Flannels/face cloths and loo roll. How do YOU use them?

[Beachtastic]

I'm performing a community service by starting this thread, to take the heat off the one about Xmas guests behaving oddly. Who knew that we all needed to explain our washing/wiping routines in such detail!

So I'm a flannel person. I like to wash my face with warm water, and it makes less mess doing so with a clean flannel so that the sink area doesn't end up looking like bathtime at the zoo. No blindly reaching for the towel with soap in your eyes!

I draw a veil over how I wipe my bum, I'm happy with my toilet routine and do not feel the need for high-pressure steam cleaning.

Do you consider using a flannel to be the height of civilisation, or an oddity from the 1950s? Do you expect to find one (or a stack of them) in the bathroom when you are a guest somewhere?

Are you excited to share details of how you prefer to use toilet paper after doing a plop? (I wouldn't normally ask this, but it seems to fulfil a need on MN)

What?!

Wash my face with a warm flannel at night, use my hands with face wash in the shower.

use toilet roll, don’t have a gun/bidet toilet.

Was she very, very tiny?!?!?

I'm so glad to have a safe space to talk about cloths.

How do you wash your ears without a flannel?

I must confess, I do use a flannel for my face, but it's never occurred to me to wash my ears! Never ever in my whole life. I've just examined them and they look perfectly clean. Surely they are vaguely covered by shampooing hair? Or am I a disgrace to the human race?

This is a fascinating thread. I use flannels/muslins. I have white ones for my face and a darker colour, matching my towels, for my front/back bottom freshen up in the morning (I shower at night)and I am post-menopausal when things “change” in both those areas.
I use the Superdrug hot cloth cleanser and it comes with a muslin. They are great for travelling and dry quickly. For some bizarre reason I can’t stand picking up a wet cold flannel to wash either end so mine dry on the radiator in between use and are washed (separately) at a high temperature regularly 😊

Oh, and I must add, we have a Japanese toilet downstairs. My
logic was that if I get too decrepit to get upstairs in the future, I can still be fresh and clean downstairs, if you know what I mean!

I’ve used wash mitts my whole life. I don’t understand flannels (face cloths) 😬

They’re basically the same material and meant for the same job, but mitts just fit your hand perfectly. I have no idea how you’re supposed to use a flannel! 😂
