I always forget about my naval. When I was younger I would never wash behind my ears.

Bottom of my feet. I’m really klutzy and the slippery floor is already a bit of a hazard for me without adding soap to the mix.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

I assume they are washed by gravity.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

You stand on water. Should be enough.

[-] sock@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

except water doesn't move all those nasty water insoluble bacterias and grossness that soap makes more hydrophilic

My legs, the shower is small and I am tall so it's a lot of work to actually soap them up properly. Usually I only bother maybe every second or third shower.

[-] lemmefixdat4u@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I use a very small plastic stool I stole from my daughter when her toddler outgrew it. Absolute game changer for washing legs. My wife loves it too for shaving her legs.

You mean put a foot on it I guess. At first I imagined you crouching down on it

Has to be my back. It's hard to reach even with a back brush because of degenerative issues in my shoulder joints. I tried one of those scrubbers with the two ropes, but it's hard to control. Need a bigger shower so my wife can wash it for me...and get my back while she's at it!

[-] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 24 points 1 year ago

A scrubber that adheres to the shower wall would be neat. Clean your back like a bear scratching an itch on a tree.

mount the backbrush to one of the walls then scrub your back against it like a bear πŸ˜πŸ˜‚

You forget your naval and I forget my soldiers

[-] favrion@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

No soldier left behind.

I never fail to take care of my little soldier in the shower

My skin. Depression sucks.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

Sometimes I tell myself I’m gonna get in, soap up, rinse, get out, two minutes tops.

Then I’m just standing there in the hot water ten minutes later. Knowing l’ll be late for work if I don’t move. And just standing there, trying to somehow soak up enough heat to internalize the comfort and make it mine.

But it’s not mine.

Maybe you could switch to evening showers?

Pros: luxuriate in there as long as you want, feel comforted, more sleeping in.

Cons: idk, I love an evening shower. Drying your hair before bed I guess?

[-] SecretPancake@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

Also Pro: The bed stays clean longer

I regularly swallow soap to clean my insides. I don't understand why people keep ignoring it?

Legs and feet - I assume they get clean enough by the running water.

[-] dan@upvote.au 7 points 1 year ago

The bottom of your feet, and in between your toes, won't be cleaned well (if at all) by the running water.

Soap just loosens dirt and grime. You actually need to agetate it with your hand/wash cloth/loofah in order to remove said dirt and grime.

I never wash my eyeballs, it really stings so I avoid it.

EDIT: typo

[-] favrion@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 year ago

I am not a doctor, but you should see one because that should not sting.

[-] MTK@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That's weird, I thought it stings for everyone

No pain no gain. Squirt that soap directly into your eyeballs!

Yeah, armpits... forget them from time to time.

No worries, you're perfectly normal πŸ‘.

Sometimes I forget to rinse the shampoo out of my hair and then I have to turn on the water again.

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

behind my ears! I have to continuously remind myself to do it. just keep forgetting to do it for some reason.

A thanatologist once told me that lots of people don't wash behind their ears properly.

I heard from secondary school at some point that it's usually the dirtiest part of the body
