Bathing Every Day Not The Best?

They claimed that white people bath only once a week, which is apparently false.

Thank you Seun for clearing that up.   Yes it is a false assumption and I felt that being a white woman I simply must defend myself.   I wish that I knew where the ones making their false claims got their information.  But,  As I said before,  it is easier to say something negative when that`s what you really want to say perhaps out of hatred for another race.  I hate no one and I judge no one.    My bath is daily and I would be disgusted if those I associated with weren`t clean.  Thank you Josboy for that warm welcome to the forum

Who's read Arms and the Man -- by Bernard Shaw? You should see something about what people believed then.
I think it's as ridiculous as saying we should brush after breakfast -- imagine me eating with my horrible tasting mouth. Ughhh.

Will you bloody subtards bloody stop being lazy and have your baths twice a fucking day! 4 pages on such a topic? Yeah i typed out FUCK you have a FUCKING problem with that?

Why don't you read the four pages yourself and find out i've posted here far earlier that you and if the topic has changed then a forum rule which states we should keep all posts on topic has been broken and the bum of a mod isn't doing S H I T about it.

i bath every blessing day,
what's wrong with that anyway?

ONE THING I BELIEVE IS THIS

TAKING OUR BATHS EVERYDAY DEPENDS ON OUR SKIN TYPES

THOSE WITH VERY OILY SKINS ARE ADVISED BY DERMATOLOGISTS TO TAKE THEIR BATHS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY, THIS IS DONE TO REDUCE THOSE BREAKOUTS CALLED PIMPLES.

I HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT TAKING OUR BATHS ONLY TWICE A WEEK. THATS ABSURD. AND UNTIL THAT SCIENTIST TEACHER PROVES TO ME ADVANTAGE OF TAKING MY BATH TWICE IN A WEEK, I WILL STICK TO MY BATHING TWICE OR THRICE A DAY SEF.

HOPE THAT TEACHER KNOWS THAT OUR SKIN BREATHES THROUGH THE PORES, AND IF WE TAKE OUR BATH ONLY TWICE A WEEK, DONT You THINK THAT DIRT WILL JUST BLOCK THOSE PORES WHICH MAY CAUSE SOME HAZARDS FOR US?

AS FOR WASHING DOWN BELOW, HMMMM, I FEEL You SHOULD WASH IT EVERYTIME You USE THE LADIES O. IT IS SELF CLEANSING AS THEY SAY, BUT I CANT DO WITHOUT WASHING IT ALWAYS THOUGH NOT WITH SOAP ALWAYS SHA, BCOS AS I WAS THOT IN SCHOOL, THERE ARE SOME FRIENDLY BACTERIA THERE WHICH HELPS TO FIGHT THOSE BAD ONES THAT CAUSE CANDIDA AND CO

WHAT IF ITS THE WEEK You DECIDE TO WASH IT ONLY TWICE AND "HE" DECIDES TO GO DOWN BELOW WITH HIS MOUTH ONLY TO PERCIEVE THE SMELL OF ROTTEN FISH OOZING FROM DOWN BELOW. EMBARRASING!!!! DONT You THINK?

BABES, ABEG CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS

lol.
wel, it depends on da weather and if u got BO then OBVIOUSLY u need a wash,say 3 times a day!

When the teachers tell you, about not bathing regularly
do you ask them how many they take their bath?

I wonder if 'bathing' means different things to different people.  You can wash without 'bathing'.

mind u, spoilt, it's not just the guys,  check out the stench from the ladies, even when they bath twice a day,

Yep, in Europe 'bathing' would mean sitting in a big bathful of water and washing. Showering is standing under a shower.  Anything else we don't call bathing. So if you filled up a sink with water and soap and stood there naked and washed yourself thoroughly all over, that's not called bathing, it's called washing.  That's how we wash without bathing  .  That's what I meant by 'bathing' meaning different things to different people.

so, in Europe, just because someone doesn't 'bathe' everyday it doesn't mean they haven't cleaned themselves thoroughly. I think this is probably where some of the confusion has come in. We just use different words to describe the same things. Not everyone does 'bathe' every day - but I don't know anyone who doesn't wash at least once a day.

Funnily enough I read an article in the newspaper yesterday saying that parents shouldn't bathe their babies more than three times a week as it is drying to their skin. They should wash the babies on the other days.

Just shows the difference between bathing and washing.

the heat in naija is enough to force you to take a shower, even if you have to go to a konga (well), armed with a water drawer to fetch water. hmm. did a lot of that back in my uni days. living in those wretched female hostels with no running water no easy o. sometimes you could pay those small small girls/boys to help you fetch water outside the compund when the well is dry, and sometimes ya just had to go fetch it yourself. so uncool, especially when you trying to form in the midst of some fine guys and they see you passing by with a bucket of water. buhahahah!  memories.
