   I would hope they feel disgusting.  When I am traveling, I cannot take shower for 2 days and that makes me feel really disgusting.  Like I just want to dump into the shower first thing.

   Daily showers and the frequent use of chemicals (soaps, shampoos, washing up liquids) can damage the skins's own protective layer, that's why we have to use body lotions for instance. So if you don't take a shower once a week or don't wash your face, it means that you give your body a day-off.

   I think they would stink really, really, really bad! Yuck, and they'll probably get infections, like some else had mentioned. I can't imagine how awful the stench would be after six weeks without cleaning your crevices. Can you imagine how filthy ones nails would be?
   
   They could also, possibly, build up one hell of an immune system or get really sick from not washing off the germs we encounter in day to day life.

   Depending on the society in which they live in. Personally i wish i lived on an island alone, so i could walk around naked without being arrested, and be free, as we were created to be. Soap dries out your skin and really isn't all that good for you. You could go swimming every day and feel fine. Don't get me wrong, i DO use soap, but that's only because of the society i live in find's it taboo if i don't. I think you'd be fine without a shower for 6 weeks, if living in a natural habitat.

    Getting into showers is one way to get healthy body and one of the inexpensice therapies. A way of energizing your blood to the capillaries and increasing blood circulation throughout the body. Therefore, taking shower is normally recommended or else you would feel slow process of your body system. As a result, internally and externally your tired.!

    My guess would be that they would be very smelly. The kind of person you can smell coming along the path when they are still ten metres away and upwind. I have seen a few people like that. I was on a train in England once and suddenly there was this foul odor. This person had climbed onto the carriage at the far end and the wind outside blew the smell of them right through. They walked all the way down the isle apologising over and over again and then went into another carriage that was almost empty. As they walked past everyone covered their nose and mouth and one went into the toilet on the train and threw up. There were a few other green faces. Moments later the other carriage emptied into ours leaving the smelly unwashed person alone. Sad in some ways. I guess there was probably some kind of mental illness involved as surely nobody is so lazy that they would go that long without a shower.

    Three days is not a big deal, I know people who have curly hair that don't shower for up to a week unless they became sweaty/dirty, because they believe that the constant washing harms their bodies because it strips the body of all the oils.  Six weeks though is stretching it, that could become unhealthy, and lead to sores or infections.

    You'd stink.
    
    No Seriously this experiment like all would need conditions and procedures. Will the experiment mean any form of washing, i.e in a sink cleaning hands etc. Changing of clothes, using deodorant.
    I do believe that everybodies natural smell or prespiration level will be unique and that the nature of their activities would need variables  to be controlled or normalised in every subject or test.
    
    If you changed clothes every day washed sheets no engagment in physical activities including love making, or being in a surrounding likely to gain prespiration or other odurs from other people (but did not bath)  then i think you could not necessarly have a sever odur or too much of  a hygiene problem.
    After all we all have our routines or rules of when or why we take a bath. some people have 2 a day, and others have a couple a week or only bath when they physically smell or have dirt or other visible marks on them.
    
    The varying degree of when or why people have baths may not be known to a outsider but we can still make opinions or decide wheter somebodies hygiene is acceptable which can often be masked by things such as smart clothes clean shaven etc which doesn't give us a clear cut answer about whether they bath regulary.

    i knew someone like this. he showered very irregularly. i guess he thought because he worked from home, it was okay or really, i think he just didn't care. what i found is that it's bad enough on one's body, but what happens over time, like years with this guy, is that the grime from your body rubs off on furnishings, the sofa, pillows, bed, your car even, so it makes everything you own dank, stinky and grey. plus, he hardly opened his windows for fresh air, even in the summer, so needless to say, it was a very unpleasant envirnoment to be in.
    
    having clean water, let alone hot water, especially inside your home is a gift that most of the people living on the earth today don't have. so for people not to use it, i just do not get.
    
    someone mentioned smelling like goats after six weeks of no bathing and this guy actually did work with goats. to each his own, but if you have indoor plumbling that gets hot, i say, use it!

    When my X-boyfriend broke my femur I couldn't bath for 6 months!  I used lots of baby wipes and those antibacterial wipes as well and I was able to wash my hair in the sink whenever I wanted, so technically I did bathe, just not in standing water.  I also got a pedicure frequently.  In the beginning, it was horrible, but as time passed, I got used to using the baby wipes and managed, but when I was finally able after 5 surgeries over a year, to actually take a shower again, it wasn't that big a deal. 
    
    By-the-way. the X-boyfirend is in a mental institution and I'm showering often now!

    My wife and I live off grid.  I built our home from scratch.  Except for an enclosure below the water storage tank, where you could take a shower on a hot enough day without freezing too many body parts off, we had no bathing facilities for the first 3 years we were here.  During that time, except for a handful of showers taken at my stepson's place and two days of motel bliss one time--oh, and one naked-in-the-rain monsoon shower--I pretty much did not shower for three years straight.
    So yeah, I think I could survive six weeks without a shower, since I've survived as many as six months in the recent past.

    They smell bad and tend to get sick more often. Cleaning yourself washes off the stink and the germs and muck that causes it after all.
    
    Other than that...not much else. Seriously bathing and showering are relatively new concepts compared to several thousand years of existence.

    Hahah, you guys find it incredible that someone could go without shower for 6 weeks, but I shower on AVERAGE about once every 7 weeks, and have gone even 3 months without showering. Moreover, I change my t-shirt about once a month, pants once-twice a year, and underwear about every 10 days. I'm college educated, have friends and nobody tells me I smell, except my gay ex-roommate(he lasted both semesters so I guess it wasn't that bad).
    Oh yeah, and I only catch a cold once a year, no other fungal, viral or bacterial diseases everyone here's talking about. See, if I don't do any physical activity, I don't get sweaty, so it's not that bad. Also, my hair looks about the same whether it's 4 days or 4 months, not as oily as you would expect.

    Are you serious? They'd stink! Even after 3 days, it would be uncomfortable and depending on the climate they live in, they would probably end up with either a rash or fungus in certain more closed in areas of the body. But six weeks?!?!? I'm sure eskimos could pull this one off. They live in a cold climate and probably have to wait a long time, because of the cold to bathe. Not sure how long, but I'd say the climate would definitely play a part. I wouldn't want to be in the tropics trying out that experiment. Be blessed.
