Showering every day is not good for most people's skin and is indeed pretty drat wasteful. The only time of the year I take daily showers is when it's blazing hot and I feel dirty/sticky after spending half a day outside.

This. As an American living in Germany for the past two years, you get used to it pretty quickly. The weather here is generally much different than what you'd get in the US (much less hot, much less muggy, even in the deepest days of summer) and you just tend to sweat less in general. Only in the summer months do I really shower daily, unless I've gone to the gym.

It's the SHOWER INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX that shames you into showering four times a day to RID YOURSELF OF YOUR FILTHY SELF. Unless you are a stinkin-rear end motherfucker, you really don't need it.

I doubt people with medical BO problems would be helped by showering daily anyway since the stink is coming from the inside.

My old rental place had pipes that backed up after being clogged with grease. Every time the neighbours upstairs did anything with water, their pipes would drain into ours, and the water would fill our kitchen sink, sometimes overflowing and chunks of old, old, old dark solid grease would come out with it. I'm pretty sure I know what this smells like. It's really horrible :barf:

In my old apartment, it was set up like a 2x2 square. The two upstairs apartments and the one next to mine all had their kitchens drain down into the same pipe. My pipe was the lowest in the setup. All 3 of my surrounding neighbors were from India, and all of them flushed their food down the sink when they were done. Every 2 weeks almost like clockwork, a horrific mess of curry and death would back in to my sink. Even after the neighbors were threatened with eviction, they kept shoving that poo poo down the drain instead of in to the trash. That smell is a smell you can never, ever forget.

I don't know how smelly you are on a daily basis, but when you have a desk job and live in a cold climate, taking a shower every day is pointless. I take mine every other day, unless I'm feeling gross or have something social coming up.

There's no advantage unless you're supremely lazy, in Finland those things were voted the most worthless product of 2011. 2012 was battery-operated soap dispensers and 2013 scented garbage bags.

Counterpoint: your hair gets nasty oily because you wash it everyday, probably with a harsh soap or shampoo in a misguided effort to really get the greasiness out.

Alternatively, buy a cheap hair trimmer and go 3mm all over. So much easier :v:

Counter-Counter point. Having had long hair and now rocking a buzzcut my hair gets greasy as hell either way. Some people just have oily skin. It's crazy how not every person is a dried out husk.

I shower daily, but only because I know I'd start smelling if I didn't. I'm really lazy so I'm jealous of all the people who can go days without showering.
