do you wash your legs

[cpl24805254]

so was reading an online news article about a twitter thread,in which people said they did not wash legs in the shower.I am confused why you would leave them out.Is this a thing? one woman said she only washed them when she shaved!Do you wash your legs in the shower?

Yes.

always

Yes

I wash my thighs, but I must admit, I only wash the bottom half of my legs if I'm shaving. I don't not wash them on purpose though.

I dont think I do unless shaving but maybe it’s just not a focus area!

No, because the soap automatically runs down my legs.

Pits, bits, neck, underbosom and feet. DH occasionally scrubs my back in the bath.

Not all the time only if I've been sweating because of exercise or something. They get very dry.

Lol, I saw this on twitter. I don't wash my legs in the same way I'd wash my armpits, no. They don't sweat, they don't get dirty (unless they do, say if I'm gardening, and then I do wash them) so just being in the shower is enough to make them clean enough. If that horrifies someone, then fair enough. But nobody has ever looked in horror at my filthy knees, or keeled over from the terrible stench from my calves.

I use a loafah and run it across my whole body at least once a week. If I’m having a quick shower then no I just rely on soapy water trickling down my legs. I do wash my feet daily though.

I do but even I know its not strictly necessary.
When you lather up all the shower gel makes its way down your legs and water rinses it off....voila clean legs courtesy of soap, water and gravity.
I just scrub mine with a shower lily as I like the sensation on my skin.
Legs don't really get too grubby by themselves do they?

Yes with exfoliating gloves

Yeah I wouldn't want to get smell--knee.

MN amazes me. You have to shower multiple times a day, washing your towels every time but you don’t actually have to wash anything properly?
Maybe this is why you all need to wash your towels so often - you aren’t washing dead skin cells etc off in the shower, but are rubbing them all over your towels. It goes along with not using a flannel, I guess. Weird.
Yes, OP, I wash everything in the shower. Properly. Because I’m in there to, you know, get clean.

Yes, with shower gel on hands.

Yes I lather them every day as I shave my legs everyday.

No, they don't get sweaty, and are dry enough as it is. The soap and shampoo running down from elsewhere is enough.

Yes. I wash everything with soap, including legs and feet!

Yes in the bath, no in the shower.

Of course I wash my legs. Why shower and not wash your whole body?

Yes, with mild shower gel and one of those puff things. Never used to but my ketosis pilaris (funny strawberry skin) was getting worse - this and some low-acid emollient are massively helping.

Yes but thinking about it only at the front so down the thigh over the knee and down the shin...

Yes.

Yes, I do.

You need to get from your body to your feet, so you might as well go via your legs as through fresh air 🤷🏻‍♀️

Your body sheds skin all over, a bit of a rub is a good thing.

I soap up my shower puff and scrub everywhere I can reach, including legs. Couldn't imagine not washing my legs .
