Literal !showerthoughts

BleepBlip,

People who use exfoliating gloves and wash clothes are fine and all but it’s not like the majority of the world works in high viscosity grease factories. I roll bare-handed and never stink or feel dirty during a typical day.

sadreality,

I think logic for it is to exfoliate skin... Not remove grease.

electrogamerman,

Exfoliation is also bad if done very day. I usually exfoliate once a week

nobody_,

Those of you who shower barehanded.

Huh?

zero_gravitas,

Without a cloth or loofah, or whatever.

What I do is I take several guns and a baseball bat with me when I shower so that I’m never caught barehanded ever.

zappy,

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was wondering what on earth OP was taking about

ToastedPlanet,

It’s like interdimensional cable but for internet forums. In my version of reality, we get completely naked when taking a shower, not just our hands. We have these kind of lay-down-showers called baths too, but that’s a whole other thing. Also, the chemical element with atomic mass 207.2 g.mol ^ -1, which may seem like a useful building material, especially for shower pipes, is actually dangerous to life that is based on the chemical element 12.011 g.mol ^ -1. Figured I should include that in case OP’s reality hasn’t figured that out yet. In exchange, consider sharing something dangerous your reality has discovered that might not be obvious to us yet.

button_masher,

Maybe op has only used shower gloves and has now seen the light…

phar,

The same way you wash your hands

RedditWanderer,

Someone out there is rubbing the bar all over each hand and then just rinses. Knowing humans this has to be true for someone.

corsicanguppy,

If there’s a betting pool I’ve got $5 on Florida.

captainlezbian,

It’s soap. It’s a bar. I rub it on my wife then myself and then we rinse it off.

Lexaprofessor,

I, too, like to rub it on this guy’s wife.

corsicanguppy,

We all do, but don’t mess it up for everyone.

FederatedSaint,

I swipe the bar of soap between my butt cheeks like a credit card…

Yeah, Near Filth Cleaning (NFC) based placement requires too many 3rd parties.

dnick,

Soap over the main parts, and lather with that over everything

Astroturfed,

I shove the bar of soap strait up my ass and just express the foam into my hand from there until I’m done.

socsa,

A yes, the Gere technique

CmdrShepard,

I do this too, but I use the moves I learned during my breakdancing days to spin on my head and evenly distribute a layer of suds all over my body. It’s super efficient!

kemsat,

Both.

yoz,

Rub soap all over my body and scrub it down like a crazy mofo.

Imgonnatrythis,

Lather and hands. Unless you live alone shoving the soap leaves hair on it and that’s just nasty for everyone else to look at or deal with.

whenever8186,

Dealt with by simply rinsing it afterwards

@riskable@programming.dev avatar

But then what are you going to use to decorate the shower walls‽ No reason to pull your own hair out!

The drain hair is for cosplay wigs 👍

Imgonnatrythis,

You’ve never had to play a game of chase the pube around the soap bar. It’s a phenomenon physics has not yet found a way to explain, but rinsing soap with a pube on it just causes the pube to quantum jump to the other side of the soap bar.

To quote Chandler: “Soap is soap! It’s self-cleaning!”

realaether,

Isn’t soap technically self-dirtying since it’s supposed to get dirt to cling to it rather than your skin?

Willer,

pro tip: use water with the soap

riskable,
@riskable@programming.dev avatar

No. The point of soap is to reduce the surface tension of water so that grime, oils, and bacteria can’t stick around.

This is why the CDC recommends wetting before applying soap… Because the moment the soap propagates through the water (which happens extremely fast) is the moment microorganisms lose their grip. Applying (wet) soap beforehand reduces its efficacy.

Anything unsanitary stuck to or in the soap isn’t going to be able to stick around once rinsing takes place.

Also remember The Law of Conservation of Filth: For something to become clean something else must become dirty. The water is what’s getting “dirty” because of the soap.

happyhippo,

Liquid soap, problem solved.

doesn’t everyone use shampoo?? who tf uses a bar of soap for anything else than washing hands??

sebsch,

There is shampoo as soap bars in Europe.

I use it since it brings better cleaning results. There are also environmental reasons not to pack everything like shampoo into plastic. A soap bar comes with just a bit of paper around.

Double_A,
@Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Bar soap feels much cleaner at the end. Also it doesn’t create plastic garbage.

anarchyrabbit,

Me too. I kinda do it in parts. Like arms, torso, legs and fave. Then lastly is use a nail cleaning brush to scrub my butt. I like to think I have the cleanest butt in town.

Follow-up question: do you wash your feet extra or do you also think that the shower gel water below will fix that?

thisisbutaname,

Assume nothing, wash everything

I want this on a T-shirt.

MrScottyTay,

Feet need to be scrubbed, not rinsed.

When you take a bath you don’t just dip yourself for a bit and then get out

mrgreyeyes,

I’m 196cm tall. Do you know how far I need to go down to wash them? I trust trickling down soapy water will fix that.

kairo79,
@kairo79@lemmy.ml avatar

Man, maybe that’s it! I am 196cm tall too 🙏

Stoneykins,

You can get shower mats with brush parts. No need to fold yourself in half, just shuffle your feet.

Willer,

unfortunately shower mats are notoriously gross

Stoneykins,

Only if you don’t clean them in my experience, and they aren’t particularly hard to clean. Just give em as good scrub when you clean the shower.

Willer,

aint nobody got time for that

Willer,

plus tiny shitass shower

bugsmith,
@bugsmith@programming.dev avatar

I hope to never come in close proximity to your feet.

CmdrShepard,

Do you not have knees? I’m the same height and just bend my leg up to scrub my feet.

Y’all are nasty if you’re not scrubbing everything. Soap running down from above isn’t going to do much.

stagen,
@stagen@feddit.dk avatar

I’ve got really bad calluses so yeah I usually give them a good rough scrub with a coarse washcloth.

socsa,

If you don’t wash your feet then you are not allowed in my house.

Willer,

i wasnt planning on coming

kairo79,
@kairo79@lemmy.ml avatar

Are you asking all your guests before?

socsa,

Yes it is on the questionnaire, and the interview explicitly covers the definition of “wash your feet” we are using so there can be no confusion.

Willer, (edited )

Everything that is below my pp i dont touch. Never have in my life. I just dont get that dirty that often.

static_motion,

You fucking bet I scrub my feet. I rock climb and as most climbers do I wear my climbing shoes without socks, which also means they collect a ton of dead skin cells and sweat which makes them smell absolutely vile. I spray them all the time with a multitude of bacteria and fungus killing products, even wash them from time to time, but there’s no real solution. I just treat them as biohazard when not climbing. So yes, I make an effort to thoroughly scrub my feet to ensure they don’t retain the smell and to try to reduce how many dead cells end up in the shoes.
