White person here I legit just use my hands. But growing up I used a wash cloth and at one point ig I stopped and started just using my hands. But now I'm thinking of being a wash cloth person again lol. I've seen the light.
Do you use a wash cloth when you wash your hands too? Don't compare the human body to a car. One can easily bathe well without a wash cloth and just their hands, unless you're bathing after ages and have a lot of dirt to be removed from your body.
@@Desaree1 I usually bring my own due to habit. But hotel wash cloths might "accidentally" end up in my suitcase, lol! Is there a specific reason why you'd never use a hotel wash cloth?
@@sweettangel9256 Honey, are you going to take a shower? 🚿 *looks out window* 🪟 "Nah, I heard it was going to rain today." 🌧 or "I don't need a shower. I was just in the pool." Without a washcloth your just standing in the tub like "Why am I here? Oh well, let me get out." 🧍♀️ 💭
That's exactly what I do lol idk are people knee deep in shit on the regular? I'm confused. I wear pants all day that cover my legs idk how they can possibly get that dirty lol
I’m a white guy. Been using a “warsh rag” as it’s called around the south for as long as I’ve been taking baths in the kitchen sink. It’s just plain cleaner to scrub yourself with something other than just a bar of soap, ya heathens.
@@RevenFoulger-ck2kv emphasis on babies!!! After all babies are as miraculous and pure as little angels on earth!!! It’s some thing most people don’t do for their entire life unless you have no other choice! Is the only true bathroom an outhouse behind the house??? Build a damn indoor bathroom.!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ttna77 Sadly, these days, it's hard to tell what is parody and what is not. If your response was a send up, I give you a voila kiss, that was on point. If your outrage was in earnest, then I think you missed a few things. You were the one who said the OP's words were somehow racist. Which supposed that you assumed the poster's race. Because how can a Southern white person be racist against a Southern white person? Or a Detroit "Mexican" be racist against a Detroit "Mexican"? That doesn't make sense. People are People? People are not homogeneous and never have been. Male, female; tall, short; athletic, sedentary; talented, untalented; courageous, cowardly; religious, humanist. People are tribal, it's in our nature. If people ever became otherwise, we'd become something other than human. People also see the differences in other people. That is normal. It is also normal to sometimes disagree with the differences we see, or even judge. Neither of those are inherently dumb nor racist.
@TotalDentalNerd FYI you might want to look up how much bacteria a loofa carries, You'll be absolutely shocked about the scientific facts that came out about using loofas. And how much bacteria they retain from our bodies.
Yep Never NOT seen washcloths/towels (& bunch of other stuff that actually gets ALL dirt out) in black/hispanic households js 😂 other kids when I was little were ALWAYS getting ring worm, lice, etc..All that nasty stuff. We, however, do not play that. Were always super clean & me nor my friends never got those type of things, & blk ppl dont get dirty lice or stringy grease hair anyway lol. That tiktoker is not helping himself out with that one. Haha ig his family just stands in the water. He just LOOKS like one of those musty ones with wet dog smell bc I knew someone just like him. (He wasnt poor, discovered he was just lazy & didnt like to shower after I already donated him my old CLEAN clothes & money thinking he was on hard times or smtn 😐 Nope. Just a musty streamer who spent money on gaming) The fact he calls em “tiny towels” says enough…if you dk the name of stuff you should be using everyday..
@@nicoleraheem1195 I use one cloth, since I was a child I rinsed my body off with warm water before I use the soap and rag, that farm life something serious n I got stuck like that 😂😂😂😂
If you don't use a plastic/natural loofah/Moroccan loofah/silicon scrubbers/African net sponge/korean bath towel/exfoliating glove/washcloth, you musty as hellll
Washcloths also help with exfoliation and the movement helps circulation in the skin ( your body's largest organ 🙂). Esp in the morning when you wake up. 👍🏾
@@katsnboots4709 Surprise, no one leaves their wash cloth to get mold or mildew, it is replaced daily or every other day and you get a fresh one while that one is in the wash, who is the one using mildewy stuff now, you lot just hang your loofah in the bathroom and reuse it.
