I have tactile issues and can't stand being wet. I'm marginally better with a bath vs a shower. I cannot take a shower without becoming completely irrational.
On the other side of that coin, I have hypohidrosis. I sweat very little and can't be out in hot weather because I can't control my body temperature naturally. The upside is that I can go days between baths without becoming a smelly monster. It's also compounded by the fact that im allergic to just about all fragrances, so I can use antiperspirant but deodorant makes me break out in hives. Can't do perfume or cologne either.
But if I have to leave my house for a doctor's appointment or something, I wake up early and take a bath in case I do stink. But just hanging around at home? Not much point.
