How do you wash yourself?

[Kathryn]

Bar soap/body wash/other?

 

Washcloth/sponge/pouf/loofah/your bare hands/other?

 

How often do you use a clean or new applicator?

 

There wasn't room for other on the poll! And "loner" on the last choice should be "longer."

OK....I'll admit, I have no clue what you mean by applicator. Am I the only one??

I think she means the washcloth/sponge, etc.

[nukeswife]

I have a pouf and bodywash in the shower which I'll use about once a week for a good exfoliating scrub on my legs, arms, back. Most days I just grab the bar of soap and use my hands to wash. Yep I'm a cavewoman that way. LOL

 

ETA: While I don't get new hands daily (I'm assuming that you mean washcloth/pouf/sponge/hands when saying applicator) but I will throw the pouf in the wash every week to 10 days or I'll toss it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

[melissel]

I said body wash, but really I use Dr. Bronner's (which I use for just about everything), so I'm not buying special body wash. And bare hands--I hate floppy washcloths/escape-prone sponges etc.

[amo_mea_filiis.]

Bar soap and clean washcloth every morning. When im done showering, i wipe the tub with the washcloth, so i only use it once before washing. When i get out, i toss it right in the washing machine.

[KidsHappen]

I use a non anti-bacterial soap and a wash cloth. New wash cloth each time. I think the soap washes away dirt, oils, sweat, etc. and the wash cloth exfoliates the skin.

[frugalmama]

It depends why I'm washing. If I'm washing because I'm physically dirty, I use soap and my hands. If I'm washing for for religious reasons I use just water and my hands.

[Mergath]

Natural bar soap and bare hands.

[Ellie]

I think she means the washcloth/sponge, etc.

Oh, well, in that case, I get a clean washcloth for every shower. I bought one of those big bundles of white washcloths from Sam's or some such place, and we all just get clean ones for each bath/shower.

[Kathryn]

Sorry, yes, I didn't know how else to refer en masse to what you use to put the cleansing agent on your body so I chose applicator.

[Tap]

Soap or bodywash

Washcloth, pouf, barehand

Longer than a week for a pouf (I rinse it really well between uses, and only I use it). Washcloths are daily use only.

Well, you are a bright one. :D

:lol: All I could think of was....tampon.....:confused: (in which case...yeah, I'd use a clean new one each time). But, that didn't really make sense. :lol:

[helena]

I only use Dr Bronner (unscented) on the important parts. ;)

I also use a face cleaner with a hot cloth (Liz Earl).

 

Other than that, I don't use soap or wash my skin. I do shave my legs and underarms... that's got to count for something?! :tongue_smilie: I usually take 2 short showers a day (mostly for my achy bones and spinning mind).

 

If I've done something to get very dirty I'll use a wash cloth and a liquid soap my girlfriend brings me from Europe (she swears they're better quality). But, this rarely happens.

 

Sometimes I wonder if this is weird or gross. But the proof is in the pudding! I'm clean, smell nice, and my skin is very soft.

[Pretty in Pink]

Washcloth/pouf/longer than a week (whenever the poufy thing starts to fall apart I replace it). I only wash my face/pits/lady parts/feet. The rest of me just gets a rinse. I have really sensitive skin.

[Hilltop]

I voted bar soap (Trader Joe's oatmeal) and bare hands. My treat to myself after I go for a run is to use some expensive bath gel with a pouf.

[kalanamak]

I use my bare hands and no soap. Yes, I wash my hands before eating, cooking, examining people, and (given how filthy where I work is) before AND after using the bathroom at work (most people do). However, for my body, I wash my hair with shampoo and that is it. For decades. If I have actual DIRT on my shins or forearms, I use shampoo on them, but everything else just gets a daily rinse. No one has complained.

[bnrmom]

No soap, no body wash, bare hands.

[Jpoy85]

I mostly use a Shampoo Bar and wash my hair and body with it with a Loofah.

[Shellers]

I use a bar of soap and a fresh wash cloth. I also use a fresh towel. No reruns.

[Shellers]

I mostly use a Shampoo Bar...

 

I love my shampoo bar!

[LaxMom]

Kiss My Face shower gel / loofah / longer than a week ('cause I'd go through loofahs like a mad woman otherwise).

[Parrothead]

Bar of soap with scrubbing salt in it and bare hands.

[Jpoy85]

I love my shampoo bar!

 

Where do you get yours from? I have ordered off Etsy, but lately at our Farmers Market there is a vendor there.

[amy g.]

I use sugar scrub in bare hands for face and body, then use a bar soap with a shaving brush to shave, and use shampoo and conditioner bars for my hair.

[Ohdanigirl]

I use either soap or body wash. I usually use one of those puffy things, but have a loofah for knees, arms and neck. I wash these, after each use, while still in the shower and hang them to dry. If they become haggard, they get tossed.

[justLisa]

I started making my own body scrub, so I use that. I keep it in a mason jar in the shower. I use my hands and one scoop concentrating on my legs because after I shave I have MAD ITCHING DISORDER :lol: . Though I have to say it is worlds better after I stopped using anything store bought.

[WillametteMom]

Bar soap -- Dove sensitive skin unscented -- and bare hands or washcloth.

[Mrs Mungo]

I use facial wash and a washcloth on my face. I use a pouf and body wash for everything else. If I've been walking around outside and barefoot, then I'll use a washcloth on my feet before I go to bed. I use a clean washcloth on my face every day. I wash my pouf about once a week.

 

So, I voted multiple times.
