OT: When showering, do you use a washcloth?

[dogodisney]

This is one strange topic. Thanks for the laughs!

Friend went to the middle east once and she said they do not use TP and warned me never to shake hands with anyone if I went there!

My dad's from the middle east, and he said you "wash" with your left hand and shake hands with your right.

They (at least in his country of Turkey) think TP is gross. He also said that most people don't shower every day, so that's why they use hand and water or bidet after doint their business. My mom "taught" him that in America, you wake up in the morning, you do your business, then you shower, then you're clean for the day! My dad said "you mean all Americans poop in the morning?" And she said YES!

I'm a poof user, as I like more than just a surface clean. Dead skin doesn't come off just by soaping I would think.

 

[stinkerbelle's mom]

I voted yes, but I don't use a washcloth, I use a scrubbie-- or whatever those things are called.

 

[hucifer]

I use a washcloth with every shower. On the days I use a poof-thingy, I still use a washcloth to clean the nethers.

On the off-chance that I'm showering off-site without a washcloth and have to use my hands, I don't feel as clean...esp "down there," which is why I'm shocked at the number of people who don't use them.

I use a 'poof' thing. I can't imagine using only soap and no other washing 'implement'.

 

[Golf4food]

Neither - we use poufs...

 

[Angelhalo]

LOL OP, I think people are still checking no, if they use poofs or loofahs. methinks your data is tainted.

 

[bicker]

My dad's from the middle east, and he said you "wash" with your left hand and shake hands with your right.

Well, originally, it was "wash" with the left hand and eat with the right. That makes the need for the distinction even more evident!

 

[HollyJoy]

I voted yes, though I really don't use a washcloth, but one of those scrunchie ball things.. not sure what they're called! LOL

 

[pabsandme]

We are so not a washcloth family. I do use a loofah if I am using a liquid soap. We use washcloths in the kitchen. We like the designs and thickness better than kitchen dishcloths.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I sometimes soap, i sometimes use 'devices', but i always feel clean.

Wait, what exactly is the topic?

I'm sure the soap cleans just fine, as that is its purpose, but I'm not stickin my fingers up in my tushie to get it clean. I think that's what the poster is trying to say. Blech. Give me my poofy!!!!

I have yet to stick my fingers up my tooshie to get that particular orifice clean.

no washcloth - although i'll use the exfoliating gloves if i'm feeling particularly grungy....

For some reason I thought you were going to say something different than grungy. I don't even know what, but my eyes were like this until I read your last word.

Yeah, because that seems so much more appropriate??

I guess I truly am European. I'm not afraid to touch myself. Anywhere....

I'm so glad that I know that about you now...and where is the Tag Fairy!

LMAO, I wouldn't say I am afraid to touch myself anywhere but I see no reason to touch my pooper with my bare hand if I don't have too. Why is it any less appropriate than a washcloth? It's the same thing only one is mushy soft cloth and one is abrasive and sudsy!

Because wash cloths get washed after every use and poofies don't usually.

Now, TP or no TP??

LOL! Just kidding.........

Family cloth? And no, not for me.

 

[Angelhalo]

Yes but I already stated numerous times that MINE do get washed, so my question was based on that fact.

I have yet to stick my fingers up my tooshie to get that particular oriforce clean.

Well for me, in order to get the area between the cheeks clean, something must go in there. Just water trickling over my bum from the shower doesn't cut it.

 

[cteddiesgirl]

I would vote other. I don't use a washcloth, but I do use a shower loofah thing. (Isn't that what those net things are called?) I don't feel clean just using a washcloth b/c I like the amount of suds that the loofah produces.

I do not use a facecloth, but a poufie thingmacallit ...I use soap wash, not a bar, so this is great for it..

Me too.

I call it a scrubby thing. LOL

I have found only one soap I can use without breaking me out, and it's a liquid instead of a bar.

I do use a washcloth for my face, though.

 

[Kath2003]

I use a poofie thing but I only have a bath, no shower.

I got my boyfriend a poofie thing, he was very impressed by how soft it made his skin!

 

[bethie]

It's 50/50 right now.

Wow, didn't know how much trouble I could stir up!! I am always leary of getting in the shower and washing my face with the same bar of soap that washed, ahhhhh, other locations that belong to the hubster.

 

[DMickey28]

This is a very interesting thread.

I along with DH are soapers. I wash DS with a washcloth.

Sure I could wash my car with my hands but it would get the cleanest with the use of a rag. Same with dishes. I think that what folks are referring to - not that they're afraid to touch themselves.

I think you just made me a convert. That justmakes sense. I might have to run over to Walmart after DS wakes up AGAIN.

From what I've read about most of the posters, the poofies don't get washed after every use.

Well yes, something has to clean there, but it doesn't mean that anything has to get stuck up there. I'm grossing myself out now.

And I do usually use a washcloth for that particular area of the body, so I'm not the expert of what exclusive hand washers use.

I don't think anyone ever died from soap-sharing....

hahahahahaha well I didn't mean any kind of insertion!!! Just in between the cheeks!

OMG I am cracking up right now!! My boss just came out and gave me the craziest look.

No pun intended???


Now I'm thinking about ads for chewing tobacco...One pinch between the cheek and gums.
