How often do you shower? And do you shower before uni or after.

Do you wear the same shoes?

How often do you change your bra and pants

Okay Thankyou.
Anything else I should know?

The main thing I'm confused is whether people should change their bra everyday, and clothes at home.

Shave arms, wax face? It's really up to you

With tips I'll usually wash them after one wear, trousers/skirts after one or two wears, with accessories it really hair spends how often I wear them, I usually just throw extra stuff in when I'm washes a bunch of other stuff

Oh sorry lol that was meant to say tops, like t shirts and stuff
Change underwear, shirt, socks daily. If out of clean clothes then socks can do two days, shirts can do two days if the armpits don't smell, and underwear can be worn inside out for an extra day.
Trousers can last 2-5 days depending on how much I wipe my hands down them after eating.
Jumpers can easily last a week or more.
Shoes I never change, but I try not to wear them at home.
You can get away with only changing your bed every 2-4 weeks, although you should probably do it weekly.
Shower daily.
Hoover every 1-2 weeks.
Dust appliances/desk/furniture every 3 months.

I do, but I know people who only wash their hair every two days.
Change underwear once a week.

Shower once a week.

Wash hair every 3 days. I think that way nobody notices. If it looks like I have clean hair then it also would suggest that I shower regularly, and not only do I not produce a very offensive smell anyway, but I use deodorant enough to cover it up.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as no one else knows, I'm fine.

Also brush teeth once a day in the mornings.

I wear a pad even if I'm not on my period so my pants can last for 3-7 days without a wash
