I use a soap bar, and just scrub my body with it. It does the job.

To quote Chandler: "Soap is soap! It's self-cleaning!"

It’s soap. It’s a bar. I rub it on my wife then myself and then we rinse it off.

Follow-up question: do you wash your feet extra or do you also think that the shower gel water below will fix that?

Lather first

Also, a lifehack: if you have body hair, you can lather soap onto your hands and then just move them through your body hair

This allows you to generate tons of soap foam with which you can wash EVERYTHING

No one in here uses a loofa?!?

[–] TurtleLife@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Loofah all day! I will even take a loofah on trips. Just never feel clean without it.

Lather and hands. Unless you live alone shoving the soap leaves hair on it and that's just nasty for everyone else to look at or deal with.

I swipe the bar of soap between my butt cheeks like a credit card...

My shower has different cycles like a self serve car wash. I just move the dial to the appropriate setting and go from there.

I always start with that bubblegum-scented foam brush.

Lather up by rubbing bar on hairy bits. Use hands to rub everything down with lather.

I just use my chest hair, I feel like if I use a washcloth I’ll smell moldy without realizing it

[–] Veltoss@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

WTF? Why would you smell moldy? Would you not wash the cloth? Do you think people who use wash cloths aren't washing them?

This thread is a disturbing trip.

[–] Wraith25@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Your telling me you use one washcloth per shower? If you don’t how are you letting that dry?

It’s the same argument as the people who have the washer dryer combos. They smell like mold homie. You don’t smell it. I do.

Look up the green "Asian body scrub" cloths. They're next level wash cloths that exfoliate, dry fast, and are washable. Bonus, they're super cheap. I swear by them and can't ever go back to other scrubbers.
