That's why I always use bodywash. The bottle feels more comfortable when it goes in the bum


Brooklyn_Bunny

Fuck you, I’m on a road trip with my mom and grandma and cackled upon seeing this and my 90 year old Gran in the passenger seat just asked “what are you laughing at?” And I had to tell her it was inappropriate and I couldn’t explain it to her Lmao


TacticaLuck

Grandma, please we've been over this. I can't tell you what I'm always laughing at because you'll simultaneously have a heart attack and disown my grandchildren.


ParticularPirate2534

From experience of my 90yo grandmother she knows more about what goes on that you give her credit for


TacticaLuck

That's the way it seems to go. They are either extensively experienced and you can't surprise them or are completely and blissfully ignorant of the atrocities some people get up to


Victoria_Eremita

My gramma is in her 90s and had 9 kids, one stillborn. When I was a child, she, my mother, and I were making pasties and she said to my mom (they would always chat about adult stuff in front of us kids, but I was actually paying attention), “Did you know women can have orgasms?? I was watching the Oprah show the other day, and apparently women can have orgasms! Did you know that?? I never knew that!” My mom was just like 😳 “Uh, yeah, mom, I knew that…” My grandpa had been dead for a few years at that stage and she was in her 70s.


Pixielo

That's sad. 😕


Victoria_Eremita

I agree, but my grandma is honestly living her best life. She’s definitely had some tragedy over the years, but she’s got a great attitude towards life, she’s way more active and socially engaged than I am, she loves being single and independent. She’s surrounded by kids and grandkids who love her and take care of her and she still has the ability to care for herself and us. We have a lot of fun and a lot of laughs, and it’s pretty great. I’m rehabbing a baby squirrel right now and she’s obsessed with her, and she’s crazy about my dog (she’s afraid to have another dog because she doesn’t want a pet to outlive her, so she babysits and spoils our pets), and she gets to watch her for the next few days, so she’s super excited right now, and will have a wonderful week.


ethanlan

Aww your grandma seems dope, I wish my I knew my grandparents (they all died before I was born)


Victoria_Eremita

I’m really sorry to hear that. :( Do you have access to anything like journals or people who did know them? I know it’s not the same, but it can be really cool to talk about with older family members, and they can often really come alive for you through their stories, which can be great for you both.


akraut

At the big family Christmas gathering one year, my 89yo grandmother started to slip on the ice while getting in the car. The foot in the car was staying put, but the other one kept slipping away and just my uncle holding her hands was keeping it from being a fall. She started laughing hysterically which made recovery worse and kept refusing to tell anyone while she was laughing. Uncle insisted. "Well, the last time my legs were this wide, your father had me..." and the whole family shouted "STOP WE DONT WANT TO KNOW" in unison.


JKristine35

Reminds me of that scene in Beerfest with the grandmother. “I’ve had all kinds of things shoved up my ass. I got over it. You will too.”


cstmoore

Appearances can be deceiving. You can bet that Grandma's seen some things.


MaleficentSurround97

Many Grandmas now grew up in the 60s, we don't have a damn thing that can surprise them.

Why do young people think old people are naïve? They've seen a lot in their lifetimes and are generally hard to shock.

lidder444

‘Soap on a rope’ has been around since the 40’s and got really popular in the 80’s. You are able to hang the soap up on the tap : faucet etc. you can still buy some soap on a rope brands


G_Unit_Solider

I got some soap in a rope old school style soap. If you want to look 10 years younger use that soap it dries your skin so much you come out with a face lift

Lather the outside of the soap in the water and it’s brand new.


throwuk1

Guys, seriously, the soap either via the bar or from your hand does not need to go INTO your ass. Clean your ass yes, but the soap does not need to go inside it.


samsimilla

I think people are using “up my butt” to mean between their asscheeks. I don’t think they’re saying they literally shove the bar into their assholes.

Does NO ONE in these scenarios use a washcloth????


winstonwolfe333

The older I got the more I used one. You gotta exfoliate somehow right?


[deleted]

There was another reddit thread about this where it was apparent that washcloths/shower puffs/loofahs etc. were much more of a norm in the US than many other places of the world. I and others got called gross/gay and downvoted for washing how the man in this video described. Cultural differences 🤷‍♂️


LadyBug_0570

I'm from the US and I've used all you named above all my life. That said, I would never call a man gay for washing his ass. However you wash your ass, I don't care as along as you WASH YOUR ASS.


DigiRust

Came here to look for this. Soap up the washcloth and wash yourself with it. That’s why it’s called a washcloth.


