Of course not.

But if you don't you have to make a bit of extra effort on other things, like making sure your clothes are actually cleaned. Non-bio won't do the job.

I can't shower ever day, it was causing skin problems. It's not uncommon, kind of surprised to be reading an article about a really old issue as if it were new.

If your daily showers aren't causing problems though, why change.

If you do decide to not shower every day, you still gotta keep your stanky bits clean. Nobody likes smelly people.

Every other day should be fine I guess

I missed a shower one day and actually died.

I personally do not. Too stressful to the body, people manage once a week with minimal problems.
