who shower barehanded
There is another way...?
you dont wear shower mittens?
the people on this federation, i fucking swear.
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?!
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 didnβt get washed well. Which is why I switched to a poof.
I just put shampoo on my head and t-pose
...I'm supposed to wear gloves in the shower?
How are you supposed to thoroughly clean your butthole?
My butthole is self cleaning.
Wait, are we not all wearing gloves?
I just rub the shower gel bottle over myself. It's lasting me ages
Anywhere skin-on-skin contact occurs (butt, balls, armpits), I use a small amount of benzoyl peroxide facewash. It kills the bacteria responsible for BO and for 24-48 hours body odor is impossible.
You apply it, wait 5 minutes and rinse well. If you don't rinse well you can bleach your towel or clothes.
As far as body soap goes, I use a a fragrance free body wash with salicylic acid. Heavy mechanical exfoliation is not necessary when using a chemical exfoliant. Also, loofas are just a bunch of plastic waste.
After the shower, I use a lightweight gel moisturizer with cerimides. I use a thicker moisturizer on my hands and weenis.
That's just the body. I--of course--have a completely seperate routine for my face.

3% peroxide shouldn't be applied directly to the skin and its time to kill is 3 minutes.
I mean, yeah?? I just put the soap wherever it needs to go??
The soap isn't dirty folks. Half of the time all I'm showering off is sweat and dead skin cells anyways. And if any bugger dares reply to this with some clever comment about taint smears, I'll inform you beforehand I do not speak with bidet-less miscreants.
We need to invent a slur for bidet-non-havers
Paperbacks
I lather everything on my belly and then spread it across my body.
Not everyone has the advantage of a protruding belly to lather that soap on, you know.
Worked hard for it!
Bar soap sucks anyway, leaves a weird feeling.
Liquid soap all the way. (Body wash, hand wash)
Use beard as soap distribution hub.
Liquid soap, problem solved.
doesn't everyone use shampoo?? who tf uses a bar of soap for anything else than washing hands??
There is shampoo as soap bars in Europe.
I use it since it brings better cleaning results. There are also environmental reasons not to pack everything like shampoo into plastic. A soap bar comes with just a bit of paper around.
There's liquid soap, you know. Didn't need to shove anything inside anywhere to stay clean.
The same way you wash your hands
Soap on hands; hands on body.
I shove the bar of soap strait up my ass and just express the foam into my hand from there until I'm done.

Step out of the water, lather up hands, scrub, then back into the water to rinse. Face, then hair, the upper body then lower body - with a good spray of the undercarriage (shower heads are supposed to be removeable, not stuck to the wall).
It's a pet hate of mine that people often miss the step of rinsing when cleaning. The whole point is that the soap picks up the muck, then rinsing it removes it. This is a particular problem with dishes, where people leave (sometimes very dirty) dishwater on the plate to drip dry, with much of the residue remaining. My dishes fucking sparkle, and that's because I rinse them clean.
In contrast, with showers I think some people lather up in the water, which dilutes and rinses the soap away before it even cleans anything.
My dishes fucking sparkle, and thatβs because I rinse them clean.
This is how I can tell you live in an area that doesn't have hard water. Water spots all over my dishes, even though I rinse them... sometimes because I rinse them.
I do actually live in an area with hard water, and don't have a water softener. Even then, I think the heat of the water I use maybe helps - there's only ever a tiny little bit of water left to drip out. I'm not very energy effecient with it, I run the hot tap very hot to rinse.
Interesting question! In Scientology, there is a specific way to handle hygiene in order to maintain physical and spiritual well-being. When it comes to showering, here's what I was taught:
Begin by taking a warm water rinse to wake up the body and get rid of any dirt or debris.
Then, apply a small amount of soap to your hand or face cloth (if using) and start with the armpits, back, and neck areas first. This helps remove any excess energy that may be stuck in those areas.
Use circular motions while lathering up, always moving towards the heart.
Rinse off the soap thoroughly before applying more if necessary.
Finish off by rinsing out any remaining soap and water from the hair and body.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your shower time is not only hygienic but also helpful for keeping negativity and thetans away. In terms of explaining the connection between hygiene and keeping thetans away, it boils down to the principle of "cleanliness=godliness." By taking care of our physical bodies through good hygiene practices like showering regularly and using good quality products, we are better able to keep negative thoughts and emotions at bay. Just as we would want to avoid touching dirty or stinky things, thetans also prefer a clean and fresh energy field around us. So, essentially, it's all about maintaining physical and spiritual cleanliness and care.
So, by showering properly and taking care of our personal hygiene, we can help keep ourselves and our surroundings free of negative vibes and energies. Does that answer your question? Let me know if you have any other questions related to Scientology or spiritual wellness!
