the loofa

I would be less freaked out by a loofa than Old Spice Body Wash.
Whatever. Ahoy.
I have no idea what this thread is about. But then again, I don't even use deoderant.

I swear by Axe body wash. Leaves a way cleaner feeling than "bar" soap & doesn't leave the skin as dry. Don't fuck with the body spray, though. That's for 8th graders. Wackness personified if you're over the age of 16. Step your fragrance game up, fellas. The ladies enjoy it . . . :cool:

so i'm talking to someone last night, and somehow body wash comes up in the conversation courtesy of me.. at which point she looks at me sideways and says "wait, you use a loofa?". i reply with a simple "yeah" and a shrug.

i thought loofas transcended the unisex barrier? am i sitting alone at the "dudes using loofas" table?

women (the 3 of you in here), if it's the first sleepover at his place.. you walk into the bathroom and see the bright flourescent sponge of goodness hanging from the showerhead, do you automatically think "suspect"?
so thats what you boys talk about at lolita, eh? :) now im really sad i missed going there last night. did julie show up btw? yeah i could email her, but im sure ill read this before i hear from her. so you can fill me in on what i missed.

nah, this went down at a different bar (place in w. village where i work wed. nights), talking with the promoter.

ty and i did have an interesting conversation w/ this one dude asking us where he could find herb. julie wasn't there. i liked that bar though, cool spot.
Nah, I actually shower once or twice a day, and I'm not too pussy to do it in public. ;)
I don't think "suspect" but dependent upon the type of loofa you have, I may think metrosexual, OCD behavior, or what type of skin disorder do you have? ;)
("Loofa" makes me think of the big, yellow sponges that came out in the 70s - with talk of Old Spice - now I'm thinking of Soap-On-A-Rope!)
It's hard to find other options and I think most people know that stores seem to only offer the bright pink, squishy things on a rope.
Either way, you handled it fine. (The less you say, the better. ;) (I do vote cleanliness and color are a factor…Wait until you try body scrubs!)

i was thinking of that commercial. . .

i have a friend with pretty bad OCD, and he'll only use bar soap. he was out to visit one time, and all we have is the body wash. . .1 hour later, he finally gets out of the shower because he had been trying to rinse off all the scrubbing pellets that were in the body wash.
Here it is.

I've had the problem of what to do when you're a guest at someone's house and they only have bodywash but no guest loofa (not that I'd expect them to). After running into this problem several times my girlfriend told me to just use a washcloth, something that hadn't occurred to me.
Is it so hard to just throw a dab of body wash on one hand, rub your hands together, then lather up the rest of the body? Really, you can't do this without a loofa?
have any of you ever bought a huge loofah at a latin grocery? it's shaped like a baseball bat, and you have to cut it into…chunks, and shake out the seeds before you can use it.

i didn't think that guys bothered with loofahs or poufs. it's weird… too girly. i also barely approve of body wash. additionally, i could never kiss a guy knowing(/smelling) he used axe products.

It's all good, many of your girlfriends have. I'll live. ;)

But real talk, though. I'm not really ridin' with the loofa movement, but what could possibly turn you off about a guy wanted to be clean for himself and/or making himself presentable to you/ladies??? Are you a hippie or something??
You just end up using a lot of soap this way. I'd always prefer a bar in these situations.

But it's their soap, so who cares?

And I guess I shouldn't tell you the last place I had that bar of soap you just borrowed…
