Do you use a washcloth? What race are you?

I was just talking with a friend (I'm white, she's black) about this and she was shocked, SHOCKED that I don't use one. As a kid I kept "an emergency washcloth" on the bathtub ledge in the corner for when I got shampoo in my eyes, but that hasn't happened in YEARS. Decades really. She said everyone she knows who's black uses a washcloth in the shower.
Do you? If so, what race are you? |

| I'm AA. I have two washcloths. My parents raised me and my six siblings to always use 2 - one for your face and one for your body. I was in college when I first learned that white people generally do not use washcloths and I too was SHOCKED. hope this helps. |

I'm Caucasian. I sometimes use a washcloth on my face in the evenings, I don't use one in the shower, just use my hands to lather up soap and shampoo both.
I use a washcloth on DD during her baths. DH does not use a washcloth during his showers, but uses one to fully wash his genital area after bowel movements. He's also Caucasian. |

| Caucasian. Always used one growing up. As an adult, I use one of those nylon scrubby things. My kids use a combination of washcloths and the nylon things. |

It's not a race thing.
I'm white. Grew up using wash cloths, then poofy mesh balls. My husband, also white, always uses a washcloth. |

Ditto. Are washcloths a racial thing? |
