Do you care less about being clean due to your solitary lifestyle? How often do you shower/bathe and how much do you generally care about being hygienic?

What's the longest you've gone without showering or bathing since becoming a hikikomori/neet/shut-in/otaku ect?

Every second day if i'm not doing anything physical but if i've been to the gym i will shower.

Bathing feels so good, why would you want to deny yourself the pleasure?

I take a bath everyday to relax me. Usually shower every few days. I wouldn't say that I've become less hygienic. I used to wash my hair twice a day, but that was back when I went to school and a manifestation of my OCD was to shower in response to that. Really, it wasn't very good for my skin or hair to do it so frequently. Now that I don't go out as much, I don't feel the need to clean myself compulsively.

Longest I've gone without showering or bathing? I have no idea. I really do take baths every day. Maybe I've gone a few days in a row without taking one when I've been sick?

I never leave the house to go somewhere without a shower except if its like Walmart where I know its fairly empty and I know no one is there.

I try to shower at least every other day but some days I dont leave bed so I dont shower. I hate feeling dirty but sometimes I cant get enough energy to shower. I occasionally shower daily or twice daily. On days I dont have time to shower and need to be somewhere fast I just clean myself a bit with a wet towel.

Ive gone like .... i probably shouldnt even say how long ive gone without before. >_>

I shower every day, not because I go out, but because if I don't, I feel absolutely terrible the next day. If I don't have the energy, I take care to at least wash my hair, most of the time.

I basically stopped shaving though, and I don't have the motivation to go to barber's, so I look like Robinson Crusoe. Or a typical hikki. Doesn't improve my image in public, probably.

I am a clean freak. I can't stand being dirty so I shower once a day and wash my hands a dozen of times in a single days.

I also shower everyday cos it feels good being clean and it kinda feels like the water washes away my problems (though it doesn't). Longest without shower is 3 days, don't remember when and don't remember the reason but that was the only time.

Try keeping brushing your teeth up. I got a few cavities from missing a dental cleaning at the dentist and from missing brushing sometimes.

D: I'm pretty sure I have cavities, mostly because I love to snack on chocolate ... It doesn't ever stop me from eating them though lol.

The theobromine in cocoa that chocolate is made from actually strengthens enamel. The sugar sticks to your teeth too so that is countrproductive though. If its high cocoa content chocolate or sugar free (using ethytol instead) then youre fine.

Im going to buy some theobromine toothpaste some time because I dont like using fluoride. I read some places that some people think fluoride is linked to depression. Theobromine is actually bitter tasting so it usually has to be sweetened with ethytol or xylotol (ethytol being the better one).

I'm filthy by normie standards and I'll leave it at that I suppose. This thread is surprisingly not hikki-like. Ya'll are some real clean freaks. I find it physically unpleasant and very tiring to bathe, not to mention I get very dizzy easily. Almost every time I go, I spend hours there, and from those hours at least one is just sleep. So yeah I don't go often, and when I do, it takes long and I get shouted at for occupying the bathroom for entire evening. I do wash hands a lot though. That matters to me. And I try to keep my teeth fairly clean because unfathomable amounts were already spend to fix everything and lots of time wasted.
I don't really care if other people care because I don't care for them. I'm socially an empty place and don't have anyone against whom I'd genuinely want to look at my best, so...

I some time ago found out some cultures dont bathe in water. They do something called a smoke bath.

I never did this. I use nanohydroxyapetite tooth gel these days. It's been used in Japan for a long time not sure why it's not more widespread in the West just brands you can find online use it.
