How would being a massage therapist give you insight into bathing practices of white people? I go to a massage therapist and they don't have showers there, nor do any of the massage therapy clinics I've ever been to. Or are you talking about a certain type of "massage" because I could see why they would have showers 😅. I'm white, my whole family and friends I grew up with use washcloths. Even my great grandparents had them. I asked Chatgpt for historical references to washcloths from European countries, here was the answer: "Historical references to washing with cloths in European countries can be found dating back to ancient times. In ancient Rome, for example, bathing was a common practice, and individuals used a combination of oils and scrapers to cleanse their bodies. In medieval Europe, public bathhouses became popular, and people would use cloths or sponges for personal hygiene during these communal bathing sessions. Additionally, various cultures in Europe developed their own bathing traditions, often involving the use of cloths or similar materials for cleaning."

Wash your face in the sink with the face cleanser, Not in the shower. It should be the first thing that you wash before getting into the shower. Shower soap was for the body. And we use individual cotton balls to wipe our face, discard it, moisturize it then get into the shower. If it’s the hair washing day, the face will be washed properly with the extra face wash bottle that I leave in the shower area. And not with a wash cloth. I even taught my kids to do that.

[@NaturalBrownCupcake]

To those who think a washcloth harbors germs, that's because you're thinking the same one is used everyday. I own many and change my washcloths, face cloths and towels regularly so there isn't a build up of germs. Then, on laundry day, I wash them all. Just buy a bunch and change your cloths often between laundry days. I even use exfoliation gloves and wash those in laundry too. Exfoliation is good for sloughing off dead skin here and there just like we do on the face.

[@NaturalBrownCupcake]

@@chasegainsovahoes663 Get some soft washcloths at Target, TJMaxx or similar stores. You don't have to bleach them. I usually wash all my towels and washcloths together in a warm load with detergent and pine sol (pine sol is a personal preference and not necessary). Also, use gentle detergent if you have sensitive skin or allergies. The reason I say to use a soft washcloth is because it's less rough on the skin. Then, every once in a blue moon, I'll exfoliate my skin. Hope that helps.

[@NaturalBrownCupcake]

@Daniel Langer Thanks for sharing. I don't ever have that problem using washcloths. I also moisturize with body cream and lotion daily and my skin stays moist. Also, did you realize that a soap bar or body wash ALONE is "stripping " as you put it? They contain sulfates, so it's important to moisturize after only using a "stripping" soap. If you're avoiding washcloths because they strip, then don't use soap either or moisturize.

Ohk, I am brown and I would prefer wash cloth. Simply because loofah is way too harsh on your skin and it accumulates bacteria in the creases. It's not easy to wash them either. On the contrary wash clothes are gentle on skin, work well with body washes and can be washed right away and be dried along with the towel. Its easy to get the dirt out from a wash clothes especially the light colored ones than a loofah. Moreover i have a jug in the shower and while I am done with my shower I simply turn some hot water into the jug leave my washcloth until I am done with my skin care, then I go back squeeze the wash cloth and dry it along with my towel.

It's not a race thing, it's a cultural thing. It's just that in America, being black is not just our race it's also the culture that ties all the descendants of enslaved Africans together no matter what their tribe was. And culturally, black people (who have African ancestry) brought their bathing habits and cleansing traditions with them from Africa and still practice them today and that tradition includes bathing with cloth. Europe, however, does not have the same cultural bathing practices so descendants are much less likely to have learned washcloth use from their parents, grandparents, and on down the line. This does not mean that ALL white people don't use them today, it means that on average the African diaspora around the world use some sort of cloth to bathe with and on average those with European ancestry do not. It's the same with daily body oils. Most folks with European ancestry don't use body oils after the bath or shower. You just dry off and dressed.

I am from Eastern Europe and everybody here uses sponges. It used to be natural sponges, but now syntethic ones are everywhere and dirt cheap. I don't like the synthetic ones. A rather new (from last decades) widely used product is the loofah or shower sponge that is like a plastic mesh. Better than synthetic sponge. I lived in UK for a while and I found out they don't use solid soap. It's all liquid soap and shower gels or creams and loofah. I even asked an old lady, about 60 year old and she didn't remember ever using solid soap for showering. Some shops still have a small variety of solid soaps like Dove and Imperial Leather, but they are nothing compared to the offers for liquid soaps and shower gels. I tried using a small towel for shower in the past, but I found out it doesn't work at all. There are also some gloves for shower, quite decent, but they don't last. I kind of tried everything and in the end I can say the best for everyday shower is simply bar soaps and hands. It's fast and pleasant. But every other day I need to use a loofah with shower gel to exfoliate. Best solid soap after trying everything is Dove. The most ridiculous thing I ever heard is that soap can get dirty. Even if you rub it on your butthole, the moment you put it under water is clean in an instant, as the superficial layer that was in contact with your body is washed away. Even going in the shower after a person that used it last to wash his ass, the first thing will be to put it under water anyway.

