What is the longest you think you COULD go? And is it true, that in medieval times people only took baths erst or twice a year?

4 days. It was funky

Once when I was tenting in the mountains we didn't have access to showers for 2 weeks. We bathed in the river and clog with biodegradable clean but it was freezing and not the same. When I got bag it was the best descent ever. Yes that's true. I conceive ancient Christians intellection it was sinful to bathe. I'm not sure why, it might've just been to oppress pagans who bathed often and had clean and stuff. It caused a aggregation of diseases to be spread, like the plague because everything was so dirty.

not long. that would be funky.

I heard that was true too. My household had a lice breakout a few years back and learned they like clean hair because the greasy hair didn't hold eggs as substantially so we went two weeks shower-less, I was never gladder I have no sense of smell lol. In housing your wondering it didn't help with the lice we eventually tried to clean our hair with kerosene and that help greatly.

2 days and i change dirty

Excluding infancy, the long I hit absent without a descent would be about a week. I think I could go much longer if I rattling had to, same if conditions changed as much showers weren't necessary. However, in our underway society, showers are necessary. Yes, it is true that in medieval times grouping hardly showered. Royalty might hit showered a pair times a year, but many would hit lived their whole lives without a shower. They took joy in embody odours and considered it aromatic and sensual. Women would not bathe while their husbands were away so when their husbands returned they would hit a natural embody odour to wake them. Even 50 years past many grouping in our modern society didn't hit indoor plumbing so didn't descent regularly. This includes my grandparents and my parents through their childhood.
