Spinoff to towel thread......other germalicious things

As I got ready today I couldn't help but to start thinking about a few things and have questions for you...

1- What do you use to wash your body? I use a washcloth and Dh uses a loofah. I remember people saying they skeeve washcloths but now I need to know what you use instead! I use a new one everyday and usually bleach those suckers. Plus I don't feel clean unless I use one!

2 - Also how often do you change your toothbrush? I don't get skeeved often but I do when I think of my toothbrush!!! Sometimes I soak it in listerine.

3 - And how often do you change your razorblade?? I wonder what kind of bacteria is built up on there...I mean I do use it on my legs, armpits and other private areas!!!

1- I use my hands and the soap, no washcloth or loofah. Though I do use a pumice stone sort of thing on my heels in the shower

2- I change my toothbrush every couple of months.

3- I change my razor blade at least every few days, but more or less depending on how often i use it.

1- What do you use to wash your body? I use one of those poof things and I replace them a lot. I think I am going to just start using my hands though because thinking about them, they are kind of gross right?

2 - Also how often do you change your toothbrush? When I remember to, like when I notice it is getting gross.

3 - And how often do you change your razorblade?? I use Intuition so i use it intil the 'lotion' runs out. Usually three shaves.

1. just use soap and water or body wash; DH uses a washcloth and it skeeves me, not sure why.

2. when the bristles start to fray outwards i change them; usually every few months or so

3. not often enough, especially since we both have the male/female version of the same razor and he keeps stealing my blades! maybe 1x a month? I also laser though so i don't need to shave that much.

1- What do you use to wash your body? Alternate between the poof thing... and washcloth gloves from CVS.

2 - Also how often do you change your toothbrush? Every 3 months.

3 - And how often do you change your razorblade?? After 4 or 5 shaves - I use it on my armpits and legs.

edit to change sponge to poof - I couldn't remember the name

I have a loofah sponge that I use 99% of the time. Ive never had a problem with washcloths tho.

I change my toothbrush probably every 4 months.

And my razor blade every few days but this also depends on how often I use it.

Re: Spinoff to towel thread......other germalicious things

1- washing my body... I use a loofah and I change it when I feel I need to... I actually use one on my feet (NOT THE SAME ONE!) so when I feel its time to get a new body one then I throw out the old feet one and the old body one becomes the new feet one... make sense??
2- toothbrush- change it every couple of months
3- razor- DH and I use disposables- I actually prefer them, so I just throw it out after about 5/6 shaves...

I buy my intuition refills from BJs, they are expensive but disposables are only made for a few shaves, after that they are so dull - its like not shaving at all ( in my experience) and you are more likely to cut yourself.

I thought I was alone.

1. I use a puff and I have to replace mine. However, I packed one on my hm and didn't use it once-I used a washcloth or my hands.

2. Toothbrush is replaced way too long after it's supposed to be. I did buy new ones for us for the hm.

3. As mentioned above about once a month-not only because they're expensive but because I have sensitive skin and I swear that the new blade always cuts me up. I'm scared lol. Also I haven't seen bar soap in my shower in years to rub it on and I find that that makes it worse.

Re: Spinoff to towel thread......other germalicious things

1- the poof thing which I replace pretty often. or just my hands and soap
2- every 3-4 months
3- I use the disposable razors so after 4-5 uses they're no good anymore anyway.

Re: Spinoff to towel thread......other germalicious things

1) I use a pouf and shower gel. I replace it when it gets too loose

2) toothbrush every 3 months or so.

3) after it stops working so well. I don't count shave so I don't know off hand.

Re: Spinoff to towel thread......other germalicious things

DH and I both use bar soap.

I change my toothbrush every few months or when it starts looking frayed. I like to buy the ones with the blue striped bristles in the middle b/c that tells you when to replace

I have to admit, I don't change my razor blades that often! I get dozens of good shaves out of one blade so I don't feel like it's necessary to change it that much. I rinse it every day and plus, those bad boys are crazy expensive!! Esp the good ones.

What do you use to wash your body? i use body wash and just do it with my hands. I dont like loofah's or a wash cloth.


Also how often do you change your toothbrush? About every 2-3 months

And how often do you change your razorblade?? Probably every month. I usually buy 3 or more a time so even when i need a new one i usually have a bunch at home.

What do you use to wash your body?
I used to use body wash w/loufa but than my dermo told me about all the bacteria that grows on the loufa
Soap bars used to skeve me - but I found some all natural homemade products by LUSH that make my skin smell and feel great that this is my new obsession.

Also how often do you change your toothbrush?
Every 3 months

And how often do you change your razorblade??
I use the Cucumber Melon schick Intuition Razor so whenever that runs to the bottom that is how I know I need the refill

Re: Spinoff to towel thread......other germalicious things

agh, DH uses a loofah which skeeves me big time. Those things get mold all in them after a short while. I use nothing except my hands and body wash.

Toothbrushes, hmm, whenever I think of it I guess. Prob should more often. They gross me out.

Razors, I tend to use ones with soap refills (Shick intuition) and the soap part runs out kinda quick, so I'm changing that alot. Nothin dirty about those. When I use a regular razor with no refill for the top, I chuck those out pretty often and use new ones too bc it seems theyre only really good at shaving when they're really new and have only been used a handful of times.

You forgot to ask about sponges!! The worst household offender in my book. I HATE touching them so I avoid it at all costs!! DH uses the sponge alot. I think EW why am I cleaninng things I eat off of with something probably FILLED with bacteria. They smell musty in no time. I just need to get a bunch and switch really often so i dont get grossed out.
