In an unexpected twist, a group of women on TikTok have come together to admit something many of us secretly feel: they absolutely dread bath time. Not only are they sharing their dislike for the chore of bathing, but they're also opening up about the effort it takes to maintain proper hygiene. Let's dive deeper into this fascinating trend.

While some women just can't stand the idea of stepping into the shower, others struggle with the additional tasks that come with staying clean, like moisturizing. This growing trend has sparked a wave of relatable reactions from women all over the world.
Why Do Women Hate Bathing?
Society has long emphasized the importance of personal hygiene, especially for women. Showering regularly is often seen as non-negotiable, and smelling fresh is always expected. However, this unspoken rule seems to apply differently depending on your gender. Men are often excused for skipping a shower or two, even if they end up smelling like last week's leftovers. Meanwhile, women face judgment if they don't meet these rigid standards.
