A TikTok user has ignited a heated online debate after claiming women do not need to shower as frequently as men because 'women don't smell'.
Jac Anderson, who posts under the handle @jacanderson, shared her controversial views in a video that has since been viewed over a million times. She argued that women instinctively know how often to shower, sometimes every day, sometimes every three days, but insisted it was 'disgusting' for men to go more than 24 hours without showering.
'Women don't shower every day, and they don't have to. We shower when we're ready,' Anderson said. 'But it doesn't matter because we don't smell and we don't look dirty, and also we're saving the planet by doing that.'
The video prompted a flood of comments, with some agreeing and others insisting everyone should shower daily. One user wrote: 'I've always said that it takes a girl ALOT to actually smell. A guy… literally one day.' Another countered: 'That ain't facts. Honestly no judgment but I love showering and don't see it as a chore.'
The debate highlights differing views on personal hygiene routines and gender stereotypes around body odour.
