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.
Time to wipe

Wtf did I just watch… and why did I watch the whole damn thing!?
Same reason I did. If you figure it out please let me know.
This is wonderful
Personally I never shower.
Arc welding is my favorite shower activity. You need ppe
What if you only have PP? Where to get the E?

My local supermarket sells these "exfoliating gloves" that you wear in the shower and basically just use like a wearable washcloth. They're awesome.
I love these, it's the best of both worlds. You get the scrubbing and exfoliating of a wash cloth with all the ease and precise control of hands.
They're like $4 I highly recommend them to everyone.
I imagine they mean without a cloth, poof, or loofa. As a kid I would put body wash in my hand, lather, and rub it over my body. But it tended to use up soap quickly so either I had to add more soap part way through or the things I washed last didn’t get washed well. Which is why I switched to a poof.
A "washandje" of course!
Bonus for the Dutch speaking people.
That sounds like something you ask for at an unlicensed massage parlour
you dont wear shower mittens?
the people on this federation, i fucking swear.
Wash cloths?
I have some stupid questions from someone who rolls barehanded...
How do you get the soap to lather well when using a wash cloth? I tried it once but it didn't work all that well.
Are you supposed to use a new washcloth every time you shower? If yes, how many washcloths do you go through a week and how much does this add to your laundry bulk. If no, aren't you kind of grossed out by a used, wet, bacteria filled rag being rubbed all over you?
I once saw a post from someone not understanding how bare handers could possibly get clean from only using their hands. But...it's not like you use a washcloth when you wash your hands and no one is grossed out by that. Why are people then randomly grossed out when you apply that to showering? The action of soap with mechanical disruption, be it with your bare hands or a washcloth, does well to remove grime and bacteria.
To the OP, I lather in my hands with a bar of soap and then wash my body with my sudsy hands...going back to the bar of soap and even "washing my hands" often enough when necessary.
I use an exfoliating washcloth like this. It lathers really well. Scrubs off the dead skin and it's long so you can scratch your back. It air dries fast.
It lathers better than soap/hands for me.
Not I. I change mine weekly. Even if I did daily, they're tiny, so 7 would be about the same mass as a shirt.
Not anymore than rubbing a used, wet, bacteria filled bar of soap being rubbed all over you. Or used, wet, bacteria filled hands.
First time I heard of that. What is the advantage they have compared to just using your hands, besides the lathering abilities mentioned in one of the replies to this comment which is something I never had a problem with?
I wash myself with a rag on a stick.
I use soap bar bags... I can't figure out if that qualifies as barehanded or not
I lather up a washcloth and scrub that way.
