Sup /fit/,

I'm curious to know everybody's hygiene habits, specifically when it comes to teeth and showers. I want to see if everyone really does it as regularly as you should.

I brush my teeth typically once a day, but I forget alot. Now I've got the cavities to show for it. :/

I usually only end up showering once a week. Maybe it's because I don't go out that much, but I don't find I need one more often than that.

What about you?

Eww. Dude I'm pretty sedentary but I try to shower every other day at least.

shower every night and if I run at 6am, in the morning, too

teeth brushed before breakfast (to kill bacteria that accumulated in my mouth at night before I swallow them during breakfast and get sick), after breakfast, and before I go to bed

floss before bed

I bathe everyday but I sometimes forget to brush my teeth at night and it feels horrible in the morning. It's like I have a hairy, shitbit-sprinkled ass in my mouth.

Do you have alot of body hair?

Cause I'd figure that smell is more obvious if you're like a giant walking sponge.

That's scary, I haven't brushed my teeth much at all for the past few years.

I have wisdom teeth coming in in the back too, although nothing in my mouth hurts. I don't want some guy cutting into my mouth ;_;

Shower everyday-its a must or I fell greasy as heck.

Brush teeth 0-2 times a day depending on how lazy I feel and mouth wash too.

I also wash my ass after a shit, but thats more a religious thing.

I only just had my first trip to the dentist a few weeks ago, and I'm 21. I have to get one tooth pulled out and one filled, but other than that he says my teeth are in good shape.

I hadn't brushed my teeth for years and had my first dentist appointment in a decade.

He said I have like ten cavities. :<

That said, I drink a shitload of pop.

Here's my routine, in order of frequency per week.

** Wash face twice a day.
** Brush my teeth and tongue twice a day.
** Shave once a day (though less frequently when I don't have work commitments).
** Shower and wash hair once every two days.
** Shave balls and trim pubes once every three days.
** Pluck eyebrows once a week.

Shower once or twice a day (twice if I go to the rec center) and brush my teeth twice a day.

Following on from that, I also gargle salty water to clean my mouth. Before I go out I check for bogies up my nose. I also put moisturising drops in my eyes to get rid of blood shotness. You'd be surprised at how much that last one improves appearance.

Using eyedrops is actually unhealthy for your eyes...my cousin is an ophthalmologist and said that they discourage people from using them because eyedrops raise the pressure in your eyes, which is not good.

I never knew about that. I'll have to ask my optician. Either way I'm willing to put up with the risk for now because it makes my eyes look brighter.

Our shower is broke so I just wash myself daily, I get a bath every 2 days though. I brush my teeth every morning too. That's all really.

I used to shower everyday until our shower became unusable.

I need to floss more so my gums don't bleed.

Shower almost every day after fapping or before going somewhere...at max. 1 per day.

Brushing teeth? EVERYTIME before going to sleep, and the rest of the day...If I feel like it.

I use handcreme...pluck my eyebrows, shave my pubic hair, arm pits...

Please tell me that you're a girl.

I brush my teeth twice a day (of course; anybody who doesn't do this is both dirty as fuck, and a god damned moron), and I shower once a day (after my morning workout).

I cut my fingernails every Sunday, and my toenails every second Sunday. I clean my ears with Q-tips after every shower, and I use paper to clean the rest of my ears after having taken a shower. I shave every morning. I've never in my life shaved anything other than my face.

Brush twice a day, no exceptions.
Shower twice, once in the morning and before I hit the sack.
I typically drink alot of water at night, because I usually forget to during the day, don't want my complexion getting too bad.

I brush my teeth at least 3 times a day. I enjoy looking at my teeth when they are white.

But I don't take showers often. Only about every 4 - 5 days. I wash my armpits with soap daily, but that's it.

I shower once a day, and put on fucktons of deodorant after.

If I don't shower for a period over 36 hours, I start to feel greasy and ugly. I usually shower more than once a day though, I fucking love showering.

