QOTD - 7.12.2011

What's the longest you've ever gone without having a shower?

 


Re: QOTD - 7.12.2011

  • 2 days... anything longer i feel gross
  • 6 days while hiking in Yosemite.  The shower after a long backcountry hike is pretty much the most amazing shower ever. 

  • I think it was four days (over a long weekend from work) and I don't even think there was a good reason for it (like Juli's hiking).  I'm gross. 
  • I think 4 days. It was during a camping trip out west in high school.
  • I think two or three days.  I don't really remember.
  • 4 days - had a survival camp that did during hs

    Three-day backpacking trip in high school, so it was actually the fourth day by the time I was home and got a shower. Gross.

  • 3 days? Sometimes if I'm sitting around home, I don't shower. My excuse is that I'm letting my natural oils soak into my skin bahahahah :)

  • Three days....went on a camping trip with DH when we were dating to a rustic site.  Never again....yuck.  Peeing on the ground and not showering are just not for me.

  • Four days for me.....I was really really sick and didn't get out of bed at all for a few days.  That was an Amazing feeling shower though I still didn't feel well. 
  • A month?   But wait, before you ae totally grossed out:

     When I was in college I rented a house that only had a bathtub (no shower, no capibility of doing the shower add on at that time).  So, for about 15 months, I bathed.  And when I would visit my parents about once a month, I loved the heck out of their shower.

  • 3-4 days after my c-section with Amelia. I had super low blood pressure - like 70/38 or something crazy like that. I had that with Allison, so I wasn't worried about it, although I would freak out the nurses if they weren't warned about it ahead of time. I was also a bit anemic. I was afraid that a hot shower might cause me to pass out and I really really wanted to be released a day early, so I didn't want to take the risk. I had packed face wash clothes and would clean myself up that way.  

    I had her on a Monday morning and was release Wed night.  I think I waited the next day to take a shower because by the time we got home Wed night, it was Allison's bed time.
