This unspoken rule obviously has a double standard. It's considered manly when a gent skips bath time since men can go days without showering and smell like rotten meat. One lady on TikTok sacrificed her dignity to allow the rest of the female species to talk freely about their thoughts on hygiene.

The girls admitted that bathing every day started feeling like a chore and punishment. They also admitted to hating bath time and the routine of staying hygienically clean because of the time and energy consumption:

"I just don't understand the concept of having to bathe every single day."

The lady begged her social media followers:

"Don't judge."
