I take my contacts out once a month and brush my teeth whenever the thought occurs to me, which is highly irregular. It could be two consecutive days in a row or it could be 2 weeks later. Besides that I'll clean up everything depending on the occasion. In my defense, the necessity of brushing your teeth can be overrated bull**** depending on your particular diet, and whether or not you get cavities is heavily based on genetics (either that or I'm a lucky SOB so far). Eating an apple will help clean your teeth, and I eat apples pretty often. I also occasionally scrape my teeth with a metal object while I'm sitting at the computer or watching TV just for the fun of it. Kind of like how they do it at the dentist.
I virtually never wear deodorant.
But, you'll all be happy to know, that I do shower or lounge around in a hot bathtub almost every day. If it's a day off, I might do it twice just for the **** of it. My shower accessories radiate classiness and style.
When it comes to clothes, I usually change my shirt every day (I always do on a workweek). Pants, on the other, can go for a few days before I stick them in the washer. I'll often rotate them around. (Black pants A on Monday and Wednesday, Black pants B on Tuesday and Thursday). Just in case there are boys and girls that are taking careful note of my pants - which no doubt they all are - they won't see upon close inspection that it's the same pair of pants.
I generally shave my ass twice a month with an electric razor. I fearlessly slide it down the crack for maximum effectiveness. The hairiness of my ass can rival a grandfather grizzly bear, so leaving it go uncontrolled can make taking a **** highly unhygienic. I shave my back maybe about every other month. I trim up my beard twice a month. I leave my chest hairs alone.

Yes, people do notice, pretty much every time.
I brush my teeth twice a day, take a shower after anything soccer related and a bath in the evening, change shirts every day, pants go for a few days. Clip my nails once a week, wash my hair once every few days. That's about it.

Everything else is exactly or nearly the same, but for changing shirt every day. And about the shoes I need to ask, you actually prefer wearing them inside the house?

Does not make a difference! If you are unemployed and live in Florida, for example. So you're naked at home, you wear only when you visit the store. 30 days, you used only 60 min. Depending on the circumstances, can not know! The film is nonsense.

The thing that 'got me' about it, was the fact that you ended up apologizing It was like cinderella apologizing to the wicked step mom for making a wish

Clip my nails a few times a week, shower at least twice a day if I'm going to the dojo, make sure the deodorant I use isn't too smelly, make sure I'm well-shaved (That short, stubby 1-2 day beard ain't too pleasant for the opponent to touch)... and just... overall make sure that if someone's gonna wrestle with me my hygiene isn't something that comes to their mind.
Those are some really good considerations. I actually never thought how especially nales and stubs could be very problematic when you're into violence. May I ask, what tool do you apply for nail clipping? My parents used to use a pair of scissors when I were younger and it was really uncomfortable. Now I use a tool designed to cut my nails, but it never gets to a place, where the skin beneath is exposed, which I imagine is the level you require?
I imagine you use a razor for shaving? At least the electrical thing I've never removes it all, and it's the very short stuff that is sharp, I believe?
I, btw., don't use deodarants. I don't know how smart that is, especially considering when I ride my bicycle (every day I'm at school, which is also when I meet people), I can't help sweating a lot. Which means sweat will dry up on my clothes, which makes me wonder, sometimes, if I smell bad and I've merely gotten used to the smell myself. The problem with deodarants however, or at least the one I tried 7 years ago and still have lying around, was that red marks (like skin irritation) started to show in the areas I sprayed, so I got a little scared.

I also reuse shirts before they're washed, but I do this little trick. I have alone clothes which aren't the nicest or cleanist, but I wear when I'm alone so I don't add extra unnecessary use to the clothes I use when I want to look presentable. Then the clothes I use to look presentable, I switch every day (except for pants, which I maybe switch once a month), but I still reuse it, just with days between. Since days have passed, others can naturally assume I've gone back to the same shirt, maybe 4-5 days later, because it has been washed. Yet it actually has not been washed.
Quote:
Hmm what else, yeah I wash my feet sometimes separately, if I have had to use shoes too much during the day (this is where I don't get americans and wearing shoes inside the house..)
I forgot about this, I also sometimes wash my feet before I go to bed. It helps me relax, and when my feet aren't cold it helps me sleep easier. Not to mention my feet won't be dirty the next morning when I wake up. Yeah I don't get the weird "shoes indoors". I'd think it was much more pleasent to have your feet move freely, but given the sort of toxic bugs that may live in the states, maybe that's why.

