I shove my foot into bottom edge of the bath and lean my hip against the wall bending my body. Lift one foot and scratch the fuck out of it with my fingernails. Switch and repeat.
My legs, the shower is small and I am tall so it's a lot of work to actually soap them up properly. Usually I only bother maybe every second or third shower.
I use a very small plastic stool I stole from my daughter when her toddler outgrew it. Absolute game changer for washing legs. My wife loves it too for shaving her legs.
Has to be my back. It's hard to reach even with a back brush because of degenerative issues in my shoulder joints. I tried one of those scrubbers with the two ropes, but it's hard to control. Need a bigger shower so my wife can wash it for me...and get my back while she's at it!
Dunno if this is good or bad for you. But I recently switched shower gel and decided to properly scrub my back. BOOM! 2 days later my back is filled with acne. I bust about a dozen spots that are now large craters in my back.
I never had that problem when I just let it handle itself while using bar-soap.
Sometimes I tell myself I’m gonna get in, soap up, rinse, get out, two minutes tops.
Then I’m just standing there in the hot water ten minutes later. Knowing l’ll be late for work if I don’t move. And just standing there, trying to somehow soak up enough heat to internalize the comfort and make it mine.
Same. The only time my legs and feet get scrubbed is in the bath. It's just too awkward to balance in the shower. If I suffered from stinky feet, I'd do it, but I don't, so I don't.
Having been there; see if you can get a diagnosis. The medication is way cheaper and allowed me to stop self medicating completely, which has all sorts of other benefits.
I like to soak hot (non-pressurized) water into my ears, and then let the now-molten earwax flow out once I straighten up.
I also don't own a bidet, so I use the shower telephone to powerwash my asshole. If I happen to fart during that process, well, call it the poor man's enema.
Supposedly shampooing every day strips your hair of natural oils so many people will not wash their hair at all on some days or just wash with conditioner aka "cowash."
My naval! I'm very thorough when showering - I absolutely hate feeling dirty. But I think the ol' belly button gets overlooked because of how concave it is.
I used to be better about it, but the whole chose of getting it all opened and unfolded just to get my sponge in there in all the nooks and crannies it has for whatever reason, then rolling it back up and folding it into its pouch, all to have like what three, four maybe six hours before it starts smelling again. It’s just not worth it.
Not that I just let it ruin everyone’s day, mind you. I’ve always got ice breakers or altoids and at least one, often two chip clips on me at all times.
Now, I don't want to alarm you, but it sounds like you have a rather unique situation if you must unfold your naval, and that it smells after 6 hours from washing it.
This thread has made me realize how thorough I am about washing. I use a washcloth and the first things I scrub are the backs of my ears and neck, then arms, pits, torso, back, legs, tops of feet, then for last I do butt, crotch, bottoms of feet and between my toes. Then I ditch the washcloth and with just my hands I wash my bellybutton and privates.
So I guess if I missed anything it would be between my fingers and the backs of my hands.
