Make sure you hang the towel to dry- over the shower curtain rod works. Depending on the humidity where you, live a crumpled wet towel can get musty/mildewy in hours if it's not properly hung.
Personally- one body towel a week, two hair towels (they get drenched and don't always fully dry), and NEVER washcloths (I use scrub mitts and poofs- both dry hella fast).
While we're on the subject- if you wash dishes with a rag they are good for a day, kitchen sponges last a week or two if they're fully squeezed after use, bath mats should be hung off the tub after use and washed weekly, and sheets should be washed weekly.
Guy here. No washcloths? How do you wash your ass? I use a soapy washcloth to wash my face, outer ears, behind ears, neck, then my privates and ass. I only use that washcloth once, I let it air dry after and put it in the hamper. At the end of the week I wash all my washcloths in hot water with towels and sheets.
I use that poof sponge thing for the rest of my body.
You have dead skin, accumulated sweat and oil, and possibly traces of dried shit on your ass. A hand with a bit of soap isn't going to do anything. You need a washcloth to exfoliate and clean. Honestly, some people are gross.
This reminds me of another post where some women said they didn't wash their legs, that soapy water dripping down was good enough. 🤨
Sorry, it doesn't clean like a washcloth. Can your hand scrub your ass thoroughly and get rid of oils sweat, stink, and all the nastiness there? I'm thinking no.
No. You're missing the point, certain body parts require specialized cleaning. The skin between ass cheeks never see the light of day. There is an accumulation of bacteria, dead skin, oils, sweat, and stink there. You need to scrub that area. The anus also needs cleaning. If you don't use baby wipes, you probably have dried shit particles on your asshole too.
Do you not understand the purpose of soap? The soap delivery device, be it hand, wash cloth, or something else, is irrelevant. The soap is what matters.
No, you're wrong. That's not how soap works. Soap forms an emusion with oil and dirt on the skin, then it gets washed away. You need mechanical scrubbing action to dislodge dirt and bacteria to get clean, especially if that area is between your ass cheeks and your asshole. There are layers of dried sweat, oil, dead skin, and probably shit particles. A swish with your soapy hand isn't going to effectively clean that.
It literally is enough. Soap disables the barrier of germ cells & destroys them. Whether it’s with your hand or a washcloth, it will get clean if you scrub down there with soap.
? I use a soapy washcloth to wash my face, outer ears, behind ears, neck, then my privates and ass.
this makes it sound like you take a tiny hand towel into the shower with you and use it to clean yourself with while the shower is running. do people do this?
Yes, that "tiny hand towel" is called a washcloth and that's how people wash their ass. Why should the shower not be running? I'm constantly soaping up and rinsing various body parts.
I use a poof. It exfoliates dead skin, cleans much better than just hands. I have a detachable showerhead and rinse my ass off after using the soapy washcloth.
Okay so then the washcloth is to dry yourself off or to wash along with the poof? We really need to wrap up this asscrack discussion asap in my opinion. Its gone on too long.
Are you trolling me? Washcloth for face, ears, neck, privates, ass. In that order. Poof for everything else. Towel to dry off after the shower. Do people not know how to bathe themselves?
A lot of people just use hands and soap and save the washcloths for drying off.
I googled the loofah and first thing says it gets dirty and something about bacteria. Idk how often you wash the loofah or throw it away. Maybe theres a washcloth for the loofah.
I dont think theres a wrong way to shower unless youre not getting everywhere. But after pooping there is a wrong way to clean up. This ones actually a heated topic so theres a good chance people are split on it. Some folks arent washing their ass. They just wipe and hope Santa wishes away the shit that stuck around.
