I remember one friend saying they started showering by cleaning their butt and the collective gasp was LOUD

Unprovoked is right…like how did that become known? Why did people feel the need to tell us? Why are they proud of this fact? And where on the legs do they stop and say, “the rest will figure itself out”?

Yes, but…that really is what a lot of doctors recommend to avoid drying out the skin.
>**Target key areas**. Unless you’ve been mud wrestling, you probably don’t need to soap your entire body every day. “Generally, the only areas you need to consistently wash are your face, armpits and groin area,” says Dr. Khetarpal.

Y’all thinking about white people in the shower?

This is a mystery issue and I won’t ever understand how this one came to be.
White man, 52. I wash top to bottom. With a spongy thing my wife provides. Does a terrific job on sweat bumps. Is that called exfoliation?

I guess I’m willing to be the white person who confirms that they don’t always get washed.
Take this morning for example. I scrubbed the hell out of myself down to my thighs and then just ran out of steam. I washed my feet but them knees and shins and calves just gotta take care of themselves.
I have to wash my hair 365 days a year, I’m TIRED. I have to double shampoo! So damn tired. It’s exhausting. Every. damn. day.
I work inside and I don’t get ashy. I just don’t care that much about legs, I don’t know what to tell ya.

Just make sure to launder the washcloth frequently and replace the loofa regularly. If it starts smelling like mildew and you’re scrubbing it all over your skin, your skin will smell like mildew too. You might get nose blind to it and not notice. There are definitely people out there who smell like mildew.

I’ll be honest I don’t think black people actually spend time scrubbing their legs, but there is such a cultural taboo about it that they all lie. Go on and delete my post but you know it’s true.

literally the running joke for centuries about europeans is that you “could smell them from miles away” likeeeeeee France didn’t bathe until like 1960 when it became standard 🫠
I’m white and I too was horrified, please don’t think it’s all of us because I don’t wanna be associated with those dirty bitches

Tbh it was watching the show The Neighborhood and this was brought up. It changed how I shower forever I use a loofah/cloth and cleanse everything, including legs and feet

It genuinely made me scrub twice as hard because I don’t want to be anywhere close to being that dirty

The steriotype that americans and europeans dont take shower is only about white ppl? If Yes, thats makes MORE sense than the original understandmant that I had

This is a dumb rumor. There is also a rumor that we do not use washcloths. And there’s another myth that we only bathe once a month or some shit. All of this is false. I have 2 washcloths, a loofah a back brush, etc. White people aren’t lacking hygiene skills generally. Now I do know plenty of white people who just don’t care and stink, like filling the room with their funk 🤢 They call themselves wooks. It’s really odd. Gross

I still wash my legs. And still run shit.
“White people don’t wash their legs.” “White people don’t use spices.” “White people clap on the 1 and 3.”
400 years of systemic oppression and that’s the best gaslight for feeling superior? Y’all invented peanut butter. Stand proud on those clean legs!
Hi, 41 year old white dude here! Wtf???
I hadn’t heard this my whole life, but I guess that kind of explains the prevalence of athlete’s foot commercials I saw growing up.
“Are you a serious athlete [and/or don’t know how to bathe properly]? Tough actin’ Tinactin!”
Ugh, sorry, y’all. I’ll have a word with my people…
