How often does Rainbow Dash bathe?

[Astral Blitzen 469]

It's a random, question. But I ask because her mane and tail is so dishevelled unlike anyone else's' in the Mane 6 or is it just because she flies a lot.

[Moonlight 7,286]

I would probably say it's because of how often she flies and how fast she flies. Flying at such high speeds would leave any pony's mane looking disheveled. Plus, her hair-style seems to be rather aerodynamic so that's probably why it looks more disheveled than any other mane 6 pony's. 

[Astral Blitzen 469]

Yeah, that is very true.

 

I actually read a fic where RD didn't bathe for a week XD

Dashie bathes everyday, she flies though rainclouds. their nothing but water vapour. XD

 

Now Applejack and Fluttershy are surrounded by either dirt or animals 24/7.... i bet they might smell abit fresh if you caught them at a bad time.

XD that's true too. FS, the sweetest kindest pony, smelling like a zoo. Ironic.

[Pastel 7,630]

Haha , it's true we can't smell the characters, it would be quite surprising to smell Fluttershy.

 

As for Rainbow Dash, I'm sure she takes a bath everyday like the other characters.

[Astral Blitzen 469]

It'd be really interesting to know this, in my opinion.

[Serbon div 386]

Taking baths everyday is actually very unhealthy for the skin. Trice a week is enough.

 

OT: What Malinter said, she flies trough clouds all the time

[RED20 289]

I shower everyday, and my hair looks like that. Mainly because I'm too lazy to comb it. 

 

Also, it's cut that way, there's this special tool that textures it.

Those of you talking about Fluttershy, idk if you watch this series but .. I guess this part might be relevant

I think the mane is more for flying and not bothering to maintain it than not taking a bath

[The Peculiar Derp 193]

I don't know, she might prefer to keep her hair a bit unkempt. I know people like that. Also all the flying she does must mess it up. I think Malinter's theory might work, though.

Not often because Soarin' likes it when she glistens.

[CT-1138 3,182]

That's a bit of a personal question.   Though, it honestly reminds me of this picture, which implies Rainbow doesn't bathe nearly enough for her friends tastes.   

 

 

Anyway, as per the question, I'm going to assume she bathes daily simply because she lives in a cloud. I mean, when you live surrounded by condensed water particles, how hard is it really to grab a bar of soap and clean yourself? Heck, she could probably bathe in her own bed if she really wanted to. She probably just doesn't brush her mane or tail often.

Now, now, this is rather personal, is it not? You'd better hope Rainbow Dash doesn't fly through the screen and deliver a drop-kick.

[Malinter 3,064]

i'd imagine pegesi are clean all the time due to the nature of their wings, any grim or dirt and their feathers will be ruined and effect their flying ability.

[Shift 4,272]

She probably bathes all the time, but she just never brushes her hair properly.

[Something Floaty 1,334]

For some reason, this question evoked a mental image of RD, Fluttershy, and any other pegasi cleaning themselves like cats. 

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

She probably bathes all the time, but she just never brushes her hair properly.

My thoughts exactly.

 

Who needs grooming when looking awesome comes naturally?

[Golden Muse 15]

She bathes all the time. In awesome. Besides, who says ponies have to bathe? You never see them doing it.

[Brony Number 42 10,069]

Flying through water droplets does not make you clean. Being damp all the time would make you moldy.

 

Since we are talking about smells, I agree that Fluttershy would stink because she lives with animals. Maybe the others are too embarassed to tell her . I bet Rainbow smells like pot.

[RED20 289]

I bet Rainbow smells like pot.

Rainbow Hashed. (eh-heh-heh)

[DoubleRainbow_Dash 317]

I would guess at least once a week, but considering she works in the clouds all day she gets doused in rainwater quite a bit.

[Oblivion 20,267]

Well, considering she more than likely works out a lot, maybe after every workout or training session she just take a flight through the clouds to was the sweat off her self. Also she probably has a bubble bath at least 2 or three times a week would be my guess.

[Argumedies 1,748]

Probably a lot more often then most Bronys.
