How Do You Use A Bar Of Soap?

[MickeyLee]

Do you run a full bar of soap all around and betwixt ya nooks and crannies like a savage?

Do you lather and apply in a only slightly better version of credit carding the Irish Spring man?

Or!!

Are you a godly and reasonable human who uses a fripping wash cloth?

If it feels like I am judging you I am.

 

[MickeyLee]

I'm not really judging anyone.

Part of my assumed collective reality got a chair kicked out from under it. Like when I found out Lemonade is not American Lemonade for the rest of the world.

Rest of the World Lemonade is Lemon/Lime soda. >BOOM<

This is how I bathe/shower.

Have no clue of this "method".

No washcloth for me; skin too delicate!

It was always one life skill my Mother valiantly tried to teach me in which she finally realized she failed. I excelled at cooking and sewing and how to clean house. But washcloth usage? Abstract failure, lol.

We had many a good laugh about it once I was living on my own. Especially after she gave me towels and washcloths for my first home away from home and I suggested she keep the washcloths as I don't use one.

She told me that she always feared that to be the case as when she'd take the towels and washcloths from the bathroom to launder when I was younger, the washcloth was obviously unused.

My Mother was a saint. In so many ways.

And I bet if there'd been a market for crocheted washcloths, she'd have had that cornered!

And I stand ready for judgment; no washcloths for me!!! Even one that was hand crocheted.

That’s betwixt me, my nooks and crannies, the aforementioned fripping washcloth, and the bar of soap. Judge kindly.

The Nook and Cranny Squad are bringing the heat.

What if my whole bathing life is a lie?

Wait, what about shower gel? We talking applied like ketchup on a hot dog?

I've always shared soap with roommates, so it'd be kinda rude to put the soap someone else washes their face with directly on your balls...

Housemates and I agree that the proper protocol is to lather up your hands, then apply the soap to your crannies of choice, rinse off your hands, and repeat.

The washcloth is just used to scrub, not to apply. Otherwise you don't get an even coat.

Lather and wash the nooks, crannies and other areas. Washcloth for any tough stains (dirt, mud, grass, etc if having been outside).

Additional Question.

Do you sock sock, shoe shoe? Or sock shoe, sock shoe?

Left or right foot first?

I don't remember the last time I had a bar of soap in my home. I actually travel with body wash.

 

[lapdog2001]

I've only used a wash cloth to wash my face in the bathroom sink. In the shower, I just use the soap, running it over most of my body using my hands as well. For the nether regions, I lather up the general area, and use my hands to get the soap to where it needs to go. My wife uses a dedicated wash cloth to clean her nether regions.

 

[MickeyLee]

I think the @lapdog2001 household might have nailed soaping up.

Ditto. Body wash all the way. Dollop the wash on a loofah (everyone has their own) and lather away. My face is washed with a liquid cleanser - not a bar soap.

Face cloths are used to gently remove facial masks.

Sock, sock…go downstairs….shoe, shoe.

Same. Shoes are at the back door. Not all of them! Well, probably all of his. We do have a community pair of crocs that we use for quick trips outside for firewood or to empty the trash. But those stay outside the door.

Left or right foot first?

Sock on the left foot first. Always. Then right sock.

Then step left foot into house shoe. Then right house shoe.

When I do put on my shoes for the day, it's always left foot first. Tie the shoe. Then the right foot. Tie the shoe.

How do you ascend/descend stairs? Any musts? Do you even think about it?

I am a deliberate staircase user.

I know how many steps are in each staircase I use regularly.

For example, 14 steps from my first floor to second floor. Always lead with right foot as I must finish the stairs on my left foot.

11 steps from my first floor to the basement. Always lead with left food as I must finish the stairs on my left foot.

I have been known (much to Hubby amusement) to stop my ascent or descent on a virgin staircase if I'm not going to land on my left foot and adjust accordingly so I do.

I'm not crazy! I swear! I've always been left-footed if that makes any sense?

 

[MickeyLee]

Right sock, left sock.

Shoes are piled on the porch. Shoes go on left shoe, right shoe.

Going sock, shoe, sock, shoe leaves you vulnerable in emergencies. Ya can't flea danger on foot fully dressed and the other John McClaining it away from danger.


Stairs. Depends on type of stairs and stair coverings.

Wooden stairs - I have mastered a two foot speed shuffle.

Carpeted - sit on my butt and slide down *assuming a required level of non-grossness*

Concrete - right foot first going up. Left foot first going down. Body at an angle, hand on banister.

Stairs with the gap between risers? Fuck that noise, that's how monsters get you. Sprint up or down with one hand calming my tits.

Oh!! My Dudes!!

Cereal...super important two questions.

1. What goes in the bowl first? Milk? Cereal?

2. Do you drink the left over milk?

Random 3. Have you seen the cereal made for orange juice?

 

[LaFemme]

I’m right footed as well. I probably lead with my right foot going up and down the stairs as well. I don’t really think about it. I probably should think about it though. I’m notorious for falling up stairs!

Cereal first. Then just a splash of milk. Just enough to moisten the cereal. Milk, in its liquid form, makes me really sick. I sure don’t drink it. (I’m actually lactose intolerant, but I just ignore it. But milk? Nope. That’s coming right back up. )

And no to orange juice cereal.
