Unshowered

Adjective describing a person, or sometimes a thing, that has not undergone the process of showering. This usually implies a lack of cleanliness or personal hygiene due to the absence of washing with water and soap. The state of being unshowered often indicates that the individual has not recently cleaned their body, leading to potential body odor, accumulation of dirt, and a general feeling of being unclean. It is a descriptive term primarily focused on the physical state resulting from a lack of showering, not necessarily indicating a moral failing or judgment of character.
