I'm a victim!

Let me explain:

I bathe like a man. I shower with soap. I wash my hair with shampoo. That's it. No wash cloth. No loofahs. No girlish little puffballs like my wife has. I rub the soap between my hands and apply the lather or rub the soap directly on my body. Then after I'm done, I wash as much unidentifiable hair off the bar as possible so my wife doesn't beat the shit out of me. :)

That is until recently. Noticing how many man soaps now come in liquid form, I tried that little puffball(called a bath net). I must admit I liked it. At least until I got to my genital area. It was a bit scratchy for my liking down there. But after a few days and few more uses, I became hopelessly addicted. They're tingly. I now have my own bath net on a stick. I call it Guido. That's to partially make up for the fact that it's pastel blue. :p

Now, however I see the trap. Don't use the bath nets, guys. They'll get you. Resist! Don't become an addict like me. In fact, I am beginning to suspect they are a part of The Gay Agenda. *eyes narrow*

I bought my husband a bath net. He refused to use it forever, until one day we were in the shower together and then he was like "oh, wow! it's tingly!" and so now he uses it, but won't admit it, because he thinks it's girly......or somesuch.


I currently have one that is black on one side and white on the other, the white side is soft and the black side is scrubby.........very useful.

Here (http://www.truerenu.com/TR/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=100)

the same type I used for years... and it works with those liquid body soaps. AND it give a much better scrubbing than those bath net thingies.

dunno about that one. but I saw one for shampoo.

the typical woman in an outdoor shower, then shots of her flinging her bouncy hair around, and then she hands it off to this tough biker dude who looks at the shampoo with a puzzled look on his face.

then a shot of him stepping out of the shower doing the exact same thing with his long hair that the woman did. the commercial ends with the stunned look of two other biker dudes...

I don't use steel wool, nor would I recommend it to anyone concerned with hygiene. Open bleeding wounds across the entire skin layer really lets in a lot of pathogens. Not to mention that soap generally stings cuts.

I bathe the same way as the OP used to.

What the fuck? Why are men always so goddamn afraid to do something that could appear "girly" in nature? The only reason men are proud to be men is because they were born that way. If they were born to be women, they'd be proud to be women.
Those are shitty reasons.
Women don't tend to fear engaging in "masculine" activities, but men everywhere seem terrified of being accused of engaging "feminine" activity. This seems like latent misogyny, and its time to stop feeling proud of it just because you've got 2 billion other guys who feel the same way.

Soap, indeed. Real men use the natural astringency of their own urine for all their ablutive needs. If the great designer had not intended us to bathe in our own urine, he would hardly have provided such a convenient hose for it's application, now would he? Intelligent design, that is.

I for one believe you.

I hate putting soap in my mouth, so instead of vile Toothpaste, I use Tooth Powder. It is made in Japan, from burnt eggplant and sea-salt. It says on the packet that eggplant is very Yang.

And no, I'm not making this up. I use Tooth Powder. It is black as soot. In fact, it IS soot.
I've used soot before to clean my teeth but it was real soot from a fireplace and it was due to a very drunken dare.
iirc my teeth were clean afterwards. Taste of soot in my mouth took a while to be rid of though.

I really do have two serious questions.


Where does one get the connection from "liquid soap" -> "poofies"? I've bene using liquid soap for, uh, 5 years now, I think, and I still use it the "apply to hand, rub hand onto body" way just the same as I did with soap bars? Did I miss something?


Are those poofies really cool? I've noticed them every once in a while in a shop, but I never paid them any attention.. I mean, what do they do.. I mean, I do get clean they 'usual' way, you know.. is it 'just' that they feel good?

* when I am inbetween poofies (as you call them) I use the liquid soap with a washcloth, and it works fine.

* it makes the soap lather more and they also slough off dead skin so you feel softer when you get out of the bath.

you can pick a cheap one up for like $1 you should try one, I really like them.

Although I do admit that I'm one of those people who are very easily grossed out as far as "OMG bacteria!!" goes, and I don't know how long I can handle using one of those, and I don't think I'll go and buy a new one every week or so. Well, I don't have a microwave I can use for it, but maybe I could just throw it in with the laundry.

Actually, the principle is the same as toothpaste. A fine abrasive combined with a detergent.

Soot from a fireplace may contain some really bad tars. I'd think rinsing that out would be a good idea, just like toothpaste or toothpowder.

LG, you do not bathe like a man. You bathe like a big girly-girl.

Soap, indeed. Real men use the natural astringency of their own urine for all their ablutive needs. If the great designer had not intended us to bathe in our own urine, he would hardly have provided such a convenient hose for it's application, now would he? Intelligent design, that is.

Another principle I had to be carefully introduced to. Honestly, I didn't know such things existed until I was about twenty, because my mother never ever used them (asked her later, she didn't know they existed either). It was only after a highly embarassing incident involving the wire of a laundered bra of mine and the washing machine collectively used by 7 people being out of order for 2 weeks plus that I was told about them by one of the, uh, fellow victims.

when I got married my husband bought me my first really nice bra, and so I would hand wash it because I didn't want it to get tangled in my clothes and stretched out and everything (it was like a $50 bra......which was unheard of to me at that point) anyway I was complaining one day about it and my friend is like "get a lingere bag" and I was like "a what?" I had never seen/heard of one at that point......weird right? now I just assume everyone knows what they are/has one. It's part of being spoiled by hubby.

Is that going to work? Detergent added to mud is simply going to fail, then fail, then fail, then all of a sudden we have precipitated solids and soapy water.

I'm not hostile to your cause here. I too want bubbly mud. Frothy mud! MUD BUBBLES! which you can blow out of a big, foolishly-coloured MUD TRUMPET!

And preferably, lighter than air so they float away and depending on local weather conditions, waft randomly into respectable neighbourhoods, suddenly muddening unsuspecting citizens while they excercise their dogs!

But I'd rather you do it, since that might be a kind of terrorist thing, and I'm not sure if there's a law against it here, and they'll probably drag me in for questioning when I try to buy fifty litres of "Funtime" Mega Bath Bubble Mix.

"Toboggan" also means "a downward course or a sharp decline". You should consider a remedial English course. Just as an FYI, the last word in the previous sentence does not mean the same thing in that usage as it does in the first sentence. Amazing, no?

"Just FYI," or even just "FYI," would have conveyed the same meaning with greater word economy.
Word economy being a desirable thing, you see, when you’re writing for any purpose other than trying to prove how smart you are to someone who just isn’t buying it.
