Soap or Body Wash?

[amber]

I like how body wash is all tidy - I mostly get that, some naturally kind from Whole Foods, specifically Natures Gate. But I've been into soap more lately, b/c whole foods was selling this special Pumpkin Spice soap around Halloween, and it smells so fricking good. It's also natural - mainly different kinds of oils make it up. That's what I get is either regular glycerin soap, or a soap made with only a few ingredients, most or all of which are plant oil.
Oh, I forgot - I use DHC Deep Cleansing Oil (basically olive oil) for my face. I don't really use soap on my face, only very occasionally.

I use the body wash with all those little beads. It feels good on my naked body.

Thanks, Debbie Downer.

A bar of soap is just fine for me, thanks.

Body wash .I swim very often and it doesn't seem to dry your skin out as much with frequent use.

Unfortunately, it's not pleasant when it comes into contact with the anus.

Give me my Irish Spring, with or without a rag, and I am just fine.

That body wash stuff - it feels like and reminds me of dish soap.

On edit, let me add that Irish Spring leaves only an extremely faint smell of pine or lime that is gone in an hour. It disappears with the mildest fresh coat of sweat.

And specifically for guys and body wash - on what planet is a man's body and or crotch supposed to smell like apples, peaches, or jasmine ? I don't want my snout near that planet. Do straight girls like this or something ?

Irish Spring without a rag is the only way to go for me.

And I couldn't agree with you more... men should never smell like flowers or fruit. In the words of the immortal Annie Lennox... "I need a MAN."

For all you fans of body wash... or soap for that matter, there's a company call Rogers & Gallet and they make products that are all natural (bit not in a hippie way) and yummy, nothing synthetic smelling. The best soap they have, you ask? Lettuce. I sh*t you not. So f*cking good.

I still use a wash cloth but I use body wash too. I use an antibacterial + moisturizing combo. I hate bar soap. It makes my skin feel dry.

I usually have to use Ivory or Dove because my skin is so sensitive, but I use the bar of soap. Very rarely do I use the poofy thing

and the person that said they are filled with bacteria: you CAN wash them ya know just dont dry them!! they shrivel up!

and I dont' know what it is, but I HAVE to use a washrag or something. I cant just use a bar of soap and lather up. It's not exfoliating. It's kinda like brushing your teeth with your finger or something. Blah.
