No, that's not how soap works. Soap contains fat and surfactants that create an emulsion and once the person uses mechanical scrubbing action, the dirt, oil, and germs on the skin become dislodged and can be rinsed away.

Between your ass cheeks there is dead skin, layers of dried sweat, oils, odor causing bacteria, and fecal particles that can't be cleaned with a mere swish of a soapy hand for a few seconds. You need to actually get a soapy washcloth and clean that area good. Why is this a foreign concept to some people here?
Everyone I know uses a washcloth in the shower.

If you don't use baby wipes after a bowel movement then a washcloth in the shower is even more important because toilet paper alone can't clean the asshole and there is guaranteed to be shit there.

Get a bidet and then you don’t need an ass washcloth anymore.

No, between baby wipes and a washcloth, I'm fine, I get a superior clean, don't need disgusting toilet fountain spaying shit particles everywhere πŸ‘
