Hubs definitely uses my shampoo and body scrub (ginger orange, smells nice) but we use our own soap.

There will never be enough brain bleach to clean up this thread, and all of your collective body parts. But dayum, it's funny.

LMAO. I like to think nothing I'm doing back there (down there?) is abnormal. I don't scrub it, but I definitely wash it. I'm not pooping violently out of my arms or face, but I wash them too. But hopefully you are not wiping toilet paper on your arms and face several times a day either. How does one wash but not scrub?
We use wipes in the powder room for cleaning.

What about wipes, Archie? I'm sure no one will notice you walking into the men's room with them. I used to use wipes. I love wipes. But then the toilet backed up into the office and the plumber said that there was a mass of wipes clogging it up. HR even sent out a notice not to use wipes.

It just occurs to me that MJ missed, among so many other things, the infamous flushable wipes thread! Of which I do remember Arch was a strong proponent... Might even be worth looking that one up MJ

no, I remember the adult wipes thread. We actually have some at home, but I only use them when I've had a particularly bad GI day and the skin is sensitive. They say they're flushable but I remember someone in that thread (for some reason I think it was milee) said that the wipes really shouldn't be flushed. I do flush mine, but I only use 1, maybe 2 at any given toileting episode. Arch, how many are you using that you're clogging up the work pipes?!

Flushable wipes are horrible for the environment, they shouldn't be used with a septic at all and will even cause plumbing problems for people on city sewer. Wastewater treatment plants HATE them.

We have an only office building and I think the plumbing was screwy. If I remember correctly the plumber said "I have never seen anything like this before. Apparently there was a pump that actually got clogged. Not sure why there would be a pump, though, since we are on ground level.

OK, laundry. How much laundry do people do On my homeschooling forum there are often threads about routines and schedule and on ever single post there are "I do 2-3 loads of laundry a day" I don't get that. I have 3 kids who get VERY messy. I still only do a few loads a week. So, even if the entire family shared one towel, I would probably save 10 laundries a year or something. I have 4 teenagers, I do a lot of laundry. They can get funky smelling. Also, it is so humid here, towels always dry smelling gross. We can use a towel 2 times tops before it has to be washed again. We all use a different towel though! I am NOT using a towel my husband dried his b@lls and a$$ with.

We are poof people. My wife and I share a poof. The poof is used for everything except the face (which is done with hands and soap). The poof hangs in the shower to dry. You SHARE a poof? Gah!!!!
hmmmm, I wonder if he secretly uses mine? I'm going to install a camera in the shower.
My husband better NOT be scrubbing his butt hole with my poof!!!!! I will shank him!

I don't use poofs, but get them as gifts-- constantly. I have, like, 50 give or take. I'll send them to y'all to give to your husbands. Is peach a good color?

removed quote as I wasn't really responding to it, more of a general question. How often do you guys replace or wash your poofs?

I always wash them on hot and dry right away do to allergy issues. Poof is probably not replaced as often as it should be. Maybe twice a year?

I'm sorry Lizard Queen - I started to type something else on poofs, changed my mind and didn't delete your post.

I know people that don't like so many fixed expenses due each month and I'm sure would appreciate MM and his followers efforts.
I think MM is kind of a sham though. Awhile ago someone told me that he lives off his rental properties and all of his blog income goes to charity. Sure, the way that it was phrased in his blog post touting that certainly gives the impression that he gives it all away. If you read between the lines, he's actually putting all the blog income (besides salary he takes) into an investment account where he'll look for investments that will provide returns for charity. In other words, the money is still his and he MIGHT give some of the returns to charity (maybe).
I question all the things guys like this say. Is he frugal? Probably. Is he as frugal as he says? No way. It's kinda like Tim Ferriss who put out the book "4 hour work week" and said that people should limit their work and do fun stuff in their leisure. Then when he really wasn't practicing what he was preaching and was getting called on it, he said "Well, the book is more about productivity and not necessarily working 4 hours a week".

How did you train your friends to give you poofs?!?! They like to give BBW/ body wash as gifts. A poof often accompanies it to round out the gift. The last time I got a really nice Philosophy body wash with a poof.

I really dont see how it would save you money. You could just go longer without washing them. The number of times you can dry a body can stay.the same.
I am not overly worried about sharing a towel for.sanitary reasons, but we both shower in the morning. Who wants to use a cold wet towel at 6 am? Or really any time? Towels should be dry to make them effective.

You guys crack me up! One question - how much alcohol was consumed as people posted .
I'm divorced, so I'm the only one using towels around here. My kids are adults so it's up to them when they were living here last year how often they changed out their own towels. I have two towel racks so I use the first one for a couple of days and then switch them (one is closer to the shower). Washcloths are for face only. Poof for all else. If I found the ex was using my stuff he'd have been singing soprano. Yuck.
We have issues with things stinking when washed but I think mine are due to the issues with a front loader washer and dryer doesn't dry things properly. I hang the towels (and everything else) out to finish drying though.

I saw this on FB the other day and it fits this thread well.
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, so I wanted to share it. I'm not sure what is funnier, the way he says "poop at work" or the "turd burglar"
