I’m a hairy guy. So it doesn’t matter. But if I use bar soap, I’ll just rub it over the major areas first, then go back and lather. If it’s body wash, I just squeeze a pool in my hand, and use my chest hair to create the lather, disperse to rest of body.
That soap does what it’s told or it gets the hose again.
Both, hard to shove soap on your back, easy on your belly
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?
I soap up my hands and then wash every part of my body and reapply soap when needed. I have a scrub washcloth with handles that I occasionally use too.
I shower twice a day at about 5 minutes a piece. Once shortly after waking up and again in the evening either shortly before bed or immediately after working out. First up is shampoo my hair. Then I wash my face with a bar of soap by lathering my hands and then scrubbing my face. Then I use conditioner in my hair. Then I use the bar of soap directly on everything except the nether regions and feet. Those are washed like my face by just heavily lathering then vigorous scrubbing.
Nice excuse for softcore
both depending on area and what I use for cleaning (body wash vs soap)
For the longest time I used my hand lathering with the bar first, then realized using a washcloth works much better.
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!
Isn’t the soap that touches the body ablated by friction with the skin?
I personally use the Turkish oil ass grab method, super easy to clean and grab.
Is this something I should Google, or…. maybe I shouldn’t?
You totally should look it up
I ain’t takin googling advice from someone named Mcballs1234
This seems like sound logic 👍
Lather and then I go “wax on, wax off” all over myself. Relather as I go.
Gross, who uses bar soap in 2023? Shit just smells bad
I lather and then spread it around though. My hands are clean because, y’know, it’s a shower and I’m using soap
Another bar soap user. And they don’t smell bad. Not sure what you’ve tried. Liquid body soap feels like it leaves a layer on my skin. Bar soap doesn’t do that.
Btw, your liquid soap is more watered down than a bar of soap. And bars are less expensive.
Granted, different bar soaps will have different smells. Like any soap, there are multiple brands and multiple fragrances to choose from. I’m sure there is a gross smelling bar soap out there lol.
You know there is bar soap other than name brand stuff, right? Currently getting my bars from the local farmers market. Bergamot and whiskey barrel is one of the most euphoric things I’ve ever smelled
I’ve never heard anyone complain about the smell but I also don’t understand why anyone would use bar soap in this day and age. Do people just like having dried out oddly sticky skin?
I honestly don’t get why you would even have body wash as a separate thing … shampoo is perfectly capable of washing everything.
Gotta use the Dove original beauty bar, at the risk of sounding like a shill it’s seriously the only bar soap that doesn’t leave your skin feeling all weird and sticky
I have been using Dove for a long time now. Recently I have been thinking that it moisturizes too much. I wish I could find a bar soap that moisturizes like Dove but maybe half as much moisturizing.
I’ve not yet gone down the interwebs rabbit hole to find it.
I’ve been really liking Aleppo Soap. 3 ingredients: olive oil, laurel oil, and lye. I find it moisturizes just enough, and doesn’t have that weird smell that Dove has.
I’ve found the same, although I’m sure other good ones exist. Just haven’t had a reason to try them.
Used Duke Cannon for a while, liked them too but frankly I’d much rather pick up a pack of soap when I’m shopping than have to worry about ordering some online.
I’ve seen Duke Cannon in lots of brick-and-mortar stores.
I see them here and there, and occasionally still pick them up when I do (love the fragrances), but unfortunately it’s usually at shops I don’t frequent or as a seasonal end cap.
Edit: highly recommend their solid cologne too, nice scents and it lasts forever
Solid cologne?? Ok now I must Google. Never heard of such
It’s great. I don’t use it too often, only really when I’m going out, but I’ve had the same container for 3 or 4 years now and it’s maybe half gone. Think it cost me maybe $30 shipped?
I alternate between Dove and Caress both leave my skin nice and smooth; I’ll occasionally use a gel but they feel like they leave a layer so I don’t use them much.
Bar soap is actually a lot better about moisturizing your body now than it used to be. It’s also a lot better for the environment and creates a significant less amount of plastic waste than liquid soap. And it tends to last longer than a bottle of liquid soap.
I’m sure you could use shampoo to wash everything. But it does have different moisturizers and oils and additives then soap for your body does. And that can make a significant difference to some people
I buy bulk shower gel, in 5L containers and have used the same 1L gel pump for 3 years so far. Much less waste.
I only have paper waste you still have plastic waste.
To be fair, I’m a bar soap user…and while the bars are individually wrapped in cardboard, there still is usually plastic overwrap around all of the cardboard boxes of bars.
What kind of soap do they sell where you are??? It sounds super gross and I’m not surprised you think it’s weird people use soap.
But plenty of soap is nothing like that.
Uh, I use bar soap and it doesn’t smell bad. There a loads of small, cottage soap makers who are making really great (and great smelling) soaps. I just prefer those over body wash or whatever.
Bar soap needs to be cleaned/washed after use or it can become dirty/micro-organisms can develop on it.
The thing is that it’s in the shower, though. So even if this is an issue, it is for sure going to get wet again before you use it. “Soap is self cleaning.” - Friends
$10 of bar soap lasts longer than $50 of that gel stuff.
Tell that to my Kirkland body wash that I’ve had for what feels like over a year.
There’s more bar soaps than ever. You can even get special hair shampoo and conditioner bars or shaving cream as a bar
Depends if it’s someone else’s soap or not.
