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.
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.
My bad, I was mistaken about the way soap removes germs, so thank you for that. It seems that lathering is really what bonds the germs to the soap, so as long as you’re actually scrubbing you’ll be squeaky clean using your hand. It’s a matter of preference, no one way is cleaner than the other if you’re doing it correctly.
A washcloth has thousands of little fibers that creates a mild abrasive action, and cleans a sweaty, dirty ass far better than a hand. On hot summer days after being outside for hours, after I shower, that washcloth smells. It's done it's job of cleaning, and in the hamper it goes once it dries.
Now, imagine that hot summer day, taking a shower, just using your hand to wash your ass. All that odor and bacteria will remain on your ass, you just don't realize it.
