Volxen:
Here is a good article that talks about some of the major disadvantages of showering too much – and even some dermatologists agree that showering daily is too much (and showering multiple times a day is definitely too much). Aside from causing dry or irritated skin, it can also make you more susceptible to viruses and bacteria: http://www.mnn.com/health/fitness-well-being/blogs/how-often-do-you-really-need-to-shower
The take away from this seems to be that most people really don’t “need” to take more than 3 or so showers/baths in a week.
Fine. But unless you live by yourself in the woods, please find a way to clean your crotch, butt and pits at least once a day. It doesn’t have to be a shower or bath, although that would be nice.

But if you “need” to apply deodorant more than once a day on a regular basis, I think your body is telling you, you “need” to shower more often!