@@elin_ it honestly depends on the person and how hard the scrub, you also moisturize though. Just like you wash and moisturize your face you should be doing the same to your body.
@@lovd888 I do wash my body with shower gel, and moisturize with body lotion. I just don't use a wash cloth.. doesn't mean that I'm dirty. And a towel won't moisturize.
@@elin_it's actually good for your skin to have that exfoliation. It's not like it's sandpaper. However I can see your point with say a loofah or scrub gloves. Using those everyday can be too much on the skin. But you definitely need some form of daily (minimal) exfoliation as soap alone isn't enough. Side note: as an American who doesn't own a bidet, I don't feel clean unless I hit my booty crack with a wash cloth 🤷🏾♀️
Exfoliating rag for body…soft rag for unmentionables and long brush for back….pumice stone for feet…. Face is a whole series by itself. Self care is life.
Weirdly, in Scotland and Ireland, both of them, it is VERY hard to get a washcloth in your hotel room. I had to make a special request at All the hotels for a washcloth.
I experienced cultural shock in Colombia. No washcloths in any of the hotels I’ve been to here. I even asked for them in the best broken Spanish I could and ended up with a bunch of full-sized towels 😂
Had to learn it later on, since my pops knew but was too shy to share that knowledge and mom didn't grow up black. And lemme tell you, all those years of unexfoliated skin... 💀🙏🏿
Why does he think washcloths are even a thing if supposedly no one uses them, what does he think they're there for? You go into the bath section of any Walmart, any Target they're right there. Why else does he possibly think that is? I'm....so confused
Yes, we are real! I have over 14 of those and I use one per day, to wash my face and to scrub my body. When I have used 7 of them, I do a wash, with all other towels and whites. They are an essential part of my hygiene.
No lie, had a white roommate in college when I lived in a dorm. Since it was a dorm, we had to use communal showers. He only ever left the room with his head and shoulder’s shampoo and a towel to go shower. Same guy would eventually ask me why I used lotion on my skin 🤦🏾♂️
I grew up with washcloths and my roommates in the military were Black guys. As a white guy i just found out this was a thing that white folk dont use washcloths. I had one roomie that asked if someone left their Palmers in the bathroom and im like "its mine" he said "wtf you know about Palmers lotion".
@@lordjaashinhaha. I didn't even think about that. Personally I do use shampoo and conditioner that contains natural oils and I use that on any parts of my body that are dried out. Dermatologist one stone me to use Johnson & Johnson name brand baby shampoo on any areas that sensitive or dry because it's gentle
I use a body brush switch is similar to a loaf but I really wouldn't care about using a washcloth. I mean how to take a shower at a hotel, all they supply is wash clothes
U can use a loofah instead but yeah of course you need something abrasive to exfoliate dead skin… I’m white and i was taught to use a washcloth, now I’m wondering who I know who is white that doesn’t really wash in the shower… lmao
I've had to do the unthinkable because no wash cloth was located 😢 I've never washed so long and thoroughly in my life 😂 it was an experience I only have dealt with I dire straights
@@juju_dAlchemistRIGHT! I grabbed some from Walmart or even dollar tree just to keep in my travel bag. I toss them at the vacation place bc I'm not bringing THAT environment back to my home, but i CAN'T not use a washcloth and/ or gloves
I get it if you work in an environment where you have things do scrub off your body, like milking cows. But I don’t use one usually bc I don’t need that exfoliating everyday.
It's only gross if you use the same washcloth repeatedly. What more gross to me is the thought of everyone rubbing the same bar of soap all over their bodies
We also squat in public restrooms. We don't sit on the toilet. Even in hospital restrooms. I was shocked during urinalysis duty when I noticed that every melanated woman squated and everyone else sat directly on the toilet like they were at home. It literally turned into a socio-behavioral case study for me 😅.

