ll remember this and shower more often
Am I the only one who remembers that guy who hasn’t showed in 70 years, he’s still alive and still hasn’t showed yet
I know guys who don't show for atleast a year and they are more powerful and healthy than even some atheletes.
Yeah, and there are rare sightings of him, I can't recall his name, oh yeah Bigfoot! That's it!
Aged like milk, he died
My record is about a month and a half. Not by choice, I was in Iraq and essentially cut off. Seriously gross, would never deal with it again
Smell is temporary Bad health is eternal
I got recommended this right before I took a shower
not gonna lie when I was in middle school I never took a shower. I would only wet a rag down and wipe my pits and call it good, maybe on a good day I'd throw on deodorant (luckily I never was an incredibly stinky kid i think)
The spider webs in the shower took me out.
i went an entire year without bathing. the human body is very durable.
@@the-weirdist Yet you're here replying?
Why did u stop bathing?
Personally I've gone 11 months but I use wet wipes because I'm a fall hazard and my tub too small
@@acecogburn7006 sounds like you need to put the spoon and fork down
Showering or bathing? Not bathing for a year is understandable. Not showering though...
Sitting in detention and this is a good remedy to boredom
I just got out of the shower when this came out. What a surprise.
@@the-weirdist I got out the shower when the notification came out for this video.
i still only shower once a year at christmas whether i need one or not
I remember when i was a kid my older brother stopped showering unbeknownst to my parents and he ended up with scabies and after that he was all for the shower lol
I get all the way to the 9:18 mark just to realize... WHY AM I WATCHING THIS!?!? 🤣
You forgot one more thing. If you don't shower for a long time, you'll become a Smash Bros. Player.
😆😆😆
Longest I’ve gone is..17 days. At that point you don’t even smell yourself or others
This is a lie I haven't shower in a year before because of Covid 19 I stayed inside and haven't 🚿
Can you shared what happened to you?
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj I just started to smell, itch a little more because my hair was so dry, ever time I got wet from something I would whip it off my clothes then dry it off by fanning it, and I could clean my toilet because my last 🪠 broke so you know "Dirt" started to grow on it and again I just dried off what ever got me wet.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj took a shower when it got to hot one day so yeah nothing really happens you just smell even when you walk you can smell yourself sometimes and that really stinks 🦨😩
@@Danielspremiumhub Thanks for sharing and I kind of know how it is since my late dad did not shower for like a year too. He was just lazy and depressed as he got very sick. He was just smelly and lots of dry skin flakes fell off his body. His skin did get messed up too. But it was also due to his bad health not just due to not showering.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj so it is genetics
Maybe it’s because I was taught to be hygienic, but it does seem strange and bothersome that people would want to reject showers and baths. I don’t agree with doing either every day of the week or twice a day, but you really should consider washing your skin at least once a week. Your skin will dry out and you will look and smell like that Iranian guy who hasn’t bathed in several years.
When I first heard of a STAPH infection as a kid, I thought you got it from the STAFF in HOSPITALS (doctors and nurses and other workers there) and it was called a STAFF INFECTION.
@@the-weirdist yet you reply... So clearly you care
This is definitely worst case. I went 2 months without a shower once due to depression and I only smelled abit and had dandruff.
Shower once a month for a stronger immune system.
Props to the narrator for having to go through this just to inform us..
