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
My local supermarket sells these “exfoliating gloves” that you wear in the shower and basically just use like a wearable washcloth. They’re awesome.
Arc welding is my favorite shower activity. You need ppe

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?
I lather up a washcloth and scrub that way.
I use soap bar bags… I can’t figure out if that qualifies as barehanded or not
I wash myself with a rag on a stick.
You can also get shower brushes, mostly for dislodging dead skin cells…
I shove the bar of soap strait up my ass and just express the foam into my hand from there until I’m done.
Dat special scent from Yankee Candle
A yes, the Gere technique
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!
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?
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.
It’s soap. It’s self cleansing.
Yes, but think about the last thing I wash and the first thing you wash.
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
Shit smearers
Paperbacks
You bidetless purveyor of fecal particulate!
…I’m supposed to wear gloves in the shower?
Wait, are we not all wearing gloves?
I used to wear mittens in the shower but I changed to fingerless gloves around 2014 when it became the new trend. You gotta know how to stay cool despite standing in a hot shower. Go with the flow.
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.

Soap on hands; hands on body.
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 don’t shower barehanded. I wear gloves at all times as to not scuff my jorts.

This Arrested Development/Always Sunny cross over is exactly what I needed today, thank you both.
There are dozens of us!
Dozens!
The way this question was phrased killed me. lmao
The same way you wash your hands
Someone out there is rubbing the bar all over each hand and then just rinses. Knowing humans this has to be true for someone.
If there’s a betting pool I’ve got $5 on Florida.
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.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was wondering what on earth OP was taking about
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.
Maybe op has only used shower gloves and has now seen the light…
Liquid soap, problem solved.

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.
Bar soap feels much cleaner at the end. Also it doesn’t create plastic garbage.
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.
use a nail cleaning brush to scrub my butt
I always wondered what it would be like to soak everything in Palmolive…
There’s liquid soap, you know. Didn’t need to shove anything inside anywhere to stay clean.
Use beard as soap distribution hub.
I’d like to see you distributing the soap to the loin area of even beyond the taint.
By ‘I’d like to see’ I’m not really soliciting for pictures (moving or not), I’m merely enjoying the mental picture and it’s comedic implications.
Raises eyebrow…
For… science?
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.
This guy showers
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.

Now tell us about your business card.
What’s your routine for face?
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.
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 lather everything on my belly and then spread it across my body.
Not everyone has the advantage of a protruding belly to lather that soap on, you know.
If you have enough hair, I guess it’d be a rather good lather repository.
Hair makes good lather. I just lather my head with Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Moisturizing Shampoo, then rub the lather everywhere else, and rinse. Scalp and skin are different words for the same thing. (And no, it doesn’t sting on mucous membranes either. )
Worked hard for it!
