You know bathing and junk washing aren't exclusively modern phenomena, right?

[(Anonymous)]

Generally people take way fewer baths though. Hell, even in modern time when camping/hiking you will take a lot less baths (or just take a "bath" with a wet rag).

[(Anonymous)]

Yup, this. ^

Well, to be fair, Westerners today take WAY TOO MANY baths. The idea of bathing everyday is kind of crazy and absolutely terrible for your skin and hair. Shampooing daily is a relatively extremely recent phenomenon.

It's not really that premodern people had terrible hygiene habits, it's just that we're at the other extreme now.

This.

Let your body get used to its own general odor and oils. You don't have to smell like a pile of rotting vegetables but you definitely don't need to wash as much as we're led to believe (unless you sweat like crazy or play in the dirt, etc).

My skin isn't all fucked up from bathing every day or every other day. Why do people say that? It's fine, just dry from all the fucking AC we had to run.

"bathing everyday is kind of crazy and absolutely terrible for your skin and hair"

Come on. It might not be absolutely necessary, but saying it's absolutely terrible is an exaggeration. Many, many people bathe daily and their hair and skin are just fine, myself included.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT--I dunno about skin, but if you look at the average length of women's hair up through 1880 or so, they could grow their hair a lot longer than most people manage today. Of course, the stuff they washed their hair with was often a lot harsher than what we use today; washing daily with it would've fucked up their hair (and probably skin) big time.

The science literally says otherwise. It's not only unnecessary, it can be unhealthy or negative for your body. Not to mention an incredibly wasteful use of water and energy.

cool

still better than being stinky

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, OP also said post-apocalypse and I have seen a lot of stories related to that where people aren't bathing.

[(Anonymous)]

You know that even though people bathed and washed their junk in the old days, it wasn't necessarily up to modern standards of hygiene, right?
