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 know toasters are for bathing, but hadn’t heard circular saws were better for showers. TIL.
ඞ
you dont wear shower mittens?
the people on this federation, i fucking swear.
I lather up a washcloth and scrub that way.
That’s the way all our great-grandparents did it. But with a bowl of warm water.
Uses just a fraction of energy & water. With the abundance of cheap energy, affordable piping and heating became affordable for the masses.
I mean, I also use an actual shower for the rinsing and hair, I just use a washcloth instead of my bare hands or a bar for soaping everything up.
That’s what I thought, hence I mentioned the bowl of water. Which was heated with wood or coal which had to be carried manually… in buckets… Imagine that :-)
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 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.
We need to invent a slur for bidet-non-havers
Shit smearers
You bidetless purveyor of fecal particulate!
I don’t shower barehanded. I wear gloves at all times as to not scuff my jorts.
There are dozens of us!
Soap on hands; hands on body.
Yes, but whose body?
…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?
Shampoo
With a potato, in my anus…
With a potato, in my anus…
The same way you wash your hands
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.

I always wondered what it would be like to soak everything in Palmolive…
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?
There’s liquid soap, you know. Didn’t need to shove anything inside anywhere to stay clean.
Liquid soap is a bitch to rinse properly.
Define “properly”.
This is a common problem… You need to buy “body wash” from the supermarket or pharmacy. Not the “wash” from the body shop.
I actually wasn’t aware of soap bars before today. I only see those for hands, not the whole body. Reading these comments, I’m not sure if it’s more of a generational or cultural difference.
I lather everything on my belly and then spread it across my body.
Have you ever heard of shower gel?
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.
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.
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.
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.

That soap does what it’s told or it gets the hose again.
