Camping for 4 days would be the longest. I sweat a lot (lots of running, also anxiety disorder causes me to sweat in face-to-face confrontational situations) so I usually shower daily. Lots of running = lots of showering, or else my bed would become a bit unpleasant xD
I didnt shower for a few days while camping in the summer but I went in the ocean everyday.
I once didn't shower for like 2 weeks or so, coz I was at the beach and that cleans me better than any shower could!
2 weeks camping, the year after that we got a camping shower bag.
The longest I've ever gone without showering was probably a week. I was stuck in the house for that period of time and I didn't really have anywhere to go, so I kind of just slacked off about it. I think I was twelve.
Now I shower every day; I'd be able to shower once every two or three days if it weren't for my hair... it gets oily really fast. -.-
Whenever possible, I shower daily. And for the last couple years (for the most part) that's been possible. The few exceptions would be the hiking/camping/surveying trips that I've gone on, where I go upwards of a week without showering.
1 week, but now? i shower 2-3 times a DAY.
About two weeks or so, more or less. This was just recently actually.. I broke down and showered this Friday even though, surprisingly, no one said or noticed anything (as far as I could tell). Deodorant did become an essential after about a week or so, though, and I did develop a stye on my lower eyelid the day before I decided to shower. But that could just be a coincidence, right?
Anyway, my excuse is that I'm going to be a hobo for Halloween and I'm looking to win best costume. With an idea as generic as that, I'd need to really go all out to impress the panel. I think I may have blown my shot.

Longest time must be around a week, but that was back when I was really young, the good times when you never started to smell or get oily hair. Still even that time I usually took regular showers because I liked meditating in the shower. Not to mention I didn't pay for the water, due to me being in a boarding school which was equiped with pretty cool bathrooms.
Now the longest time I spend without shower is around 3 days, and that only when I stay at home so my shiny greasy hair won't bother anyone (but god how I hate that grease myself).
Was a few days when i was on school camp no showers only a river , apart from that im a shower freak , MUST shower in the morning and night
I didn't feel the need to shower too if I didn't feel dirty.
But I guessed it only lasted for 2 days.
1 week or less. My air gets so oily after one day of not showering that it bothers me even if there's nobody around to see what it looks like. Just feels like a wet rag on my head.
When deeply depressed I can take days or even weeks without feeling like showers are anywhere near a necessity. Usually though even a day without one and I feel dirty.
I didn't shower for about a week and a half once. If I am forced to stay anywhere with a creepy old fashioned bathroom I don't use it.
On this occasion, we left the city for a while after a disaster because a family member of mine was a bit traumatized. We went to a friends shitty "holiday house"-- worst week of my life.
The longest I went was a whole month and a day! The last shower I took was the day after Christmas and the next shower I took was January 27th!!! Lol i didnt smell!!! & no one complained about me stinking!
I'm just not a stinky person! I usually don't go that long! The longest before that was 2 weeks. But I knew after my hair was sticking straight up without help that it was time... Plus it had been a month... But other than that, I didn't even use deodorant! Lol I guess it's a good thing these posts are pretty much anonymous!!! Otherwise y'all would never come near me after knowing my deepest secret! Lol

Just a mere three days, though I should shower every day because my hair is greasy otherwise.
I went 3 weeks without showering once, but that...
That's a long story.:roll:
Two weeks when I was little, until my mom asked exactly how long it was since I had taken a bath. And I had been playing in mud and sand and everything. :eh:
Recently the longest was 3 days. I don't sweat a lot, and I don't get really oily, so I can get away with every two/three days. Typically I shower every day though. And I wash my face every day, that's non-negotiable.
For probably most of my life I would only shower every two or three days, but the last few months I'm finding that my skin and hair prefer if I shower just about every day. Even when I was unemployed/self-employed for almost two years, I probably never went more than 5 days unwashed. My hair starts getting super greasy by the end of day 2 (or as I say when I want to be a jackass, my Italian heritage starts to show).
It must have been about six months. I hadn't taken my German paratrooper boots and socks off once in all that time. I developed some horrible holes in the soles of my feet and went to see a doctor and he said I had the first stages of 'trench foot'. It must have burnt his nostrils, the smell that is. He said regular washing coupled with a particular cream would restore my feet. I went to a nearby river and had a good foot wash. Not long after that my friend 'Dennis the Menace' had found himself rented accommodation. A good bath was in order. I asked him if I could have a bath and if I could borrow a pair of clean underwear. I had my bath and afterwards he was inquisitive about where I had disposed of my six month old dirty underwear. I could understand his concern as he thought they may have been a potential health hazard as well as being a grim item to be left lying around his place. I said, 'Hey man don't worry I threw them out of the bathroom skylight'. Dennis went and had a look and I heard him burst out in hysterical laughter. He came in the living room holding his sides as his laughter was so strong it was beginning to get painful. I asked what was so funny and he told me to look out of the skylight and to look on the roof. I did and it made me laugh too. My boxer shorts were so crusty they were standing upright perfectly on their own. Quite an amazing feat for cotton material; and they were Disney underpants with Goofy on them.
These days I wear mostly a suit due to work and I am partial to using a can of instant bath regularly (deodorant). What a marvellous invention haha
2 weeks I think. Damn military
The longest I've gone is a week.
