I use my towel in the opposite direction of what’s shown here. Although there shouldn’t be an issue if you’ve cleansed thoroughly (and I do), I personally cannot get past the thought of drying my ass and face with the same exact part of the towel. Luckily, I let my face air dry for skincare purposes.

My routine:

  1. Quick rinse of everything with just the hot shower water
  2. Hair shampoo and face wash
  3. Conditioner so that it can sit until final rinse
  4. Phase 1 pass of rear with body wash using just my bare hands, washing hands afterwards
  5. Loofa with body wash over everything aside from face and hair, this includes phase 2 of the rear. Really can go to town back there since phase 1 has been completed
  6. Final rinse

Conditioner?
Man the fuck up.

Well, one of us is getting their hair pulled in bed tonight, then softly stroked and twirled around the lover's fingers...

and I don't think it's you.

[-] skeptomatic@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

I'm just kidding around.
But you're right. I'm away from my wife atm, so not me.

[-] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

OOoooooh, aight. Well, in that case, let me give you some advice I got from my 15 year old friend when I was 13: conditioner is dangerous, shampoo will do.

[-] skeptomatic@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Ok bud. Whatever that means, you do you.

[-] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

you do you

I always do. It's why this is so sad.

Certain parts like your feet can have fungus diseases, even if not visible. They do not simply wash off and you don't want transferring those to your face or other parts.

A single towel is fine if you just had a shower, just dry yourself top to bottom and wash the towel.

But if you're only washing your feet you don't want to use the same towel that you will use to wipe your face.

Anyway, that's what I was taught.

Smart to put the Butt label on the brown half.

Wash cloths exist for a reason.

[-] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

I have never figured out their utility. 

If I wash my butthole with my finger I can just wash off my finger.

If I used a washcloth I'd have to put it in the washing machine and use a fresh washcloth every shower.

Just make sure you don’t use the butt soap.

Showerthoughts

38537 readers
520 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
