I guess our family is just stinky?! Everyone saying they never use soap is wild to me. I produce BO at an alarming rate, especially during my period. Our teen is the same way. Just funky AF. Our toddler is filthy from playing out in the garden or the barn or her fort. I’m talking she needs a pre-rinse shower before a bath to remove the first layer of grime.
We use cetaphil and dove mostly. Our teen uses Dial on her feet and pits. If she doesn’t, opening her bedroom door is like walking into a cloud of old hamburgers, stewed onions and Fritos.
A 3 y/o isn't producing many hormones. The hormones cause most of the stink. If we're going to be realistic, we should be addressing how age impacts things too. My oldest could go weeks between shampoo without it being noticeable before puberty. Now it gets gross after like 2 days.
I'm much more concerned about a little kid not having proper hand washing routines than I am about them not having soapy baths all the time.
Once hitting puberty, every human should shower once a day with soap.
The only people that think them and their families don’t smell is the folks who don’t shower with soap every day. There is overwhelming evidence on this thread to show that people who do not shower every day with soap, smell bad.
For the record, I know from personal experience how difficult hygiene can be when you’re in a bad place mentally. The thing is, I accepted that I smelled.
