I use a wash cloth now a days as the poor man's exfoliate, especially on my face with special soap! I definitely use wash clothes but am very particular about them being clean.

I don't use a washcloth while showering. Sometimes I use one of those poofs if I am going to use body wash.

Nope, I don't use a washcloth.

My hands do just fine in the shower. I too have a POOF that I use if I'm using a body wash instead of bar soap.

I have these green scrubby towel-ish thing I got at the body shop. Otherwise I used a "poof" too.

I use a washcloth - and a clean one every time. Those poofs and anything that you reuse are gross! Has no one ever looked at one and seen the dried skin and soap scum in it?
I wonder if I could find any info online about how much bacteria and mold could be growing in one of them?

IA. If you need me, just meow..
Soap from a clean soap tray..
I can't stand anything on my face especially in water so I can't use a washcloth at all. I get really weirded out and feel like I'm drowning even if I'm away from the showerhead. I know I have issues...

I just wash my face first to avoid that.

I don't like water on my face either, it's the main reason I use a washcloth.


And yes, I think about and notice odd things that most people don't. I'm not sure if it's just my personality type or me, but I'm slightly OCD about some things. Rubbing old dry skin and soap scum on me when I'm trying to wash is one of those things that really grosses me out.

Nope we have that round scrubby/poofy thing that comes in lots of colors.

If we go overnite and forget to put it in our bathroom bag, we have to use the hotel washcloths and its a little weird to use them now

I am kinda OCD I like to smell good, but I don't think that the body washes do as a good job as soap. So I use a bar of soap on a wash cloth first. Then, I use a poof with a pretty smelling body wash that I throw in the washing machine when I do my towls at the end of the week. For my face I have to be really carefull what I use becasue I have really senstive skin and soap dries me out so I break out and anything with a fragrence makes me break out. So I have the wave from Neutorgena to wash my face.
