TikToker Allison says she only showers twice a week and was surprised to find out that some people shower every day.
She explains to her followers: “So I’ve recently found out that I am in fact a gross human being.
“This is because most girls when they say that they wash their hair twice a week they literally mean wash their hair – and they shower every day.
“I only shower once or twice a week. I’ve gone five days without showering before.”
Allison’s confession – viewed millions of times – has divided people on social media, with some questioning why she showers so little.
One user says: “No way you just posted this information about yourself.”
Someone else suggests: “Girl A SHOWER CAP.”
Another person comments: “I legit will not lay in my bed if I’m not showered and in clean clothes.”
While a fourth adds: “Once or twice a week is crazy how are y’all agreeing with this.”
“I get not showering for one or two days but a whole week? There’s no way,” comments someone else.
However, others agree with Allison and are praising her for speaking out about it.
Someone says: “Showering is tiring so yeah totally relate.”
Another adds: “Finally someone said it I’m sorry.”
“I’ve been there and I do it too, if I’m not dirty I’m not showering. If my hair is dirty then I’m showering,” confesses a third.
One person admits: “Yuppp. Showering feels like such a chore.”
A fifth writes: “THANK YOU for talking about this. Showering is so exhausting!! How do people do it so much???”

Aimee has offered an explanation for her minimal showering habits.
She continues: “If I’m getting in the shower, I’m going to wash my hair.
“Why would I get in the shower and not wash my hair? But I don’t want to wash my hair every day.
“So I’ve had to start saying that I ‘wash my hair twice a week’ – but I only shower twice a week.”
Allison has posted a follow-up video reacting to the comments she’s received.
She tells her followers: “I think it goes to show that this is more common than people think.
“I’m sure there are people who don’t shower and smell, but I don’t smell and I don’t need to wash my hair, so why would I shower?”
She also admits that she bought a shower cap after it was suggested in the comments.
According to WebMD, there’s no ‘one size fits all’ answer to how often you should shower a week.
“Many doctors say a daily shower is fine for most people,” WebMD says.
“But for many people, two to three times a week is enough and maybe even better to maintain good health.
“It depends on your lifestyle.”
