I remember watching a black comedian many years ago and his bit started “Why don’t white people use washcloths?”, and it got me thinking. I started using washcloths and noticed I came away cleaner, soap on a hand doesn’t cut the skin oils and dirt like soap and gentle abrasion can. I also noticed, because I’m hairy, that I get lots of ingrown hairs, especially on my legs. Switched to one of those “poofs” and now I vigorously scrub my hairy bits and no ingrown hairs. Exfoliating helps.
Use a washcloth and don’t forget to brush your tongue, you filthy animal.
I don’t exactly have motor oil all over my body or anything when I shower.
Then you’re not doing it right! I know the vegan motor oil is supposedly the best for your skin but I prefer the synthetic stuff. The process is Exon, Exoff.
How do you clean your ears, bellybutton, toes? And hopefully in that order. Some stuff needs extra attention, and some people have different skin types than you. Go scrub out your toes.
I actively try not to get soap in my ears because it will clog them up. I use an “ear syringe” to occasionally rinse out my ears with slightly preessurized water only.
Huh… I’m a huge proponent of brushing your tongue (it doesn’t take much, just a brush with a scraper on the back makes a big difference). I’ve never really tried washcloths, but now I’m going to give them a shot
On the flip side, my skin is weird. I get hives for literally no reason, I tried one of those plastic poofs and it makes me itch like crazy.
A lot of mouth bacteria lives on your tongue. Any dentist will tell you that cleaning your tongue is an important part of oral hygiene, even though it’s often overlooked. Doing it really helps with keeping bad breath under control and generally healthier teeth.
The Asian body scrubbers are next level exfoliation. The best part is they dry super fast and are washable. I used to use the poofs but they retained so much dang water and weren’t washable.
Soap on hands; hands on body.

That’s what the pressure washer is for. Takes the human skin right off!
They don’t properly clean those areas, they’re just gross

Soap bar bags are the superior option, they save you money too
You are correct.

Huh?
Some toothbrushes have a tongue-scraping thing on the opposite side of the bristles.
I guess I didn’t know that was necessary. What’s the reasoning?

Yes, but whose body?
