Curiosity only.

Here in Brazil it's very common to have several showers a day. I, for example, take two. The first is when I wake up, before I go to work, and the second is when I get home from work. I wake up at 6.30am and get home at 8pm.

edit: I said bath, but I meant shower.

I think it is the same across all of Germany. I think it might be similar for most of Northern Europe if I had to guess.

Excuse me what? I'm German and I shower daily. I know nobody who doesn't.

Hi, I am dutch and live in austria so on average that makes me german.

I shower maybe once a week but I am also very depressed so take it with a grain of salt.

Belgian here. We are known to be average at best. Hope you be better soon. I used to bathe 3 to 4 times a week. Quick showers actually. I started making it cleansing ritual after coming home from work. It became something that made me mentally better. Some music, a podcast, whatever works for you, and a bit of me-time. One time a week is ok when it's cold outside but I can imagine that people notice in summertime. They do, even if they don't tell you. Physical care is personal care and reflects on your metal health.

MΓ©xico here. I do not know anyone who does not shower at least once a day. Summer or winter.
