Bath Person here - I don't agree. And I am a clean freak - can fill the bath with lots of suds, hot water and soap down and sit and shave and be uber clean. When I go to hotels for instance with only showers, I never feel as clean by comparison. But that's me!

I never heard of this...why wouldn't you? To make legs & skin super soft tho...and dress ready...I use a body oil with a skin brush, very gently rubbing in the oil to hydrate the skin. Eminence Organic skin care sugar scrub is good for the bath or shower...no need to use soap...

I buy Buf-Puf scrub sponges that attach to an inexpensive reusable handle. It's great for cleaning my back. It could even be used by those who have trouble washing their legs and feet.

Once a month, I put my hairbrushes (stripped of hair first), combs, sunglasses, the Buf-Puf handle and other stuff in the dishwasher to give them all a good cleaning/disinfecting. If I used something like a loofah in the shower, I'd put it in the dishwasher then too.

You may be thinking about an episode of Friends.

I can't imagine why such a question would even come up ( but yeah, I commented on it too), but I figure that those who don't wash their legs assume that all the soapy water running down their legs when they're washing other parts would do the job.


I never thought about it much, I don't have hairy legs ( and I shave them too), but I scrub on down to and including my feet when I take a shower.

Why wouldn't you wash your legs?

You should wash your whole body, including your private parts and your anus with soap.

Isn`t the purpose of a shower.....to wash yourself? Does that not include your legs? Such an odd question. Makes me wonder, if poster is just playing games?

Puff sponge on a long handle reaches everywhere, so nothing gets left out.