I shower daily, but brush very infrequently. Frankly, once a week would be more than I usually do. I don't have too many cavities, though. I guess I'm just lucky. I really should get into a better routine about that.

Why are you putting your mouth on someones armpit?

Please don't shave your armpits and chest, guys. It's what, in my opinion, makes a man most attractive. I'm not talking gorilla hair on every inch if your body but hair is definitely sexy. Stubble and a beard can be incredibly sexy done right, too.

Shower: Every other day. Exceptions are possible, like summer/sports/party.
Teeth: 2 times a day, once in the morning after breakfast and once just before going to bed.

I shower whenever I leave the house to go out for the night or to see friends which is usually 2-4 days. I'm fairly confident if I didn't I wouldn't smell though. I'm fairly odourless and I don't have any body hair so the smell has nothing to stick to.

I clean my teeth once or twice a day if I can remember but it's not unusual to go a couple of days without. My teeth are practically perfect though despite this. I don't know why. Just sometimes a little yellow from cigarettes. I always carry chewing gum for my breath.

Brush teeth and tongue daily, most emphasis on the tongue because that shit is nasty.
Using our shower is a painful ordeal because it either has no hot water at all or its a flaming lava assault, so I tend to shower only every three days and wash up at the sink the other two.
Use a beard trimmer on my beard and pubes every day, and shave my shoulders too.
Face gets an arbitrary wash of hot water once daily.

/fit/ already has noticable demographics. The people who are fit and take care of their appearance; the people who are fat and or ugly and want to get better; and the people who scoff at the idea of people improving their appearance.

This thread has all three.

Alright, I shave irregularly, shower every second day. Wash my hair maybe twice a week, too much washing makes it greasier.
Brush my teeth almost every day, sometimes I skip it though, if it's a long time since I ate something.
I don't shave pubes or armpits, I do trim pubes though.
Cut nails regularly as well.
I sometimes use facial scrub as well, to keep my face clean.
Only thing I might improve is brushing my teeth more often, but since I never drink and soda, and almost never eat any candy, it's not a bid deal. I stay away from refined sugar in general.

Yeah, I dont have too many problems with my teeth in general. I quit smoking, never really even had a taste for sweets or soda, and only rarely drink coffee. I just have to remember to wear my retainers more often since one of my incisors is starting to shift.

god you guys are gross.

and yes, some people don't need to shower daily, OP, but most men do (my boyfriend doesn't and he smells fine but that's only because he's almost entirely sedentary. I can't stand it if he's gone two days without showering though).

As for teeth brushing--brush your goddamned teeth! I can smell it when people haven't, especially if its been a while. And for some reason I know a load of people who don't brush, and I want to murder each of them.

as for me... shower at least once a day, sometimes twice (a long time ago 3 times, lol). Brush teeth twice, floss daily, and generally I go over my teeth once with toothpaste and once without to get rid of residue (so technically I guess that's four times a day for you really unclean people). Problem is I'm wondering what paste to use at this point because all the ones that make my breath feel really fresh are whitening pastes, and my teeth are already whiter than the whites of my eyes.

Brush teeth twice a day on weekdays (morning and night) and only at night on weekends (unless I go out, then the same rules apply as if it were a weekday)

Shower every single fucking day, no exceptions. I have long hair, but I also have curls so I look like a mess if I don't shower. I use shampoo and conditioner every other day though to avoid drying out my scalp. Conditioner

the people which are only once a week in the shower are probably /b/tard which never leave their basement anyway, so I dont mind, but you should brush your teeth daily, dont forget you need them some 50 years and those fucking artifcial teeth are digusting, dirty and they will make you insane (you have the feeling you loosing them all the time)

How can people only shower on occasion?

My hair gets all oily and dingy if I go more than 2 days without a shower, it bothers me so bad. I could care less about odor.

Let's see, I shower about every two days because I bleach my hair and it dries out too much if I shower more than that. However, I make exceptions for 'that time of the month' because I feel fucking nasty the whole time and have to shower every day. I wash my face every day and shave every time I take a shower (because shaving legs in the sink is a pain in the ass and I'd just rather do it in the shower). I pluck my eyebrows whenever I notice little hairs starting to grow, though sometimes I like to pay that $8 to get them waxed at a salon.

