A 27-year-old woman has sparked a lengthy debate after she took to Twitter and admitted that she only showered 37 times in 2022.
Aella, a top earner on OnlyFans, left her fans shocked after telling how often she washed her body.
Responding to a fan who asked about her hygiene routine, she said that she tries ‘not to disturb my natural skin microbiome too much.’
Aella claims that she doesn’t smell bad at all, thanks to a ‘microbiome’ balance, which is a collection of fungi and bacteria living on the body.
“If any random person who shampoos daily, stops shampooing, their hair will be horrible and greasy. But if you are persistent and careful, your body adjusts,” she wrote on Twitter.
“But this isn’t perfect, and different ppl have different kinds of bodies, with different activities and sweat levels. I *do* still do maintenance to handle getting stinky in between showers!”
The 27-year-old said that she doesn’t use soap on her armpits as it seems to result in body odor.
“I usually scrub hard with a wet washcloth, and then put on deodorant, and this works great. I also use a bidet, and wash my genitals often,” she explained.
Aella also said that she doesn’t use lotion as she lives in a humid area.
But fans left divided, with many expressing their concerns while others sent messages of support.
One person wrote: “I don’t shower often either and agree. Plus ever since I started washing my hair infrequently, texture and volume have significantly improved.”
Another said: “Our nervous system has evolved to become progressively less sensitive to a stimulus, the longer it persists. You smell, girl. You just can’t smell yourself.”
A third said: “Is it not possible you’ve just gone nose-blind?”
Someone else added: “I showered maybe ten times in 2022 and don’t stink. Obviously I change into clean clothes and wash my hands/face more often but showering daily is completely unnecessary and makes you smell worse.”
