There is no need for any accessory, unless you're not flexible enough to wash your own back, in which case you get a brush with a handle or something. If you *want* a cute accessory, just for fun, sure, go ahead. But they tend to get moldy and full of bacteria...

Yuck. Your hands will not adequately cleanse the gunk on your armpits, groin and ass areas, nor your feet.

I’m #TeamWashcloth. But anything is better than just hands and soap. That is the most basic thing I’ve heard in a while.

Not sure what "gunk" you have there, but it works just fine for the rest of us.

No ma’am, it does not work for you. You are not getting thoroughly clean. It’s fine to say you’re okay with the half-ass results from using your hands, but that doesn’t really “work”.

The gunk that builds on your skin includes deodorant, lotion, groin sweat and secretions, feces, dead skin on feet and elsewhere. Plus plain old dirt from the environment, especially you go hiking or do outdoor sports and activities. That nastiness needs to be scrubbed off.

Most dermatologists disagree with you. You aren’t supposed to use physical exfoliants in the shower or even run hard with a towel after. You have a mental hangup about this that is not based in fact. You were clearly taught that you are “dirty.”

Or they are using Elmer’s glue for deodorant

Alternate just hands and soap with soap and mesh loofah thingy. I hate using washcloths.

Unscented Dove bar soap for literally my entire life. With my hands, no washcloth or loofah. I'm 44.

Washcloths are a vile breeding ground for bacteria. But keep washing your bits with them.

OP you are an adult and do not know how to bathe properly? Were you raised by wolves or something? What a weird question.

1. I think the quality of soap matters the most. Lots of "body wash" type soaps just do not clean properly, IMO. I switched to Dr. Bronners a decade ago and I feel squeaky clean afterwards. I always use almond oil after so no dry skin.


2. Once a week I put on some exfoliating gloves and go hard from head to toe.

Thank you! Same here.
Soap should not be used in the inner parts of female anatomy.
Take the bar of soap in both hands, get some bubbles, take one hand and wash your bum and use the other hand to wash your hands. Voila!
