Soap on body while showering?

55% Normal
9 Comments

When I shower, I use soap on my face, armpits, and I use it liberally on my nether-region and unmentionables, but no where else...I also shampoo.

I just don't see the point in using soap all over my body (like on my chest/stomach, back, and legs) so I just use it on the parts mentioned above. I've been showering this way for 15 years. Is this normal?

Additional info: I still use deodorant, and have never had a problem with B.O...in fact I often get complimented on how good I smell. I am also slim, so I don't get odor buildup like fat people do.

    Your skin builds up and then gets all gross and oily. Plus, you can get back/chest acne if you don't wash away the dirt and oils.

    Of course this is normal.
    All our bodies sweat differently. I barely sweat anywhere, and have never had oily skin, I very rarely use a body wash unless I'm there's a smelly one I want to try. I've no need to wash, water gets off anything, soap would just strip my skin.
    I've never had to wash my face either and I've never had problem skin.

    All our skins are different and require unique care.

    I soap up everything. But when I'm in a rush to take a quick shower I just soap up the nethers and areas where I sweat.

    You should really wash your back. It's one of those sweaty bits. You should also wash you feet, a lot of people don't.

    I wash everywhere too, but you wash how you feel comfortable :)
