Having a shower every day or a few times a week is pretty normal for most people – but some go a staggering amount of time without.
They claim they don’t smell but do admit that their decisions won’t be accepted as normal and they’ll even be labelled dirty.
And there are supposedly even benefits, with one claiming their hair is better than ever from ditching oily shampoo while another suggesting their skin has improved from not drying it out showering.

Here, Daily Star has taken a look at a handful of people who have ditched showering altogether.
Fifteen years without a shower
David Whitlock previously admitted that he had not showered orbathed for 15 years, but claims he does not have body odour.
He said: “It was kind of strange for the first few months, but after that I stopped missing it.
“If I get a specific part of my body dirty, then I’ll wash that specific part” – but never with soap.
David's main aim was to encourage microbes to live on him and find a natural skincare routine.
He managed to harvest bacteria from a local farm's soil, feed them with ammonia and minerals before applying them to his skin and found that he had stopped smelling.
‘I don't smell’
Lifestyle guru and former medical biophysicist Sarah Ballantyne, says she uses only water to wash, despite “sweating buckets six hours a week” at the gym.
“I use coconut oil to shave and that’s it,” she said “Over time, my skin has adjusted. I don’t smell.”
She is convinced her odour-free armpits are a sign that her skin is healthy.
'My hair's better than ever'
Adyan Jane shocked millions when she revealed to TikTok viewers that she hadn’t showered in 10 days.
She told viewers that she is “living proof” people don’t have to bathe often to look and feel good.
Jane also revealed the reason she had chose to shun bathing was for her hair.
She told viewers: "The reason I'm doing this is because of my hair, it's been perfect with this new shampoo. Normally when I get showered, my hair gets oily.
"My hair hasn't got oily in 10 days. I smell like my deodorant, the only downside is the money but it works.
"'I am pretty sure I am not representative of the general public — I would guess the general public showers daily."
She was met with people leaving comments calling her "disgusting", "weird" and a "walking biohazard".
‘I go to bed with dirty feet’
A woman with “musty body odour” admitted that she goes “as long as possible without a shower”.
Addie Kirchner also shared her bathing habits on TikTok where she told people that she doesn’t even wear deodorant.
However, she stated that her family is yet to tell her that she smells bad.
She said: "One thing about me is I am musty. I don't wear deodorant.
"I go as long as possible without a shower. I use Dr Bronners as a four-in-one. I go to bed with dirty feet.
"Hairbrush? Don't know her. I simply do not give a f***.
"My family is flabbergasted but have yet to tell me I smell bad."
