How About No

That doesn't even make sense.

 

[TheUzukiLives]

Irish Spring has that really strong "this is a product for MEN!" scent.

It's the only time of the day I feel manly.

Wash rag



People in here just use soap? No rag or loofah? How the hell do you wash ya ass?

Answer is.....

 

[Shadybiz]

Bar of soap for most of the body.

Washcloth and soap for the bum.

I don't use bar soap in the ass. That area is sensitive. I use cetaphil. Drying that area out is risky for skin infections. I just put some liquid soap on my hands and wash out the area. No need for rag or loofah. The soap collects bacteria and grime and rinses away in water. Even if you use a bar, the layer of soap that collects the grime and bacteria just washes off.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

I just use a bar of Dove Shea Butter on myself.

With a detachable shower head.

 

[Switch Back 9]

Bar of soap. The cloth/loofa thing is gross. Just a giant, moist sponge for bacteria to call home. Shit is nasty.

 

[Skelter]

I love this thing.

 

[Aces&Eights]

Loofah with Oil of Olay 7. Stuff smells so good and cleans even better. Skin shiny but not oily.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I rub my hands with soap vigorously, then I shove my hand up my Crack and clean as every stroke reminds me that I'm alive.

Ladies?

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Members of the 21st century use scrunchies.

You can lather a scrunchie with a wet bar of soap, if your deal is not wanting to use liquid. I know, surprised me too.

 

[livestOne]

washcloth

then I wring the washcloth out and dry myself with it

haven't told anyone about this yet am I doing it wrong?

 

[Cyframe]

I mean, I can tell the difference between just using a bar of soap and using a scrubbing item, I feel better using the latter than the former. I've always used either a washcloth or a loofah. I also have a separate item to clean my face with.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

With a loofah and soap or body wash. Using just your hands and a bar of soap seems weird.

 

[RoboPlato]

Loofah with body wash. Feels nice and gets me clean

 

[D i Z]

I honestly couldn't tell you, OP. My eyes are usually closed when my bathers cleanse me, and they have a delicate touch.

Some people like to put their mouths there, hand with soap + water stream is a bit more hygienic IMO.

 

[norm9]

Bar of Zest and my fingernails.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

A loofah or a washcloth irritates my skin too much, and I don't like the idea of using it on more than one body part -- just collects skin and other crap. Hands are the way to go.

Lather soap in hands. Apply lather to body. Rinse off. Use soap to wash hands. Repeat.

 

[Kayo Police]

Unless you work on a farm you don't need to use soap.

Someone explain this to me. I always use soap... was I doing it wrong this whole time.

 

[D i Z]

Well ok then prince Akeem

People don't wash their asses around here, and I'm wrong with my hygienic habits?

 

[totowhoa]

When I was like 7 or 8 I thought loofahs were for your body and wash cloths were flossing your crack. Anytime I slept over at a friends house and they offered me a rag for my shower, I declined. I didn't want to put their towels in my butt.

To answer the OP, loofahs only these days 👍

 

[Affeinvasion]

Water is actually pretty effective at removing dirt and oil from your skin without drying it out or affecting the pH balance of your natural skin chemistry. That being said, I still use a dove bar when I shower because I like how it smells.

 

[Famassu]

Sponges, loofahs, whatever are actually bad for you. Just using your hand to scrub yourself clean is enough.

 

[How About No]

How About No

That doesn't even make sense.

Of course it doesn't make sense, he's ascended beyond our terms and norms

Smell that? That's that smell of being free of our soapy coil

 

[Klotera]

I was a bar of soap and bare hands guy for most of my life. Never cared for using a washcloth. However, I switched a few years back to a loofah and body wash and never looked back. Lathers up so much better.

Edit: Also, less soap scum on the shower door and walls with body wash vs bar soap.

So you don't wash your butt?

 

[hockeypuck]

Bacteria love feasting on the dead skin cells trapped within the loofah netting. According to this research paper, it takes over 2 weeks of drying out a loofah to substantially decrease the bacterial counts. Otherwise, regularly bleaching the loofah was recommended. Neither I suspect many people actually do. I guess you can microwave it, but that wasn't mentioned. Too bad the paper didn't follow up with a comparison study versus bar and liquid soaps alone.

I don't...lol...my little microscopic buddies make me stronger

See!

All you loofa nuts...

And you just rub the bar of soap up and down your crack. Like a man.

 

[DrSlek]

Flannel washcloth for the face, bar of soap for everywhere else.

Why did this make me laugh

 

[Nickle]

I use a loofah for my hair and hand soap for the rest of my body.

 

[Biske]

I mean... it doesn't go IN the ass...

 

[ponpo]

I fill my bathtub with water, put some liquid soap in the water, then get naked and twerk in the tub then rinse.

 

[lastplayed]

High pressure water is enough for me. I use left over shampoo for under my arms and that's about it. I don't really get that dirty or sweaty.

 

[Escape Goat]

Nikki Minaj is that you

Pls respond

 

[Hashmal_Bringer_of_Order]

My hands and shower soap lol. All that other shit is way unnecessary.

 

[The Lamp]

I mean... it doesn't go IN the ass...

The skin around the anus and ass crack is still sensitive and prone to yeast and other skin infections because of the sweat and heat. It's good to avoid to irritate that area.

Can I jam the shower head up my ass and turbo it

Literally never had a single problem...

not even remotely.

My asshole is a man.

 

[MadJackChurchill]

Hands. Loofahs always become gross. Tried a rag for a while but my skin is delicate as snow.

 

[Blitzrules240]

I shower completely nude.

 

[tiebreaker]

liquid soap and hands. Sometimes not using any soap depending on how clean I feel that day.

 

[Avixph]

I fill my bathtub with water, put some liquid soap in the water, then get naked and twerk in the tub then rinse.

That's disgusting.

 

[Xe4]

I just use liquid soap or body wash (which is really fancy liquid soap) on my body with my hands. Anything else is just a fancier way to do the same thing.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Wash clothes seem so...medieval to me lol.

 

[Phu]

I use those Salux nylon scrubby wash cloths. They feel nice and helped to drastically reduce acne.

EDIT:

I love this thing.

Yeah, these things.