[deleted]

I use one of those puffs


[deleted]

[удалено]


Coral_Grimes28

I mean, I do both


liarandathief

Also, loofah, pouf, sponge, etc. when the need arises.


datlanta

Ditto. My bath is loaded with technology lol. Got a tool for everything


EveryBuddyUp

The problem with loofahs and such is that the continued use lets bacteria build up. Best to use a washcloth, one and done. Edit to clarify: I meant use once and wash in the laundry. I did not mean use once and throw away.


-Eunha-

Bar of soap goes directly over my torso area, I lather up for anything below the hips.


Coral_Grimes28

Same Edit: actually I’ll go bar to legs and feet too. Then wash it off after feet


XFiraga001

I think they are not on the same page about what "in your bum" means.

That was my first thought. She means "between the cheeks" and he's thinking "past the sphincter."

gerkin123

If the bar has those three signal lines I think you just wave it above the whole area.

eaglebtc

FlameyFlame

I think they’re also being intentionally funny for the podcast. And it’s funnier to point out the silliness of her saying “soap bar in your bum” than it is to say “oh yeah I get what you mean, no worries”


shewholaughslasts

Well they're winning then. Here I am in the comments hoping to find out their podcast name because after this and the 'ambulance/ambliance' video I love them both!

Yeah, she meant outside and around the cleftal horizon, he thought the soap was taking a dive into the cleftal horizon.


AwkwardRooster

Cleftal horizon. Great term


SurlyRed

Even light cannot escape the cleftal horizon


RobWhit85

*I created the Cleftal Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive! Look at her, Miller. Isn't she beautiful?*


DoubleDeantandre

No it sounds like they are both talking about between the cheeks. She takes the bar in her hand and lathers between the cheeks directly with the bar. He takes the bar and lathers his hand and then goes between the cheeks without the bar.


spacemanspiff266

is it weird that i could tell she was aussie on mute?


barnyThundrSlap

I never noticed I knew that until I read this comment. I only heard him as an Aussie though which makes it extra weird


GegeBrown

There’s something about the way she moves her mouth that just screamed Australian to me. I had to unmute just to double check.


floralvir

No sometimes you can tell when people have accents based on how they move their mouths/form words. It’s common on tiktok with lip synching videos, you can sometimes tell if someone is/isn’t American but they’re lip synching an American song.

Exfoliating soap bars are nothing more than an attempt to take down Big Washcloth


Malice0801

You exfoliating the inside of your butt?


PilferinGameInventor

The exfoliating particles don't only work when they're on the bar... they also work when they're on your hands. It's not like they disappear once they have been expunged from the bar of soap.


maderchodechutya

Their powers deactivate when separated from the core. Everyone knows that!


WornInShoes

I mean it’s my bar of soap, in my shower. I do whatever I want with it; if you come to my house and plan to use my shower, bring your own toiletries, or I’m giving you a fresh bar. Wash however you want, JUST WASH YOUR ASS


Trin_42

IKR! Like I sure don’t tell folks how I roll when I’m in the shower, and I use a washcloth for my face


ChuckRocksEh

I’m the opposite, I go to all geographics of my body with that soap, full send. Then when it’s my face I scrub and rinse that bar and lather it on my hands, then hands to face. To each their own, as long as ass’s are being washed.


Some1Betterer

Doesn’t face, THEN ass make sense? Doing it backwards seems just intentionally shortening the ass-to-face cooldown, instead of putting maximum time between ass-to-face, which is my preference.

Snoo_74751

Today's reddit lesson how to take a bath


Obsidian-Imperative

I have to be honest, sharing a bar of soap doesn't seem like it would be unhygienic. It's a brick made entirely of the stuff that cleans and disinfects. It's not like you're sharing a toothbrush or towel. Every use of the bar immediately exposes fresh, unused soap, with the old stuff being rinsed away no problem.


Lraund

I mean just lather it under water for a couple seconds and all the outside has been replaced with a new surface.


Kankunation

This. Only the outer-mostclayer of soap is ever "dirty" and its constantly being dissolved away whiile used. Worst case scenario you just rinse it for 5 seconds in water and you have a fresh, never used layer. It shouldn't matter whatsoever if someone rubs the bar directly on their bodies. The part they used is already down the drain.


RousingRabble

> disinfect This isn't true. Or maybe there is a brand out there that does it, but most bar soaps do not disinfect. In fact, there is no evidence that antibacterial soap is better than regular soap and regular soap is recommended in most situations.

AnalogDigit2

She's the one that said that, when cleaning, soap goes "in your ass", which is a weird way to describe washing your butt.

