If you don't shower at least once per day, you are stinkier than you think you are.

How often you need to shower depends on many factors, including skin type (dry or oily), age, gender, climate, activity level and body chemistry.

Young, active men who live in a hot climate probably do need to bathe daily. The rest of the population, can probably get by with less.

Also, a shower is not the only way to get clean. A quickie with a wash cloth will do nicely when time or water availability is an issue.

Tip for people struggling with oily hair. The more often you wash your hair, the quicker it will become oily again as your scalp desperately tries to replace the oil you keep stripping from it. Less frequent washing with a mild shampoo and using dry shampoo on the hair (not scalp) to make it look/smell better will help.
