Do You Use A Washcloth in the Shower?

Of course not! I'm not an animal. I use a bath pouf.

Nope. Bar of soap and my hands. Wash cloths and loofah are germ factories

Yes, I always use a fresh one.

No, I don't want to rub bacteria into my skin. Like above, hand and soap - good to go.

It seems as if those who have posted thus far have gone out of their way to avoid saying "loofah". We are on the frontlines of the war on loofahs.

Don't use a rag?? How are you scrubbing??

No - they are mildew and germ factories unless you bring a fresh one in every time - and 99% of people do not.

You aren't THAT dirty - we aren't working in a mine. No need to scrub off layers of dirt - soap and water work just fine.

I use a mesh cloth that I've never seen for sale anywhere. I got it when I was a teenager in a bag with a water bottle and those grippy hand exercise things. It's great for shower gel. I also use a washcloth specifically for my bum-parts.

Yes...must be white and a fresh one every day

[quote]No, I don't want to rub bacteria into my skin.

Dead skin holds bacteria. Skin on skin is not enough to exfoliate pits, or nether regions. Even nurses use disposable washcloths to bathe patients.

Yes. White washcloths only. Only use once, then let dry and wash in bleach.

Anything else is disgusting.

No. If I’m using soap I just use that. If I use shower gel I have a pouf.

My dermatologist told me to order 30 washcloths and use a clean one every day, which I do.

He told me a story of a husband and wife that shared a washcloth and his plantar's warts, which he tried to snip off his foot before he got in the shower, ended up on her vagine because they shared a washcloth. Moist warm environment and HPV don't mix! She thought he was having an affair and gave her HPV! Problem is, he didn't have HPV on his dick, he had it on his feet! My doc was an witness at their divorce trial! Yikes!

If your soaping up a wash cloth,and then rinsing it out,isnt that like washing it ?

R13 Plantar warts can not be transmitted sexually. There are over 150 strains of HPV, and the strains that cause vaginal and anal warts are distinct from those that cause plantar's warts.

Also the strains of HPV that are spread via sexual transmission are ubiquitous in the adult population of the US. If one has been sexually active, then one is more likely than not to carry sexually transmitted HPV.

R14, they don't use soap love. As R7 said.

I use a special designer Oompa loofah.

I wash myself with a rag on a stick.

Yes, I use a clean washcloth with each shower. I get it wet and rub my face to exfoliate, then I put some deodorant soap like Dial, or a Gel, on the washcloth and wash my pits, then I wash my privates, then my ass. I do not use the washcloth again. Always use a fresh one. You can get packages of 8 at Target or most places like that inexpensively.

When you wash dishes, do you also use your hand to spread around dish soap? No. Doing so would be disgusting, just like using your own hands to lather up your body is weird. Without a washcloth, you're just rubbing the dirt around your body. There's nothing there to remove all the day's sweat and germs.

And don't even try to suggest rubbing the bar of soap around your body. Then you've corrupted the soap. Congratulations, you are officially the gross roommate.

A washcloth does exactly what it promises. It is a cloth that will wash you. It's in the name! Use it, or be forever doomed to a life of half-cleanliness. Your friends will smell you, tales of your odor will live on and you will die alone.

Dataloungers have extremely poor hygiene; thread after thread has proven that.

How dirty do you all get? I haven't used a washcloth in decades, and I smell like a gardenia blossom. You people sound smelly.

What is a shower?

There’s already been a thread on this op.

There's already been repeated thread after repeated thread on this OP. Why did you find it necessary to come here and start another? Why? Why OP? Can you give us an intelligent, honest answer? Can you? Why would you come here and post this kind of shit yet AGAIN when there have already been so many prior threads on this EXACT same subject. Do you really think this is that damned interesting that it warrants another entire thread to be started? DO YOU??

Why couldn't you have done a search first OP? That would have been the polite thing to do. What you demonstrated was just plain selfishness. You have shown that you don't think about anybody but yourself. It's all about you and your own satisfaction. Next time before you post, do us all a favor and do a search. We don't need another duplicate thread just because of your laziness.

This is a race-bait thread. FF & Block OP

Body wash users and no wash clother-ers are not my kind of people. I shun them!

[quote]Nope. Bar of soap and my hands. Wash cloths and loofah are germ factories

WTF??? Wash cloths are tiny pieces of cloth that take up so little space when doing laundry that you simply use a new one each day.

You can buy a pack of a dozen white wash cloths at Walmart for a few bucks. Use a new one every day. They'll make it through a few hot wash cycles before falling apart, then buy another dozen. Someone upthread mentioned a similar pack at Target.

