I always forget about my naval. When I was younger I would never wash behind my ears.

Bottom of my feet. Iโ€™m really klutzy and the slippery floor is already a bit of a hazard for me without adding soap to the mix.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

I assume they are washed by gravity.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 years ago

You stand on water. Should be enough.

except water doesn't move all those nasty water insoluble bacterias and grossness that soap makes more hydrophilic

They do make none slip bathmats you can use in the tub to reduce the chances of slipping

My legs, the shower is small and I am tall so it's a lot of work to actually soap them up properly. Usually I only bother maybe every second or third shower.

[-] lemmefixdat4u@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I use a very small plastic stool I stole from my daughter when her toddler outgrew it. Absolute game changer for washing legs. My wife loves it too for shaving her legs.

You mean put a foot on it I guess. At first I imagined you crouching down on it

Has to be my back. It's hard to reach even with a back brush because of degenerative issues in my shoulder joints. I tried one of those scrubbers with the two ropes, but it's hard to control. Need a bigger shower so my wife can wash it for me...and get my back while she's at it!

[-] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 24 points 2 years ago

A scrubber that adheres to the shower wall would be neat. Clean your back like a bear scratching an itch on a tree.

mount the backbrush to one of the walls then scrub your back against it like a bear ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚

You forget your naval and I forget my soldiers

[-] favrion@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

No soldier left behind.

I never fail to take care of my little soldier in the shower

My skin. Depression sucks.

[-] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 24 points 2 years ago

Yeah, armpits... forget them from time to time.

No worries, you're perfectly normal ๐Ÿ‘.

Legs and feet - I assume they get clean enough by the running water.

[-] dan@upvote.au 7 points 2 years ago

The bottom of your feet, and in between your toes, won't be cleaned well (if at all) by the running water.

Soap just loosens dirt and grime. You actually need to agetate it with your hand/wash cloth/loofah in order to remove said dirt and grime.

I regularly swallow soap to clean my insides. I don't understand why people keep ignoring it?

I never wash my eyeballs, it really stings so I avoid it.

EDIT: typo

[-] favrion@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 years ago

I am not a doctor, but you should see one because that should not sting.

[-] MTK@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

That's weird, I thought it stings for everyone

No pain no gain. Squirt that soap directly into your eyeballs!

[-] vaselined@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Is there any discolouration?

[-] MTK@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I don't thinks so, they were always kind of blue

[-] vaselined@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Aha. Classic case of blue balls. You should paint it Red to offset the issue.

[-] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago

You've killed another one, doctor. Congratulations

My belly button

Sometimes I forget to rinse the shampoo out of my hair and then I have to turn on the water again.

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

behind my ears! I have to continuously remind myself to do it. just keep forgetting to do it for some reason.

A thanatologist once told me that lots of people don't wash behind their ears properly.

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I heard from secondary school at some point that it's usually the dirtiest part of the body

Back of my neck! I always have a shower cap on on non shampoo days and I usually miss my neck.

My naval! I'm very thorough when showering - I absolutely hate feeling dirty. But I think the ol' belly button gets overlooked because of how concave it is.