[@NoName-nj4mw]

They use their bare hands and think they are clean smh. You don't clean anything else with a bare hand and still think it's clean so how can you think your body is clean just from wiping it with your bare hands

[@brokenwindows8920]

If you used soap that naturally exfoliated ("gritty soap") you wouldnt need a wash cloth. I find it even better when people insist they are clener with a cloth but using terrible soap product like body wash that just dries out your skin anyway. Youd have less issues with dry skin needing scraped off if you used a higher qualitu soap and not Old Spice or Axe

[@jamestodd945]

My hands are like 40 grit sand paper, a washcloth be less effective. I exfoliate too lol.

[@lakeisha9671]

Everybody I know, black and white uses wash cloth, bath rag, or whatever you wanna call it. It’s nasty not to.

[@denisehughes2898]

White people use wash clothes. This is the type of stereotyping that white people have been accused of doing toward black people. Which proves that we're ALL human. I'm white and grew up using wash clothes, however, now I use a bath brush. You CAN use whatever you want to, you don't have to be bound by social conditioning. You can decide what's best for your own self.

[@Bagheera_Smoov]

[@MrsBlackButterfly]

Y’all are dumb and stupid. Who the heck uses a wash cloth without lathering it up with soap first? The debate isn’t about whether or not we use soap, it’s obvious that we do that. The debate is about using soap along with a washcloth dummy. Y’all and stupid and nasty. 😂

I've always got my hand and the soap wet, I get a lather in my hands, put the soap down, then wash myself with my hands, re-lather when I need more. How do you keep a cloth, sponge, or loofah from getting moldy from water every day?

[@mufasa3253]

You wring and hang it so it dries + constant exposure to soap

[@naebonnie]

Your suppose to wring it out. Then change washcloth at least once a week. And you should have two wash cloths one for face and other for the rest of your body.

[@death24314]

[@NTATchannelNickTaylor]

Washcloth is a must, the only way I could ever seeing me not use one is if there isn't one available. Pam is right, the name WASHCLOTH tells you exactly what it is and what it's for. So you run your hand up the crack of your ( | ) to wash it? Nope Nope Nope... Soap on washcloth and scrub your body with it. Rinse and repeat.

[@fatherson5907]

I'm white I use a washcloth I've used washcloths all my entire life. So does my entire family. I'm really confused by this whole thing.

[@BB4UK4LIFE]

I don't know any white people that don't use washclothes.

[@nagyonbalogh]

Water and soap does get you clean regardless of what you apply it with. The human body does not produce slime as some people have been implying. You have sweat, oils and dirt on you all of which is removed by a good dose of soap and hot water. As far as I see the only big difference between using a loofah/washcloth/sponge and your hands is that the former also removes dead skin cells faste than they would shed naturally. If you think that is necessary then go for it. I personally don't think it's necessary to accelerate that process unless of course you have a problem with excessive sheding. On a different note I think scrubbing your skin intensly with any of the above mentioned tools probably does more harm than good in the long run. I don't think it is healthy for our skin to be scrubbed like a plate in the sink. Skin is a living organ that should not be abused and it also needs at least some of its protective oils to stay healthy.

[@Grace2shar]

Well, you get a better rinse off with a wet wash cloth. It holds more water than your hand so those private areas get a lot more rinsing than hands alone can provide. Everyone doesn't have access to handheld shower heads.

[@nagyonbalogh]

@@Grace2shar That's a good point! I did base my statement on the availability of movable shower heads. They are pretty much ubiquitous in my neck of the woods. Not just that but also water pressure is pretty decent in most places. But lacking either you may need a washcloth or something of the sort. That I don't know to be honest.

[@SHADOWSKY10]

I'm not black, but I still use a washcloth for exfoliation. So does my family. I don't use bar soap, liquid is better. "White" girls still use loofahs. The difference is minor.

[@rt8hll]

What's nasty is that people use towels as community towels? Just because you washed it doesn't mean your family members or your guest can use it. Do you know where that towel or wash clothes have been (groin, butt crack, genitlas)?😂 Then, just because it's washed, you use it to dry your face/body. I grew up with not a lot of money, but at least my siblings/family have your own towel/wash cloth. If you share towels/ washcloths, you might as well share underwear. At least you don't put that underwear on your face.

[@ramonadixon7182]

You dont use a washcloth when you wash your hands and then you cook and eat. Chew on that! Personally I use one for bathing with liquid soap but not always with bar soap.

[@StephanieDraconia]

Does anyone use those shower poofs? I use that everywhere but "down there." I alternate between just using hands down there or washcloths. My family always used washcloths, but I never did until I started getting older. I'm white, btw.

I think people believe washing is to wash dirt ie dust and whatever they think lands on skin, hence they think they clean with just water and or soap. On another video comment someone stated " dead skin cells isn't dirt anyways" so that's my conclusion and my brain hurts less since I figured this out.