@@c.j.r.02washcloths are not just for exfoliating. I don’t know who told y’all that. Washcloths are needed to clean your BODY correctly. Eeww I know y’all private areas and underarms smell disgusting.🤮
Exactly like they don’t have brushes for that😩😭😂😂😂😂😂 I mean if you not buying wash clothes to wash ya ass I doubt you buying the brush to wash your back😂😂😂😂😂
Was in Costa Rica this past week. Was shocked when there weren’t any washcloths at the Airbnb 😂. Went to about 5 stores to get one and they had no clue on what I was talking about.
We black people need to stop passing judgement without thinking first. We all know that people don’t change their washcloth for days or even a week. If you are going to use one…it should be changed after every single use or it becomes a Petri dish of bacteria..look it up. It’s just nasty.
I think this post is just brilliant.. what a way to play the objective and spark up some serious convo for social media sake. Ingenious💯💪🏾💯..... Watch em go!!!!
@@fatshygun if it's the first time you need to wash your entire body and rinse off like 3 times to get completely not musty. After that shower at least once a day but twice is what most folks do when it's hot.
Scrub from the face bowl first. Get all the soap off. Then go to the shower. Scrubbing and rinsing first gets me very clean and keeps me safe in the shower. I started that when I turned 80..😊😊❤
I was today years old when I found out some people use washcloths in the shower. I'm like, I don't want to do extra laundry. 😂 I use liquid soap though since bar soap can grow bacteria.
I can't imagine NOT using a washcloth. Gross. I had a roommate in college who took 60 second showers with no washcloth. She smelled bad and she had itchy, flaky skin from buildup, yet she made fun of me for using a clean washcloth every day. My skin is soft and smooth, and I know I am clean.
Swear to God you really do gotta teach some grown people how to bathe. Apparently it isn't all that intuitive. My brother was like ten(obviously not grown but old enough) and I noticed his hair still stank to high heaven after a shower but he insisted he'd washed it. I told him to put some trunks on and show me how he did it. He dead ass put the shampoo on his head and immediately put his head under the water, zero lather, then looked at me like I was dumb. I said BOY! Legit had to scrub his head for him just to show him. (We had some neglectful parents, but damn I'd always figured some things would just be common sense)
@@correctandsexyaboutit lord…you’re a whole as blessing. Legit the definition of not all heroes wear capes Has he at least learned how to properly shower now ?
@@sintia12c lol yes, he was mad embarrassed about it for awhile but he never forgot! Had to do the same thing with a little cousin too, people really need to teach their kids, specifically little boys from my experience, how to properly wash!
@@correctandsexyaboutit the intuitive part got me thinking for a while and i was about to agree but then i remember how it is with us. in my place, infants to children up to maybe age 8 or something were bathed by adults until the children themselves start to learn embarrassment and begin bathing themselves, so that is definitely how we learned to do it growing up. not intuition then (at least not always) but rather things gradually picked up from the adults in a home. perhaps your parents’ neglect really did play a part. it sounded like you have been more of the parent to your sibling than your actual parents.
@@correctandsexyaboutit or it could also be an issue of “how tf do i use this shampoo to keep clean” rather than the intuition to clean one’s self. like the video as well. the man knew he had to bath to clean himself but had no idea as to how to properly do it. probably couldn't process the logic behind skin and dead cells.
You need to use one and you wouldn't sweat and have stinky shirts, funky feet, and order overall if you used a rag. Your body is like dishes you need a rag, soap, and lather otherwise you just rinsed off. But they call us filthy animals 🤦🏽♀️
You telling me there’s people who DON’T have a whole drawer or shelf of these in their homes and then when they get really old we buy new ones and use the old ones as “cleaning” “rags” 😭😭😂 crazy it’s a whole new world
Yes!!! All my old wash cloths become my new cleaning rags!! I have a whole shelf in my linen closet designated to wash cloths. Soon as they start getting raggedy they get transferred to a drawer in my kitchen where I keep the rags! I’m sure most everybody does this! This man must be playing talking about “wash cloth people”😂😂😂
Depends on the job/location/activity. On my first deployment, I had visible dirt on my white towels and saw grey water running off me/squeezing out of my color towels. Especially after I picked up running when I was there. (I have an office job). I almost exclusively use white towels to bathe now, but being back home, I don't see dirt come off of me like that but for a few situations.
