@akaLaBrujaRoja - Thats what I was thinking. This was my comment: FOR MEDICAL REASONS I COULD NOT SHOWER* for about 18 months - I scrubbed my skin with a stiff pig bristle brush head to toe and just washed the smelly bits... Honestly, it works absolutely fine as is a totally viable alternative to showering. *I was getting 3 showers a day in very hard water and I developed a sensitivity to the water. I get a freezing cold quick shower now - but no soap for 10 years ------- The linen was probably doing a similar job - I spend MORE time scrubbing with a rough towel than I do getting showered.

@SlightlyCrunchyMama I love when Americans have 3,809,525 square miles to live in and only 6% of it is urbanised you all chose to live in the least habitable parts like swamps, deserts, and mountains. And then give the climate and geography as the reason you cant live without dryers, airconditioning, giant trucks,. Find a bit with a moderate climate and build some walkable cities for the love of God.

"I've heard so much badmouthing of Americans..." Well you do emit 2 to 3X as much CO2 per capita as Europeans but Australians dont get to diss you for that cos they are even worse, rotary clothes driers or not...

@apmanda Fastest growing cities in Am3ric4: Austin, Texas [semi deasert] Raleigh-Cary, North Carolina Orlando, Florida [Swamp] Charleston, South Carolina Houston, Texas [semi deasert] Sarasota-Bradenton, Florida [Swamp] San Antonio, Texas [semi deasert] Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas [semi deasert] Phoenix, Arizona [deasert] Nashville, Tennessee (Davidson County) Charlotte, North Carolina Denver, Colorado [Mountains] Las Vegas, Nevada [deasert] Jacksonville, Florida [Swamp] Tampa-St. Petersburg- Clearwater, Florida [Swamp] Atlanta, Georgia Salt Lake City, Utah [Salt deasert] Oklahoma City, Oklahoma [Prarie] McAllen, Texas [semi deasert] So sounds like you have no clue what you are talking about - out of the top 20 fastest-growing cities in the U5A in 2024 - only 4 are in easily habitable climates / locations. You know what else is bad in. the US? The education system.

@susanmercurio1060 - you dont know very much about the history of Florida then do you...??? The whole of Florida was a swamp, and it will be again in 30 years.

SWEAT ONLY REALY SMELS if you eat sugar and processed food, cut those out of your diet and your general odour level will drop dramatically
