Upgrading to a Loofah is like when you first try boxer briefs and realize.. "OHHHHHHH" and never look back.

Luffa (sometime use the luffa gloves) and African black soap.
This!!
Korean washcloth is the best of both worlds. It's pretty much a luffa untangled. I never knew what they were at first my first when I was in korea. l just thought it was a really bad hand towel. That shit will change your life. It makes it so much easier to wash your back than using a scrunched up ball.
Wtf. That would be really bad for the sex life...hell, cuddle life would suffer too :/. If I did that my wife would go mad lol
A woman of taste, clearly.
I use Dove Men+ Care everywhere as well and my girlfriend loves it.

Plastic loofas? What's that?
Do you also use that black toothpaste?
If she hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed...except in certain regions smh.

How do you lather liquid body wash up enough with just your hands, I have to use a shit ton of it just using my hands, and I never feel like an got clean enough doing it that way. If I use a cloth or loofah I squirt a dab and it lasts the whole shower.
Bar soaps leave my skin all squeaky and I hate that feeling, like a balloon being squeezed feeling. People cleaning their ass with just bar soap, do you toss it away afterward?

Washing with your hand? Stop it slime. Grab yourself a white wash cloth and be amazed.

Huh, you learn something new every day. Today I learned how important wash cloths are to some people.
I use liquid soap and shampoo. Rub that all over and rinse with detachable shower head and hands. Works great. I usually go with a top down approach with head being shampooed first and rinsed. Then the body with the soap.

Never tried that. The black soap definitely helps my skin.

A long-ish loofah-washcloth hybrid (dunno what they're called but it's synthetic and very coarse) and body wash once or twice a week.
Bar soap directly on the skin when I'm in a hurry. Which is most days.

Here's what I wanna know: do you rub the soap on the washcloth and then use it, or do you keep the bar in the washcloth while scrubbing your body?
Why would you keep the bar in the wash cloth? For added grip? I just rub the soap on the towel then later it with my hand and start washing.
Don't you lotion?
I love little differences like this in such common things, it can massively divide different people / cultures / countries. Like when I found out about Canadian bagged milk.
Shower gel and hands, that's all you need.
Alternatively locate partner, lather partner with shower gel, lather self on partner. Rinse, repeat.

Wash cloth.
Washing your ass and dick/balls with a loofah doesn't feel right to me.

there is something wrong with you
In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Wash cloth for face, loofah for the rest of your body.
And let's not forget the age old wisdom of turboing your asshole.

Absolutely hate the way loofahs feel. I don't feel clean when I use them. Always use a good washcloth and soap.
My girlfriend and I are shower every day people. Twice if I do anything that involves physical activity.
Good god. I don't do anything else other than washing. People think I'm still in my twenties despite being 34.

Bar of soap.
So you wash your ass w/ your rag/loofah?
I dont use any kind of shower aid, just the soap directly onto my body. If any part of me is particularly dirty (from yard work or something) I will use a loofah to scrub. Nether regions I just put body wash into my hands and take care of it, then wash my hands. Seems to be the most sanitary way.
Even if you ignore the bacteria, it's still not good for you to use anything else but hands & water. Even excessive soap usage & wrong kinds of soaps are bad, since they destroy natural fats & the good kind of microbes that are essential for a healthy skin.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.
