Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI am now anti-deodorant!
I am also anti-toothpaste, anti-soap, and anti-shampoo. I am ideologically opposed to the changing or washing of clothes. I've been freed from the tyranny of it all.
My anti-vax family, neighbors, and coworkers can suck it up and mind their own business. Personal hygiene is a personal decision. I shall remain of this mindset until herd immunity is achieved.
Who's with me?

(23,283 posts)I think you've found the perfect way to keep people socially-distanced from you, with your odoriferous force field around you.
Hell, yeah. I'm "with you", if not particularly close.

(7,510 posts)"We learned that an average pair of jeans consumes roughly 3,500 liters of water and that is after only two years of use, washing the jeans once a week," Bergh writes. "Nearly half of the total water consumption, or 1,600 liters, is the consumer throwing the jeans in the washing machine. Thats equivalent to 6,700 glasses of drinking water!"
He also says that not washing the jeans helps them last longer.

When I worked at FSU, I was in some kind of Student Union planning meeting and I suggested, with a straight face, that to save energy and money, that we have a no-bath February program. Feb. is cool so you aren't doing a lot of sweating, and if everybody participates, nobody can complain. I went on to tell them how many gallons of water and how many kilowatt hours, and how much money could be saved. My suggestion was met with a lot of skepticism, especially from the women, and was not adopted, but it made more sense than a lot of things that we did there.
I am a big reader of WWII histories and biographies from soldiers on all sides. The troops would sometimes go months without bathing or clean clothes. They don't complain too much about being dirty, but they all complain about body lice. On anecdotal factoid that I found interesting are common comments from both Germans and Soviets that, even living in the open in 40 degree below zero temps is that people did not get sick with colds. They may lose digits to frostbite or die of exposure, but they didn't get sick often. I credit that to being dirty all the time, it builds up your immunity.

(90,740 posts)None. Zilch. Nada.
She was a proud "free bleeding" (her words for it) Christian. She said her god made women bleed but he didn't make tampons, etc.. Good enough for Eve and all that. (again, her words)
She did bathe and all, hair done, mouth fresh, and usually wore clean clothing.
Still.
No.
As for you...

(63,221 posts)Did she not even use pads or anything to prevent her from bleeding all over the place? Or did she just stay home on those days?
How bizarre. I suppose at one point in time you could have gotten away with it, but it would put most women in a difficult spot today.

(90,740 posts)I didn't ask questions. Was in close proximity when others asked and she answered. I did see the evidence of her devotion, however.