I’m pretty sure these posts are trolling black people. Not using seasoning and all the food prep and cleanliness stuff, just act like you don’t know what they’re talking about. They’ll pat each other on the back and feel really good about “winning”🎉😉👍
I always wondered why they never used one in soap commercials. I tried it and it doesn’t do anything. Then I thought well maybe it’s to show off the soap. But college and military showed me…NOPE they just don’t use em’😂
It's an actual thing my grandma would talk about it back in the 30s when she was a lil girl ..it's a practice. That goes way way back due to lack of indoor plumbing and buckets of hot water were use to fill up tubs and barrels ...if y'all think this was bad try using a chamber pot aka slop jar to go to the bathroom at night cause you don't want to deal with the cold or possible snakes while going to the out house 🤷🏾....and they would just rub the soap on their body no cloth at all while we were told to get that rag and scrub 🤣🤣 ...
He just nasty and stupid man 😒, I had White roommates when I was in training for FA and I had 2 White female roommates and they use facecloths, towels, loofahs and everything else we use to take a shower or bath White women use it to, to get tan lotion off of then, when they take a shower Since it's so gross, I wonder what does he use to take a bath ot shower He probably just stand in the shower, with the water running and says I'm done.
@@morganfaith27 I use both loofa for my body and washcloth for my face but I do throw out my loofas every 3 months (which is probably too long) so if I run out of loofas or feel it’s time to change it early I can always rely on a clean washcloth to use.
Tbh, i thought this was about a loofah/sponge guy having someone against wash cloth people. It didn't even cross my mind that he could be using only soap, cause i can't even fanthom the thought
Do Americans use... Sponges? And exfoliating gloves? :'D there are things besides wash cloth... I mean for me it just actually seems not exfoliating enough...
@@amandamotekaityte5681 Why would anyone use exfoliating gloves or sponges that are gross, germ filled and stink? I know you aren’t washing them after every use. Wash clothes exfoliate plenty to btw.
Fellow washcloth person here. I got loufas, bath brushes, and pumice stones. And I got bars of soap, liquid soap, bath bombs, bubble baths, and sugar scrubs. Don't even get me starts on what I hot to clean the tub/ entire bathroom, and the towels/ watchclothes.
He’s definitely a “in the summer I don’t wash all the time because I get in the pool” type of person 😂 (and yes I’ve had folks that look like him say that to me.)
@@Faesharlyn i scrub my nuts with my hands, i scrub my back with my hands, i scrub my feet with my hands. Y’all really saying people don’t wash themselves because they don’t have a nasty reused rag in their shower. It’s quite nas
I learned that in The Army. In basic we have to display our towels and wash cloths in port wall lockers. All the Black dudes bought extra ones from the PX. Whites boys didn’t 😂
Unless you use a different washcloth everyday it does seem kinda gross. I wash with my hands and wash my hands after each “dirty part” of the baby to stay clean 🤷🏾♀️
@@MiVidaBellisima Of course you're supposed to use a fresh washcloth every day. And the point of the towel isn't to protect your hands from getting dirty lol. It's to thoroughly clean yourself. Bare hands can't do what terrycloth does.
@@MiVidaBellisima OF COURSE YOU USE A DIFFERENT WASH CLOTH!! The hell is wrong with you?? *edit* I was so "moved" by your comment I didn't even notice the dude right above me said the same thing
That’s disgusting…. You should be cleaning yourself every time you sit on the toilet whether you’re having a bowel movement or urinating. You should wash yourself with water, then use toilet paper. So that way you’re already clean when you take a shower. Otherwise you have those crusted up poop balls going in your washcloth and in your tub 🤢🤮
"Exfoliating clothes"(not wash clothes) air out and gently remove dead skin. Using exfoliating clothes allow moisturizer and fragrance to adhere to the skin. Terry clothes are better than using nothing at all. Be blessed. No judgement zone.
