What is the nature of Polish people's hygiene?

Lodz_The_Boat:

On a more serious note:

I shower everyday in the evening after having a 120 minutes excercise :). I use soap all over my body, twice. First I rinse strongly, then wash away :). Second, I rinse solftly, then wash away :).

I use the best shampoo. A little ... everyday. Applied once... :)

I carefully apply soap at every part of my body. Nothing must be left alone, otherwise its injustice to that part!

I use much water.

I use towels... terry!... I got two... so that when I wash one (once a week), the other is clean and dry to be used :).

I always use soap to wash my hand.

I carry an clean handkercheif :)

I use good, clean, beautiful toilets. My toilet is only mine... no one to share it with :).

I use toothpaste to clean my teeth :), I also use tooth brush.

I shave everyday, and then use anticeptic after shave.

I wear only clean cloth. My cloth must be clean everyday. One pair of cloth for oneday only, not continue it the second day :). One pair of cloth in home too... same rule applies.

SO........

KEEP YOURSELF CLEAN FOR GOOD HYGENE!

goldie87: what is the nature of polish people's hygiene? Natural. I.e., close to nature. Ecological.

Some have good hygiene and some don't. To elaborate a little, I haven't encountered the foul-smelling people that so many others complain about on here.

Maybe that's because I have never been a regular user of trams here. I had a stint at a company where I had to get the tram there but found medium-grade aftershaves and perfumes wafting around me. Certainly bearable :)

I think the reason Polish people don't wash is due to the fact water is expensive and cosmetics are hard to get hold of over here without a permit.

delphandomine: No really, It seems to be the case. stiff face joker he is, this delphandomine ;) some just don't bother to take a daily shower, some wear their clothes a bit too long(like changing their socks every week ;), it might not be disastrous during say winter but gets foul in summer

Try public transport in the UK..I actually got off the bus half way through my journey a couple of months ago because my eyes were watering because of the wif! Strangely enough it wasnt a Pole that had seated themselves next to me! Not unless he'd spent a considerable time on a sun-bed! gumishu: it might not be disastrous during say winter but gets foul in summer Trust me even in winter the bus can smell like old man pants in the UK...they crank up the heating and the windows are stut it can be even worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about the poop? It's stuck to their underware because they were out of toilet paper then they walk around town in poop smelling clothes. then you sit on the bus after them, then you smell like poop.

goldie87: what is the nature of polish people's hygiene? Bród powyżej centymetra sam odpada We usually wait until dirt grows up to 1 centimeter. After that he fells off by himself. Ya know, saving water and stuff ...

Strangely enough it wasnt a Pole that had seated themselves next to me! Not unless he'd spent a considerable time on a sun-bed! I got 20% through that and just new it would end with a racist comment. Probelm is its true. i havent met many smelly people in Poland.

Wroclaw Boy: smelly people How can that depend on race? There are people who are just not keeping good hygene. And that can apply to anyone, from any race. :)

KEEP YOURSELF CLEAN FOR GOOD HYGENE! I do something along these lines but I do have a friend who seems to think taking a daily shower is strange and the use of antiperspirant and aftershave is somewhat homosexual, he seemed shocked at the amount of toiletries in my bathroom. I have noticed that a lot of people here do shun personal hygiene and quite a few people seem to dispute the existence of antiperspirant not all but quite a lot seem to, Old people in every country smell of urine though.

It's really hard to say, Greg. You will only ever get a sample which is not representative. It can't descend into a national hacking contest based on rough impressions. Some are stinky and some aren't in almost all countries in the world. When was the last time you heard of a national hygiene ranking? I haven't taken a bath for a long time now (largely because I don't have one). Ooh, that bath in Vilnius was super. Lovely hotel :)

Lodz_The_Boat: How can that depend on race? In order to answer that youd have to witness it for yourself, try visiting the UK and walking within established Asian communities.

Now that's noticeable. The Indian and Pakistani communities in Scotland consistently reek of sweat.
