Do You Wash Your Legs?

I can’t believe the latest news about the online poll which says that 20% of people DON’T wash their legs! Are you shocked by this? Supposedly, a lot of people think that having soapy water running down their bodies is good enough. This reminded me of a similar argument I had with someone in the past – be grateful that I’m not going into THAT!

I DO – every single time I have a shower. I also scrub the soles of my feet & in between my toes – every single time.

Anyway:

1. Do you wash your legs in the shower?

2. Are you shocked that 20% of people DON’T?

    I get hubby to wash my back as I’m not able to.

    Why on Earth would people not wash their legs?

    Ewww!

    I wash everything! I love standing under warm water , I find it relaxing so drag it out by making sure everything is squeaky clean.

    • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

      I don`t know how I missed your comment, LadyLola. Yes, I like being squeaky clean ALL OVER, too! 🙂

    Behind my ears 100%!! Every time with my face cleanser. I do all around and inside my ears! Doesn’t everyone? Haha!

  • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

    I always wash my legs and feet

  • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

    I’d like to raise another body part for consideration. How many of you wash behind your ears on a daily basis?

    • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

      I do wear a shower cap but I find that when I wash around my neck I do go up under the showercap to do behind my ears. Also when I cleanse off my face at night, I always do behind the ears also. I sort of have to be careful as I get dermatitis in my ears so can`t let soap and some products get in there.

      Behind the ears? Definitely! When I don`t wash my hair, I wear a shower cap so I can get right in there, as well as the back of my neck.

    Haha! I wash my legs once a day.. but I scrub my feet and in between my toes every time I shower. I think people don’t wash their backs too..?? I don’t always do my back.

    • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

      What?

      So now people aren`t washing their backs either? I wash my back completely, from a-hole to breakfast time!

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        Hahaha!!

        When I had my shower this morning I made a mental note to see how I did wash my back. I run the soap around my neck and nape and get as much soap on the top of my back as I can. I am restricted with how far I can move my arm to a height though, but I can get to about the top half of my back and then I take the soap and bring it from the waist up. Surely doing that must wash most of the back.

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        When I had a shower, I stopped before the legs & thought: what if I just stopped here? I considered this for about a second & got the heebie-jeebies.

        Doesn`t everybody grab diagonal corners of the flannel when they scrub their backs? Hold one corner over right shoulder then grab other corner with left hand at shoulderblade or waist height, depending on the size of your flannel; scrub, then swap sides.

        I hadn`t considered what those with mobility issues do. It sounds like you`re washing your whole back to me.

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        Years ago when growing up, I remember doing the flannel exactly as you mentioned above misf but these days, no way can I do that in our small shower. Honestly, whoever built this house were midgets I am sure. Even the kitchen sink was really low. I know there are long handled brushes out there but that`s too hard for people with shoulder issues.

    • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

      Yes backs are so hard to do. Good point there.

  • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

    I’m scared to ask this now: does everyone wash their …

    • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

      Hang on, I`m slow. What`s the euphemism here?

      If you mean my “”box””, I keep that pristine on a daily basis. Thanks for asking!

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        He`s washing his ass! (Ass as in donkey.) It`s more of an American joke because most of us say aRse instead of ass.

    • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

      Hahaha not outdoors like that, but yes, twice a day

  • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

    So do you wash your hair every night too? I’m guessing that’s the same thing, people could see that as gross. Personally forcme over washing leads to skin dryness and irritation. But I don’t produce much natural oils or even sweat, hardly at all.

  • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

    I do. I typically shower twice a day and wash my leg all the way down. I pay particular attention to my knees as I have a lot of dry skin which I scrub away in the shower. For feet, depending on how lazy I am. If I have the energy to bend down then I scrub between my toes as well. If not, I just quickly lift them up and scrub the bottom of my feet.

    I don’t know… I can’t say I’m surprised that people don’t wash their legs. I have read so many other shockers like some people only shower every week or twice a week. I try very hard not to judge, but it’s really difficult. People who admit not showering every day say themselves don’t stink – but one can’t smell their own BO I reckon…

  • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

    ME too!! It completely grosses me out if I don`t hear water running and I know someone has left the washroom….ICKKK

    And then those that spend .001 second washing…
