So that nylon netty clump thing you use to wash yourself in the shower?

[Mysterian]

What do you call it?

I hate those things they remind me of wet tights. I don’t like shower gel either.

Flannel and a bar of posh soap for me.

What’s wrong with hands ????
Seriously? Do you wash your dishes with “hands”? Ffs exfoliate you are probably several centimetres larger all round than you should be.

I call it a shower thingy

A puff.

Washing myself with a poof sounds a bit awkward, and offensive.

They don't need replacing unless they've fallen apart or gone really mouldy - mine all last years and years.

A nothing. Eww Who wants to wash with a scratchy bit of nylon. EWW!

Shower scrunchie thingy.

I will never understand why the British don’t use fucking washcloths like normal humans. They get in all the corners, exfoliate just as well as those idiotic scratching gloves, and you can use a nice clean one for every shower instead of redistributing the ass-bacteria colony that incubates in those repulsive pouffs. They’re also environmentally friendly as they have a nice lifecycle of guest washcloth>everyday washcloth>dish scrubbing cloth>paint rag before they fall completely to threads.

Elision lots of us use flannels; certainly all my friends and family growing up at least.

I just use my hands these days.

It doesn't need a name. It's just a thing so it doesn't mind. If a child says "what's that" I reply it's a thing for scrubbing yourself when washing.

Loofah...obvs

A puff.

Scrubber. There have been jokes

Also @Elision I don’t use my puff on my ass. My nether regions are dealt with separately.

They do. I thought those weird netty things were a 70s fad which had long died out.

My dog has flannels too, he doesn't approve but they're not as bad as a b - a - t - h.

It's a bath scrunchie. Even though I use it in the shower, it's still a bath scrunchie.

Fuck me. SOMEONE got out of bed the wrong side this morning.

You sound irrationally angry.

Don’t have one, I use hands and soap (only on the crucial bits).

For exfoliation I rub any dry skin areas with the towel after showering. Less scratchy than a scrunchy thing and I can reach my whole back that way.

So your towel is full of dead skin?

A poof

Buff puff, although I’m in the ‘hands are fine’ camp and my skin is lovely.

Exfoliation always seems a bit silly to me - the top layers of skin are there to protect the rest of it.

I only exfoliate the bits where it doesn't naturally rub off (my knobbly knees, mostly), and I do that gently with my hands.

And no, my towels aren't full of dead skin. What a weird idea.

We do, Elision, we just call them flannels

I don’t use them in the shower (just use my hands) but I use them (separately) to wash my face and to bath my 1yo, and to wipe him down after meals. We go through so many

Bum scrubber, dp is the only one who uses them though, I think they are grim.

I suppose my towel probably does get some dead skin in it when I use it to rub after showering, yes. Until it gets washed which is very regularly. Doesn’t particularly bother me. Prefer that to scratchy plastic.
