Do you use a washcloth when you take a shower?

[terrya]

I don't.

[htuttle]

1. I recently started using a loofah

Not sure where I got the idea...just sort of popped into my head one day.

:evilgrin:

[joeybee12]

2. Just on my ears and neck area....

....I never see anyone use one at the gym. Are they relics of the past, you think?

[terrya]

8. I think they are.

Personally, I don't see the point in them. But to each his/her own.

[joeybee12]

30. My father--who is 85--always uses one, which makes me think

they were much more common in days gone by!

[RoeBear]

20. You should...

...bring a camera into the shower area of your gym and take pictures of each persons method. Then post those pictures here. That wouldn't be crossing any lines would it?

[XNASA]

3. I use a falafel.

:eyes:

[jeff30997]

A shower? What is that ?

:shrug:

[MissMillie]

4. Yep

And I still use bar soap too, not "body wash"

[kick-ass-bob]

7. They still make that?

:silly:

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. I use a falafel.

That's when I bathe, of course.

[XNASA]

13. I hope we're not using the same falafel.

[kick-ass-bob]

6. No.

Loofah.

That bastard!
:grr:

[Skittles]

9. no and I think they are kind of disgusting

but I have learned over the years that many a hairy guy feels they need them and if that's what they feel they need for their hygiene ritual then that's fine. I just hate seeing a gross, soggy washcloth ANYWHERE. They need to use a fresh one every time.

[MissMillie]

14. I use a fresh one every time

Same thing with the cloth I use to wash the dishes--clean one every time.

[Skittles]

16. oooooh I ER ..................................

my dish towels are about every three days - is that bad do you think? Lots of germs or something?

[Left Is Write]

34. I do that too. I go through a lot of kitchen washcloths and towels

that way, but there's nothing grosser than a smelly, baceteria-laden dishcloth. I wash all the dishcloths in bleach too.

[sniffa]

10. i use a sponge

i've aLso discovered the greatness, that is having someone eLse bathe you. here i've been aLL this time, bathing myseLf Like a sucker.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. I don't shower

Hippy!

[LiberalEsto]

12. what, exactly, IS a washcloth? nt

[Skittles]

17. it's like an itty bitty towel

like around 6" X 6" square, commonly used in the showers. In England when I was a kid and we didn't have indoor plumbing at grandmas she would give me a rough rubdown with a steaming hand towel.

[LiberalEsto]

38. We use our tongues..

just like the cats

:evilgrin:

[Tafiti]

15. I only use a washcloth...

...when I shower at someone else's house. I started using a loofah and body wash a few years ago - it seems to be faster. Obviously, using someone else's loofah is crossing a boundary, so washcloths do the trick at hotels or a friend/family's house.

[Cuban_Liberal]

18. Always. n/t

[underpants]

19. Depends on how feisty the cats are

:bounce:

Yes I do.

[BiggJawn]

21. No.

I have VERY rough hands.

For my back, there's the brush on a stick thing...(No, NOT my "backside", my BACK!)

[Shakespeare]

22. You NEED to use a washcloth, sponge, loofah or poof of some kind.

Why? To exfoliate the dead skin from your bod. Not getting rid of the dead skin is one of the main reasons for back acne!

[shanti]

28. not every day!

especially if one has sensitive skin.

[Shakespeare]

29. Well, you're not supposed to scrub yourself THAT hard with it.

And yes, gentle exfoliation is good every single day.

[shanti]

39. WELL

i do just fine with my hand and some liquid soap - clean as a whistle!

[jukes]

23. shower?

i thought that was the reason for patchouli...

[trof]

24. wire brush

What's with all these personal questions, anyway?
;-)

[barb162]

25. I don't

[zbdent]

26. Naw, I lick myself clean.

Wait, I thought this was another cat thread . . .

[shanti]

27. no, and

it is the common concensus that white people don't use washcloths! i have no use for them myself. they get stinky and my hand and soap get me just as clean. for exfoliating though, a nylon pouf works great.

[no name no slogan]

32. That's what I was going to say

As a white male, I typically don't use a washcloth. However, I will grab my wife's body-wash scrubby thingy and give myself the once- (or twice-) over.

And it's true what you say about white people not using washcloths. It must be a quirky cultural thing...

[shanti]

41. it didn't always used to be this way

i grew up with washcloths, but when i was on my own, i use my hand.

[arwalden]

31. Sometimes I Use A Back Brush... Sometimes I Use A Squishie...

... but only if I'm using a liquid body wash. Otherwise it's just soap-to-skin.

[davidinalameda]

33. I use one of those poofy things

but of course, I am a poofy thing so

[loudestchick]

35. I love the poofy thing...tee heee tee heee (girly giggle)

[scarlet_owl]

36. No, but I did when I was a kid.

[fluffernutter]

37. nope.

[auntAgonist]

40. yes.
