Do you really need a shower in the MH every day? (1 Viewer)

[Steve]

I like to shower with a friend so consequently don’t shower very often…… or at all.

I find that a dirty dish cloth helps to replace lost body oils but the small pieces of food can get uncomfortable when lodged in certain places.

Hmm the lack of a friend to shower with and the consequences seem like a cause and effect loop!

I mentioned this before, there is an added benefit at rallies when attended by those that don't shower regularly. In that it keeps the flies off the American Supper

I think C&A are still in business in the rest of europe if you want to avoid confusion and save the hassle of embroidery

Try baby wipes for the other end in water emergency water situation

Whilst serving in Northern Ireland, we only had the opportunity to shower once every five weeks. The consensus was that, (in South Armagh), lives were saved because we smelt like sheep. The pong of fresh soap and clean bodies travels a long way with the breeze.

Do not try this in Wales, you may not like the results.

Hi.
Under NO! account,must you interfere with your "Natural Body Oils". Showering TWICE a week!!? NO! You miss read the paper,it should read. "Twice a year MAX"
Tea Bag

persactly..washing away all those essential oils? ( after a few weeks you start self cleaning)...washing a nonsense plus a waste of drinking time...

I'm not sure if I should share this but here goes. We do shower regularly but decided to take two flannels in the van for the occasions when the water is low and we can't risk a shower. I bought two nice ones but realised too late that it was a mistake to get them the same colour as one was for face and the other one was for the 'other end'. The occasion finally came when we were running low on water and wanted a good wash (or a 'personal wash' as Ruth Jones so eloquently called it in Gavin and Stacey). Shirl pointed out that we wouldn't know which was which so I painstakingly embroidered the letter F on one of them. Fast forward several months to the next time water was a bit low and out came the aforesaid flannels. That's when we couldn't remember whether F stood for Face of Fanny.

On the same sort of subject as Mags52, the practice nurse and I often wished we had the courage to put up a sign in the smear clinic saying "it's not your feet it's your fxxxx you should be apologising for at the end of a hot sweaty day"! Fortunately they were in a minority.

Well, I get the brown one for your tanned face but cream for the other end has me beat

Mmm maybe both brown is best then

On the other hand my bum don't see much sun so maybe white would be better

During the Vietnam War, some Vietcong realised that if they washed with stolen American Army soap they could fool the dogs that the Americans used to search their tunnel networks. On the subject of pongs travelling, one of the last aborigines to come out of the Australian bush in the 1980s said he knew 'modern' people were in the area because he could smell their poo on the breeze from 2 kilometres away.

I shower daily at home because I don't think I'd ever wake up properly if I didn't. In the MH when we're using aires we're more careful with the water so it's every few days. I'm not bothered with all that hippy nonsense about natural oils and essences and inner energies - if I need a good wash I'll have one.

Let me get this straight - we are living in 2015, not 1955 ?

We have indoor plumbing & central heating - why would anyone (voluntarily) go back to the days of an outside 'thunderbox' & waking up to ice on the inside of the window?

"Strip washes" Oh Please!
Why would you spend loads on facilities & not use them?

I presume these people have high tech satellite systems with flat screen TVs... and yet huddle around a "cats whisker crystal radio set"

I don't get it - I really don't.
Shower daily at home, shower daily in MH.
Be a dirty smelly b*gger at home 'washing' with a manky flannel at home, then I guess its OK to do it when in your van...

I'm with you. I just don't get it??

I've spent £10's of £1000's on buying a home from home and use it to it's fullest extent, including a daily shower

I don't smell, I'm not ill due to a lack of skin bugs and my body oil dipstick says I'm healthy too

We always use the ships shower method and conserve water that way

SWMBO only has to stand within 20 feet of someone who only washes occasionally and she can smell them. I think that those who wash less frequently than other, don't even realise how much they smell, as they just get used to it

 

[MR. FUSION]

I NEVER use the shower in the van, just hate to think about the water getting somewhere it should'nt, in the van I mean
However, I shave and have a strip wash every night before bed, and every other day when I am running I also have a strip wash after my run, don't feel that I need a shower and the water lasts longer which is a benefit as I wild camp most of the time.
If you meet me and I smell bad please let me know

Ok well er remind not to buy a Hymer, clearly german engineering is not upto using the shower

It's a bit like that at the cassette dump at Funster rallies

 

[dabhand]

Don't understand why anybody would want to smell like a sh*thouse seat made out of an old kipper box! Take a shower you smelly bar stewards get some not stinky antiperspirant or deodorant, shower the French way to save water when in the Moho and start to smell aromatic for the rest of us. You've all had a wiff of the old women who keep dousing themselves in "Tweed" without washing, smelling like a pissy terry towel nappy drying by the fire, it's not right I tell you!

You make it sound like incontinence ware with plenty of disposable wipes would be a better option for some of you......
