Your comment is important. Many people from tropical climates think that people who don’t take many showers a day are unhygienic. Just as many people from colder climates think that people who shower a lot are crazy.

I live in a mountain town, and I still shower every day when I get home from work. I am an electrician and tend to get pretty dirty throughout the day, and at minimum need to clean my feet so my boots don’t develop stank. I may forgo a shower on Sunday if I’ve spent the day on the couch or being lazy around the house, but if I’ve had any form of physical activity, shower.

Pretty much. I’m in Texas. During the winter, every two or three days is fine. As long as I’m not doing anything to get dirty, it just isn’t needed. Excess showers will just dry my skin out, and washing my hands/feet/face is enough for daily maintenance.

But during the summer, all bets are off. Shower in the morning because the AC in apartments struggles to keep the bedroom cool and I woke up in a pool of sweat. Then sweat heavily on the way to the car, at lunch, on the way home from work, and again when taking the dog for a walk. Of course I need another shower by bedtime.

I think it is the same across all of Germany. I think it might be similar for most of Northern Europe if I had to guess.

It mainly depends on the season. Southern Germany may have more sun hours and slightly warmer climate, but not enough to take effect on the showering schedule. Some people shower every day nevermind the weather, but I would say every 2-3 days is standard. In summer or after workout it may be everyday or even twice, but nothing comparable to brazilian climate. Of course people have jobs where they get dirty, but that’s another topic.

Finally, an educated person.

I shower every other day - four times a week.

Goteeeeem

I’ll only shower in the evening if I’ve got a haircut or I’ve shaved my pubes off.

You can edit titles on Lemmy too fyi

The exception being if you sweat a lot or have a dirty job of course

the latter

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.

Not the person you are responding to, but here in the US, we typically don’t take baths and instead shower. I usually only take a bath if I am sick and want to soak in warm water to relax.

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?

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.

Not Brazil but my brother lived in a similar climate and showered before work, at lunch (everyone went home at lunch most days), and before bed.

He also had a massive stack of undergarments which included white t-shirts. He would sometimes change shirts more than he showered. For context he had to wear office attire but could wear Bermuda shorts.

Further context, we are swarthy Canadians that sweat when we eat a sandwich but he’s was really thin/fit at the time. Still sweaty.

That’s not common, no. 1 per day is the bare minimum, though, and 2 per day during the work week is usual.

In the US, we do all that in the shower.

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.