Brush, floss, and fluoride my teeth twice a day, plus occasionally after lunch.
Shower once a day, twice when I work out. Shave every day. Wash my face before I go to bed.
I'm a total neat freak, too. I can't relax in a dirty home.
I also try to use floss, but my habits with it aren't very good yet. So you brush your teeth after lunch? According to what I've been told, it's not the best, because it allows for the food which may still sit there, to make some damage during brushing. I was suggested to use a tooth pick or flossing after lunch, but not brushing. Then again, if you've 0 or very few cavities then you're probably the one doing it correct.
I too used to shower twice when I went to the gym, but after they put up cameras I just couldn't take off my clothes anymore. I considered showereing when I got back, but at time I'd usually just fall asleep.
Is the face washing helping you relax? Or do you've a generally dirty face?
I wish I were a "neat freak" too then. I try to clean on a monthly basis, but my place is currently so bad, that I wouldn't dare to invite people over. Not that there are any people to invite over, but it's the principle of it.

You can have contacts in your eyes for an entire month without trouble!?? That's impressive, I were taught one have to take them out each night when sleeping, clean them and put them in again the next day.
About teeth brushing. Well in my diet, I don't eat a lot of sugar, but I don't know what else those types of germs love. In any case, the reason I can experience cavity problems is because my salivor (mouth spit) levels are very low. Seriously, if I try to eat, I've to have some fluids next to me, to help getting it down, when I wake up in the mornings, my mouth is incredible dry. Which means I can feel the stuff which have grown on my teeth during the night despite I brushed my teeth just before going to bed.

Me neither. But for me it's more literally if looking at the right time periods.

I too tried to make a sheet of when to change clothes, but I haven't really applied it. Am I disgusting for only changing pants once a month?
Quote:

Well my popo also have a lot of hair growing (back in public school I was teased with my butt having its own moustache), but I didn't know I was supposed to shave it. Is it really important? Because I'm kinda uncomfortable with the idea. I too have experienced poo getting attached to the popo hair, but that stopped after some time.
Response to Vindicator:
Thanks for sharing! I guess I really maybe should change my pants more often. No one ever said anything about it before though.
Response to Ghost:
Are you using google translator?
Response to del_diablo:
I use comfortable slippers. I think that's what they're called anyway. Home shoes if directly translates. Sandals are for the garden.
Thanks for all the response guys! Have given me stuff to think about, if I should add to what I do or change what I'm already doing. Seriously I never considering shaving my intimate area (butt), but I suppose it kinda makes sense. So I would have to apply two different electric shavers, one for my butt and one for my face right? Or is it like when using a spongue with soap, you can merely reapply to your face, despite having used it to your butt and feet earlier??

@Diablo
I floss regularly because it keeps my gums healthy and also significantly reduces bad breath. My dentist always raves about my gum health.
I brush twice a day, usually with an electric toothbrush in the evening. I can't stand the feeling of dirty teeth. I also use listerine twice daily.
Overly vigorous brushing can cause gum recessession. After lunch I usually just scrub the tops of my molars, if anything. If I don't brush after lunch I'll chew sugar free gum.
I've had to have a few cavities drilled but nothing serious. Generally my teeth are pretty healthy.
For washing my face - usually by the end of the day my skin just feels greasy. It also helps me relax to wash my face with a good soap and hot water. Plus it keeps my pillow nice and clean. I also usually use a face cream so my skin doesn't dry out.
Nothing makes me more nuts than a dirty home. I just can't relax in a room that's dirty or cluttered with crap everywhere. It's hard to stay on top of it with a 4 year old, but I try my best. When I was living by myself, my place was immaculate - I would spend 4 to 5 hours every other week cleaning it from top to bottom.
EDIT: Regarding clothes, I change my underwear every day. I usually wear an undershirt under everything to absorb sweat, and that gets changed every day as well. Pants I'll usually wear twice unless they're visibly dirty. Same goes for shirts, except T-shirts which usually get one day. People overlaunder their clothes I think.

Normal shoes that I use every day for most stuff.
Working boots that I use for more "extreme" circumstance (since I'm a country person it's usually just a matter of time before I end up with mud half way up my knees, for example.)
Winter shoes that I use every day for most stuff during the winter.
Winter boots... well... during the winter I've several times ended up with snow well above my waist and getting a bit of extra warmth and protection isn't a bad thing.
And formal shoes.
So five pair of shoes, but that's pretty much required.
As for general hygiene I usually shower whenever I get sweaty, smelly (or my clothes, rather) or when my hair starts feeling "wrong" (which is quite noticable since I have so much of it), so I usually end up showering every three days or so, unless I've been doing some sort of physical straining.
I usually wear an undersnow, and that and underpants get changed every time I shower, but pants and shirt can stick with me a bit longer.
So how do people do with beds and stuff? How often do you change sheets and what-not?
