That's what humans do.

But...

Speaking to a lot of people in the community, I think that actually getting undressed, getting in water, it's incredibly overstimulating.

It's a sensory nightmare sometimes, having to get soaking wet, having to dry yourself, the time that it takes, the sort of mental energy it takes to think about starting that process.

I feel like unless you...

are a marathon runner or you're extremely active.

I don't think we need to shower every single day sometimes.

I think some people love showering.

I love taking baths, for example.

I try and have at least three, four baths a week.

It's my total comfort zone where I enjoy spending time.

It's great.

Light a candle, lower the lights.

For some people, it will work.

For some people, it doesn't.

I think it's just a conversation to start.

If you are somebody listening or watching and you feel a lot of shame about...

not showering as often as society tells you that you should then sometimes it's not necessary and we can unstrip that sort of unspoken requirement to shower every single day so number 23 never ever shower ever again right okay good saving water bills exactly so number 22 22 give never brush your teeth yeah never brush your teeth yeah

Give a non-answer.

So what I mean by that, if someone asks something of your time, for example, do you want to go for dinner tonight?