I brush my teeth every morning, but if I'm seeing someone at the time, I brush my teeth after almost every meal. I find it disgusting to make out with food particles stuck to your teeth and tongue. I've never had a cavity, so that makes me feel pretty good about my teeth. But I really do need to floss more regularly because my gums bleed like crazy when I go to the dentist and he yells at me for it.

brush teeth in the morning and night before bed

shower before bed.... to all those that dont shower every day... why not? I feel grimy if I don't, plus going to bed dirty and basically over time ending up sleeping in your own filth does not sound appealing in the least.
>> Anonymous
I shower once per day, right after I get up.
I brush my teeth at least once a day, usually twice. I brush before work, but sometimes I forget to do it at night. For some reason, I'm not cavity-prone; I used to brush without toothpaste (several times a day) and while my teeth were yellow, the dentist didn't find any cavities.

I tried shaving my body hair at one point because body hair is pretty gross in general, but you know what's more gross? The pimples and abscesses that come with ingrown body hair.

I brush my teeth between two and four times a day. I floss and use listerine before going to sleep.

I shower after going to the gym, which I do most days. I can go for two days without doing it.

I shave my armpits every time I shower. In the summer, I shave my legs once or twice a week. In the winter, I do it if I feel the need. I shave my pubes when the need arises but I don't really like to do it and my boyfriend says he doesn't care either way. I pluck my eyebrows probably once a week.

>>Although I'm 20 I don't have a beard to shave often yet so I only do my shitty mustache every 3 days or so, and wtf at armpits and balls jesus christ

Wait, your mustache grew before your beard? It's the total opposite for me; my upper lip is as soft as a baby's butt, but my beard grows at a rate where I'll have to shave at least once every two days.

To the people with seriously lacking and (almost) non-existing dental hygiene: How the fuck do you live with your mouths? Were your parents not decent enough to at least teach you how to wipe your own asses and brush your own teeth? God damn.

... You fucking what?

Major lulz had from the South West.

I shower every day, most days I wear a showercap because drying my hair takes too long, but wash it every 3rd day because it gets greasy if I don't.

Brush my teeth before I go to bed. I should really do it more, but my last dental checkup was [miraculously] fine.

I shower once daily, in the mornings. Sometimes a second time if I do something that warrants me showering again.

Brush my teeth on average once a day, at night. I floss and rinse with listerine, too. I usually don't have time in the morning to brush due to my roommates being fucking girls about the bathroom. But, I do brush some mornings.

I shave once a week. But I should really step that up to every other day. I have an enormous beard though, so the hair on my neck isn't quite as noticeable, just makes my beard look WAY messier.

i brush my teeth once or twice a day... but occasionally i rush out or something and come back home and crash, so i miss a day. I usually shower once every day, or two days, depending on if i did much during the day or not. Shower after gym is a no brainer...

I brush my teeth at least twice a day (use mouthwash twice a day).
Shower every day but occasionally skip a shower but wash my armpits, face, feet.
I occasionally trim my pubes.
I also daily shave my hands (up to the wrist) because I'm hairier than your average bear. I also shave my armpits occasionally because I sweat a lot.

I shower every day and wash my hair every second day, I try to brush my teeth twice a day now but I usually only manage once a day at night. However I went for a few years without brushing at all practically.

Started for a while, stopped for even longer, started for a while, stopped for longer etc. I started trying properly once I decided I needed to improve my overall health last year.

I shower twice a day, once when I wake up and once before I sleep, sometimes three times mid day if I'm not out just to wake me up and stop feeling all stuffy. In the shower all I do is rinse myself with water though, no body wash or shampoo unless I'm going out.

Teeth... well you'll think I'm lying but I haven't brushed my teeth in 5 years, I still have them intact, they're a little yellow and I needed some fillings but yeah, I know, I'm a freak. if I brush them my gums bleed though :(
