…I’m supposed to wear gloves in the shower?
Wait, are we not all wearing gloves?
what gloves
Fancy lady gloves with lacy cuffs.
How are you supposed to thoroughly clean your butthole?
My butthole is self cleaning.
If you ever do check that theory for its veracity, you moght be surprised.
With a potato, in my anus…
Shampoo
who shower barehanded
There is another way…?
What? What kind of heathen doesn’t have a pair of heavy duty work gloves for showering? Am I the only civilized one among us?!
Personally I never get in the shower without my circular saw
I imagine they mean without a cloth, poof, or loofa. As a kid I would put body wash in my hand, lather, and rub it over my body. But it tended to use up soap quickly so either I had to add more soap part way through or the things I washed last didn’t get washed well. Which is why I switched to a poof.
you dont wear shower mittens?
the people on this federation, i fucking swear.
A “washandje” of course!
Wash cloths?
First time I heard of that. What is the advantage they have compared to just using your hands, besides the lathering abilities mentioned in one of the replies to this comment which is something I never had a problem with?
Anywhere skin-on-skin contact occurs (butt, balls, armpits), I use a small amount of benzoyl peroxide facewash. It kills the bacteria responsible for BO and for 24-48 hours body odor is impossible.
You apply it, wait 5 minutes and rinse well. If you don’t rinse well you can bleach your towel or clothes.
As far as body soap goes, I use a a fragrance free body wash with salicylic acid. Heavy mechanical exfoliation is not necessary when using a chemical exfoliant. Also, loofas are just a bunch of plastic waste.
After the shower, I use a lightweight gel moisturizer with cerimides. I use a thicker moisturizer on my hands and weenis.
That’s just the body. I–of course–have a completely seperate routine for my face.

Now tell us about your business card.
How do you learn all this? Could you also explain your face routine? I’m taking down notes here.
Watching skincare youtube channels and going to a dermatologist.
My face care is a lot. I’d encourage you to find your own products and routine, but I’ll list mine as an example:
Daily Mornings:
- Wash face using a gentle face cleanser (usually in shower, after washing /conditioning hair)
- Niacinamide ointment to minimize pores
- face specific moisturizer
- eye creme around eyes
- Mineral sunscreen (re-apply again in middle of day)
Daily before bedtime:
- Wash face with gentle face cleanser
- Exfoliate face with lactic acid ointment (once per week: sub stronger AHA/BHA peeling solution)
- Every other day, always skipping peel days: Adapalene (retinol) gel for wrinkle reduction
- Niacinamide ointment to minimize pores
- face specific moisturizer
Everything kinda has a purpose, so if you have questions please ask.
You can use an actual luffa if you don’t like the plastic. Originally they were just a dried out squash like plant.
Yeah, but the truth is it’s not great for your skin.
However, they’re great for scrubbing really dirty hands, feet, etc.

3% peroxide shouldn’t be applied directly to the skin and its time to kill is 3 minutes.
benzoyl peroxide isn’t hydrogen peroxide the same way ethynol alcohol isn’t isopropyl alcohol.
I just rub the shower gel bottle over myself. It’s lasting me ages
Watch out for Big Soap! They don’t want the people to know your one weird trick!
I mean, yeah?? I just put the soap wherever it needs to go??
The soap isn’t dirty folks. Half of the time all I’m showering off is sweat and dead skin cells anyways. And if any bugger dares reply to this with some clever comment about taint smears, I’ll inform you beforehand I do not speak with bidet-less miscreants.
I mean… doesn’t the soap get washed as you use it to wash yourself?
It’s soap. It’s self cleansing.
Yes, but think about the last thing I wash and the first thing you wash.
Exactly
Same here, I use a washcloth. When I was single, I always used just soap but then I got marries and the wifey forced me to use a washcloth. I’m divorced now and continue with the washcloth ritual.
I answered the wrong thread, maybe I’m getting drunk?

That explains your username.
I just set the shower to massage setting and then point the end at my asshole.
At least you understand the need for a bidet even if you’re suffering from bidet inaccessibility
We need to invent a slur for bidet-non-havers
Paperbacks
You bidetless purveyor of fecal particulate!
I use liquid soap so going via the hand makes the most sense to me.
I shove the bar of soap strait up my ass and just express the foam into my hand from there until I’m done.

I don’t shower barehanded. I wear gloves at all times as to not scuff my jorts.

Lather my hands and hit my crevasses.
I had forgotten the context of this post and your comment made me very uncomfortable.

That isn’t any more reassuring.
Reminds me of an ancidote I heard from a diver. Whenever they went to the bathroom they would just go underwater, and the fish started to learn this. Especially the angelfish because of their slim design…
Diner right from the source! Hope they like corn!

I just put shampoo on my head and t-pose
That soap does what it’s told or it gets the hose again.
Isn’t the soap that touches the body ablated by friction with the skin?
That’s the idea of soap, yes. It’s how we get lather.
Right. So, I don’t get why it should matter where, exactly, the bar of soap goes.
Soap on hands; hands on body.
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.
How can you tell that you “come out cleaner”? I don’t exactly have motor oil all over my body or anything when I shower.
Barehanded as opposed to what? I just rub the bar of soap all over and Robert’s your mother’s brother.
Came here to ask the same question. Like, do you wear gloves in the shower? Or maybe they take a sword with them?
I assume they’re talking about using a washcloth or loofah, but I’m not sure as I’m also a committed bare-hander.
There are actually washcloths that are gloves ._.
“Robert’s your mother’s brother” – I’m stealing this, thank you
Ya’ll ain’t using a washcloth with your soap? 😬
Washcloths are not a thing in my country. I wouldn’t know where to buy one.
A what?
