People are so sold on the you are disgusting and smell and only buying product will save you.
Personally I like a shower every day but saying that I haven't bothered with soap or shampoo for maybe the last 5 years. I also don't bother with deoderants. Strange though it may seem people never notice and are happy to sit next to me and give me hugs etc.
Lots of stinky people actually wash very often. If I was smelly I'd do something about it too.
