But the point is, you don’t have to.

Psst...that “dirt” you see use toner and cotton balls, that’s just your natural oils, which you *don’t* want to entirely strip off or you’re going to dry the every loving f*ck out of your skin. In fact, most people have no need for toner, it’s just marketing to get you to spend money.

True story, my dad cut off two of his toes while mowing the lawn and wearing rubber boots, which are just a small step up from wearing flip flops. I’m not anal at all about washing your feet, but you should wear hardier shoes when you mow the lawn.

I thought it was a fungus that could survive in damp environments, and that you are most likely to pick up when walking around barefoot in a communal shower. In my own bathroom used by just me and my husband and that I know how often and how thoroughly it’s cleaned? Yeah I’m not worried about athletes foot in my own

You do you, but I’ve not used a washcloth or loofah since middle school. I’m 30 and have had the same cleaning routine for at least 15 years, and have also never had a problem with bacteria. I wash my hands, then use my clean hands to wash my body. So...if anecdote is proof here, my way works too.

Ummmm...do you live in some water conscious California town that is obsessively trying to recycle water? Because I’m pretty sure that in most places the pipes do in fact still go to the same place.

I mean, just take a wide stance and aim straight for the drain. And it’s not like you even notice if some gets on you, you already have hot water running down your legs...

But, as I stated, I do not appear to have build up of dead skin behind my ears. And poofs and washcloths are known breeding grounds for bacteria:

I tried Hahafools test and I can confirm the backsides of my ears are plenty clean, thank you very much.

Yikes. Even if I wanted to wash my towels after every use, I would stop once I started getting bills like that.

I mean, it’s not like I’m hanging my legs outside the shower, keeping them dry. They get wet, they get exposed to soap, the one thing I don’t do is reach down and make a scrubbing motion. And these loofahs you seem so fond of; they’re pretty funky:

Oh man, you use a clean towel every time too? What’s your water bill look like? You must not live somewhere arid.

The times I walk around in a bunch of raw chicken and then promptly eat using my bare feet, yes I wash my feet. Otherwise though, nah.

Right, urine has a little bacteria. As does your skin. You shower, bacteria will be in the soapy water that goes down the drain. Unavoidable whether you pee or don’t pee. So why not pee?

Well, I’m not perfect but I sure am close ;)

And I still do not understand the aversion to peeing in the shower.

Just did, nothing.

I assume some shampoo gets behind there when I’m washing and rinsing my hair. But I do not feel like I need to ensure every inch of myself gets soaped up. I shower regularly, I get fully wet; besides a little bacteria is good for your immune system and too much soap strips your skin of it’s natural oils.

I refuse to be cowed into not using legitimate words because some people have some weird aversion to them. Moistness is a word, it describes a state of being that is applicable to my comment. Get over it.

Another fun fact about me. I don’t shower all weekend. Like, shower Thursday night and then nothing until Sunday night. Also, if I go for a run and it’s cold and I don’t feel I’m that sweaty, I do not shower.