I use one on my face and to squeegee my body before toweling off.

Very rarely in the shower or bath.

I keep a big stack of white washclothes and use them (single use before laundering) to scrub my face a couple times a week. Otherwise, hands + body wash + friction + rinse.

Do you use a washcloth to wash your hands? Is it really cleaner to use a germ attracting cloth to push around soap? Body wash seems much more hygienic.

R31 How do you apply body wash with your hands and not with some type of scrubby - either a cloth or a loofah or a sponge or ?? How do you lather it on your body?

R20 - I'm not baking food on my body or putting meat, vegetables, oils and grease on my skin either. That's a stupid analogy.

And if I only eat a sandwich, then yes I will do a moderate swipe of the plate with my hand and soap and water. I don't do a hard scrub.

Sounds like most of you are using a washcloth like a loofah - but you don't need to scrub off the skin cells that often.

A dermatologist I saw on national TV said to NOT use soap all over your body, just the hair, face, pits, groin and feet. She said just the water is enough on the other parts especially if you have dry skin, she said it was unnecessary and we scrub far too much. Besides, why do you all use bar soap? It is the nastiest thing and makes a big filmy soap scum mess all over the place, this is 2020 please use body wash and step into the modern world.

R35 - the argument about body wash is that it has a high water content and a waste of money. Just throwing it out there - I prefer body wash as well, but that's the counterpoint.

A bar of soap isn't so disgusting so long as it's not, say, the Brady Family shared bar of soap.

I prefer body wash, but it is rather a lot of money to spend for something that's mostly water in attractive packaging and branding, priced at a premium to not smell like cheap whores and funeral parlors.

If you wash a surgeon scrub up before surgery, he does not use a washcloth. He scrubs his hands together vigorously in a soapy lather. No washcloth needed or required. If scrubbing lather into skin with a hand is good enough for surgeons who are about to slice open a patient's body, it's good enough for me.

*watch* a surgeon

A washcloth is something my grandad used to have a 'face, pits and bits' wash with in the sink daily, a bath every Sunday and religious holidays. As a modern man, a squirt of shower gel daily is the norm, and is exactly the same for very man I've ever shared a shower with.

r38 Small hand and nail brushes are also used when scrubbing up for surgery. The surgeon then dons gloves. That, I believe, rounds out your recitation.

Body wash is gross. So femme and leaves a residue. No one wants to smell perfume except white trash flyovers.

Of course I use a wash cloth. I was not raised in a cave. I was raised right.

I used to use an immigrant, but now with Brexit in the offing I suppose I’ll have to slum it and use a washcloth. I won’t like it, though.

Shower?

Where I live it's $3.97 for 18 washcloths from Walmart.

Use a new one every time, wash in hot water and when it starts looking tired (4 -5 washes) gets retired to dishcloth/dustrag duty, and then tossed.

I like the Japanese nylon scrubbers; they dry so quickly they're not meant to harbour or proliferate bacteria, as conventional cloth. I wash them in the machine.

I don't exfoliate or scrub every time I shower. On days I wash up rather than shower, I'll use a flannel, but only once. I only use towels twice.

I use an Exfoliating Face Body Wash Cloth made of nylon for my face. It never gets smelly or seem to hold bacteria. Not the exact one at the link but similar, they are available on Amazon if you Google "Exfoliating Face Body Wash Cloth". I throw it in the laundry when I do whites but doing so doesn't seem to make it any fresher.

I use a sponge for my body and a separate sponge for my ass.

R36 Not only that, but also that it's technically a detergent, rather than real soap. Unless someone is buying Castille, or other liquid organic soap, he's using the same petrol-based chemicals that are used in washing up liquid, or laundry detergent... simply in a highly diluted state. Not anything I want to be using, no matter the scent. There are many preservatives in these body washes which are toxic.

Use a washcloth in the shower? You might as well use used toilet paper to wash your face.

Blimey! THIS lot of fookin poofs! You'd 'ave cried your buggerin eyes out had you my hygiene! A fookin bath four times a year was extravagant!

No washcloth. Shampoo for my hair and skull and ears, soap for the rest, then towel off paying particular attention to the inside and outside of my ears and a few other parts, and that's it.

Use a wash cloth once a week to exfoliate, and hands the rest of the time

[quote] Use a washcloth in the shower? You might as well use used toilet paper to wash your face.

Yes because you obviously couldn’t possibly have a separate cleaning device for your face. R50 also has been forced to make a choice between cleaning the bathroom and cleaning washing the dishes.

I use those nylon scrubby gloves and love them. I throw em in the wash every couple of days and they don’t disintegrate.
