Former OnlyFans star explains why she only showered 37 times last year

A former OnlyFans star has explained why she only showered 37 times last year.

First of all, you're probably wondering why she knows she showered precisely 37 times last year.

Well, she used an app called Dailyo to track all kinds of daily activities, and the results make for interesting viewing.

Being a good sport - and a former porn star, as well as a sex and relationships writer - Aella wasn't afraid to share her rather private results on Twitter, where they have been viewed more than 7 million times.

Her post showed that she drank alcohol 118 days last year, had sex on 63 days and was sick on 14 days. She worked 137 days and pooped on 194 days.

However, there was one stat that stood out among Twitter users - Aella showered on just 37 days of the year.

Of course, a lot of people shower on a daily basis - or more than once a day - so the fact she averaged a shower every 10 days raised a lot of eyebrows.

Commenting on the post, one person said: "37 showers is so insane to me. I shower twice a day and many days 3 times in the summer or just bc I may have been running around. You stink. You have to."

Replying to the comment, Aella said: "if I showered that often I would stink! disturbs my microbiome."

She added: "I try not to disturb my natural skin microbiome too much. if I shower too often I seem to stink more!

"I regularly use a bidet and spot-wash my armpits and genitals tho."

So what do we reckon folks, we having that?

If you're not convinced, you're not alone, so in a bid to make sense of the seeming smelliness, Aella went into more depth about how she showers infrequently but apparently doesn't stink.

She tweeted: "my guess is there's some kind of microbiome balance going on; I first noticed this once when I went camping, and then after I got home and showered with heavy duty soap, found that I stunk *way* worse the next day.

"i wouldn't be surprised if showering is following the same kind of principles as going no-poo for hair; 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.

"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!"

She continued: "I am careful not to use soap on my armpits, because that seems to increase the smell; 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.

"I find my scalp tends to get stinky if I sweat but don't have a way to air out my hair immediately afterwards. So after exercise, I loosen up my hair and scratch the scalp a lot to get airflow. Times I don't do this, I get really stinky.

"I don't use any body moisturizer. I live in a humid area so this helps, but also I don't like having products to build up.

"I do wash my face and brush my teeth daily, wash my sheets 2x a month, do mostly normal hygiene otherwise."
