Body wash and shampoo are the same thing?

Bar soap gets gross. And it's slippery. I drop it. >_>

Take soap, apply soap to wash cloth, apply wash cloth to skin.

Never tried body wash. I'm kinda old fashioned.

I seem to be one of the only people here that actually uses soap.

This does not surprise me in the slightest.

My body wash makes me smell like Ireland. I'm skeptical though.

But I drop it in that process. And it still gets nasty because it's a lump of frothy lard.

Rinse it off after.

I try to sometimes use bodywash, but I still prefer bar soap. Bodywash is ridiculous expensive comparatively. Poufs aren't rough enough and have to be replaced too often for my tastes. I just use a wash cloth with soap. I can scrub harder with a wash cloth. Most of the time with a pouf and bodywash I just feel like I'm lathering up my body, but not actually cleaning anything. I still use them from time to time, but more for being frilly and smelling good than for getting clean.

BTW... the people who are unaware of the man pouf... It's the Axe Detailer Shower Tool! RAWR IT SOUND SO MAAAANLY!!! God that's so lame.

What is this pouf nonsense? They're called loofas, people.

[Rase]

Also, wtf is up with these new MAN POUFS!!? Seriously. People like Axe have to make a manly version of the pouf with some sort of extra rough crap and tire textured rubber/plastic thing. I guess what pisses me off is that there is a market for such a thing because there are guys out there so insecure they wouldn't be caught dead with something called a pouf. It has to be a Man Scubber™ or some similar BS.

Regular loofas aren't good for cleaning balls.

Nah, I use soap, but it's dove which is apparently the girly bar soap.

Bar soap makes me feel scummy. I feel like I need to take another shower. :/

No. They are called "shower thingies."

[rubah]

I've never been able to get shampoo to lather up like body wash/soap for shaving

No. They are called "shower thingies."

Or the things to avoid because people probably put them up their butts.

A million times this.

There is a huge difference.

This is a loofah (luffa).


A loofah is actually made from a plant and is rough as hell. These are great for scrubbing and exfoliating.

Luffa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



This, on the other hand, is a pouf.


It is very soft and frillly. It builds lather very well and much better than a loofah, but is too soft to really scrub anything. There are other versions that are a little better, but since the pictured kind has become popular, these others are harder to find and still aren't as good at exfoliating as a loofah.




This is a wash cloth.


It holds the best properties of all of the above. It can build a moderate lather especially with bar soap. It is rough enough to scrub and exfoliate, but not so bore a hole into your epidermis (see loofahs). It is also easier to wash and less prone to mold than both poufs and loofahs. Also, it is considerable cheaper and so you could regularly just dispose of these and repurchase in bulk so as to never worry about mold or any other such issues.
