Out of sheer determined laziness, I once went the entire summer holiday without showering (something like 6 weeks) back when I was 16.

When i was in a summer camp for 2 weeks me and a couple of friends made a pact to not shower the whole period. We had a couple of food fights and i tel you it is hard to get an egg out of your hair after a week.

Well back in my non-showering days...

I don't know about 4 or 5 months.

It could be a year though. I just don't know.

Haven't had a bath in about 15 years now, unless swimming counts as bathing. Bathtubs are suprisingly uncommon in Finland, I have noticed. Even if you have one you mostly use it for standing in when showering.

Mind you I shower every second day.

Ionly perform any kind of hygiene beyond changing clothes occasionally and of course wiping after the bathroom when I have to Interact with humanity or go to work, I don't count customer's as part of humanity and if you had to put up with them neither would you. That said I do occasionally feel compelled to wash my hands if they start to fell a bit grotty from whatever greasy crap I have been eating

4 days at Boy Scout camp after a tornado hit us and wiped out the showers. They were back up on Thursday.

Approximately 4 days. During a backpacking trip out in the mountains. That's right, to keep me from performing regular hygiene, I have to be literally too far from any facilities to use them. I'm not OCD, but at home I go at most a full 36 hours (roughly) without taking a shower. I just don't like being unwashed. (now that I think about it, that 4 days record is tied with the time I went to the Galapagos Islands; as it turns out, showering on a boat is a *****, and often less comfortable than the alternative. We aren't talking cruise ship here, I mean 150-foot long boat, with upper limit capacity of about 16 people).

I would say Showering counts as "bathing" since very few people actually take the time to bathe in the traditional sense anymore. If you literally count taking a bath as the ONLY form of bathing, then I've gone for about 10 years now without bathing. Not because bathtubs are uncommon (I own one) but because I dislike baths personally in preference of showers.

I can also tell you that I have dreads, which means I can only wash my hair a few times a month. Feel free to vomit.
There's ways around that. In high school I had a friend who used Elmer's Glue to style his hair (seriously). It's water-soluble, so he can't wash it; typically he just covered his hair with plastic (shower cap) when showering (or so he says; he didn't stink though). He often went with the same hair style for a couple months, usually changing it when our administration started bitching at him (one styling was a pair of massive horns, devil style, which he had to use wires to maintain in addition to the glue).

Sorry but I'm inclined to agree with the Moza444. Trolling is not my intention if I come accross that way. Surely you must have something more intelligent to raise coversation about...

Two weeks when I was at this camp without running water or electricity. I never felt so awful.

1 week because of Final Fantasy 7. Yes, I was a fanboy at the time. 9 almost made it for 1 week, but I've trained so much that the final dungeon was a breeze...Until the last boss...