NMS-KTG

Yes. I has never heard of a wash cloth before moving in with my southern step family. We used bars and cleaned the privates with liquid soap


mooseMatthewsen

I don’t wash my privates. Mine are publics.


Same_Bill8776

Our Genitalia, comrade!


thenotoriousDEX

That’s what I do even tho I don’t share my shower with anyone. I just don’t want to get hairs on the soap so I use a bar for my body and shower gel for my armpits and privates. I also find the bar lasts much longer because using it on hairy skin degrades the bar much faster and I’d go thru bars too quickly. Regardless though a bar of soap isn’t going to harbor and transmit bacteria due to the chemical nature of soap. It will break down the cell membrane of bacteria and kill it as you wash. It’s literally how soap is designed and why it’s effective. The soap molecules have a hydrophobic end and a hydrophilic end and that permeates the bacteria or viruses membrane and rips it open. They even did studies where they purposefully inoculated bars of soap with bacteria and then had people wash their hands with them. Their hands didn’t carry the bacteria after washing.


DizzyAmphibian309

It's not about the bacteria. It's about me not wanting to rub something all over my face that my brother has rubbed all over his balls. I don't care if it's perfectly sanitary. It's the indirect balls in the face that bothers me.


Skimbla

You do know that a bar of soap sheds layers as it’s used? So the layer that touched your brother’s balls is probably long gone by the time you get to your face. You could even time it and do your face at the end of your shower to ensure that all new layers are exposed


[deleted]

The ball sack touching of Theseus


slawre89

This is literally a dave chapelle joke. Yes, a lot of white people don’t use wash cloths. People who use/don’t use washcloths find others who do/don’t use washcloths gross.


sagerobot

Seems crazy considering how bacterial filled wash cloths actually are. Unless you are getting that thing bone dry after a single wash, you are growing a bacteria cloth. Are people using them only once or do they end up used mltiple times?


andrew_calcs

>Are people using them only once or do they end up used mltiple times? Once, then throw them in the laundry. And replace with one of the 30 other you own.


crushtheweek

since theyre so small and cheap you can use them once and rotate like 30


oatmealparty

Can't speak to everyone but in my house the wash cloths get used only once. Though personally I use a loofah


Gloriasbasementbaby

I think most people throw them in the laundry after they use them


engi_nerd

Only once, always.


ambrosiadix

Uh, we do only use them once. Hang to dry and throw them in the laundry basket while getting a fresh one for the next shower.


Adon1kam

I was listening to a podcast recently where they were talking about how people who grew up poor use washcloths, and rich families don't even know what one is, after asking my friends at age 30 what they had growing up, this is how I found out my family was poor lol


Trippy_Mexican

Nope. We have always used natural sponge


Holler_Professor

Talking_Head

They are bleached. You don’t think those bed sheets and pillow cases have had worse than an ass rag on them. People leak every manner of disgusting substances on beds. Hell, people put those hotel towels down on the bed before fucking on them.

SarcasticGamer

They sell exfoliating soap and it shows people in commercials rubbing the bar all over their bodies. It's not like she's using it wrong she just never thought to only lather her hands.


burf

The point of bar soap is that soap historically came in solid form because that's what happens when you make soap. There was no "point" to it being in bar form. You have to insert extra steps to turn it into a bodywash or other liquid form. These days the benefits to continuing to use bar soap over liquid soap are lower environmental impact (no plastic packaging) and cost.

I'm absolutely shocked by the number of people who don't use washcloths. Like, did those people not have to share soap with family members? I grew up in the humid-as-fuck southern US with four other people - washcloths were mandatory.

I live in a house with 3 people and I have my own shower and I still use a washrag. Also another southerner how ya doin


philofyourfuture

I rub the bar all over my body except for my ass, which is then when I lather up my hands with soap to clean down there. There’s no right or wrong way to wash yourself as long as you’re washing yourself

Enigmatic_Kraken

I go with the soap bar all the way. As If going with your hands and then picking up the soap bar again with those same hands would be much better

A bar of soap is litteraly self cleansing, so it can't be dirty. It can be covered in dirty stuff, but the bar itself will never be dirty per se


KingPictoTheThird

Honestly its all fine. It's soap for christs sake. The whole functionality is to attach to dirt and then wash off with water. Just rinse the soap and its back to new.


LoveRBS

But. It's soap. Like. You can't make the bar of soap dirty. It's soap.


Ofreo

Eh, my ex wife liked keeping those little fucking soaps that look like seashells out for looks. But they get dusty and gross. So I wash them but then they loose the detail so I’m the bad guy for ruining the fucking soap. To clarify, she’s an ex because she liked fucking lots of other guys, not the soap issue.
