A Slippery Subject

In our shower caddy, I counted 10 bottles of things and 2 jars of cream which my wife and daughter seem to require as part of their washing routine. I have to precariously balance my small bottle of head and shoulders in a tiny gap which they begrudgingly have left for me, with this singular product being more than adequate to wash my hair and the rest of my body.

Why do women require so many soaps and creams. when the whole point is that the water rinses it all off anyway?

Just one of life's little mysteries Dex, I'm the same a bottle of shower gel does everything and just hangs on a hook....

Re: A Slippery Subject

I only use two items, shower gel and hair shampoo, the rest of my stuff like, body and face creams, comb, razor etc. are in the bedroom on my dresser.

Here's another thing. Last week we decided to have a bit of a clothes clear out, ready for when the charity shops reopen. It involved throwing out approx 80% of my clothes, thus providing extra space in the wardrobe for my wife to hang her "overflow" stuff which had been hanging on a hook on the spare bedroom door. She threw out 1 singular blouse.

Everyone has their own preferences of shampoos, conditioners and creams. I think the idea with conditioners is that some stays there after the rinse.

It's not so bad in our shower room now that people don't stay. The shower caddy has 4 bottles of liquid in it. I have to admit that one of the extra bottles is mine. A conditioner for unruly dry fly-away hair (it doesn't work that well).

One item I'm pleased with is a shower caddy that stays on the wall by suction pads. It's the first one of this type we've had that doesn't come unstuck and crash to the floor in the middle of the night.

What is a mystery is how men manage to use shower gel effectively without a bath lily or sponge. Seems to be a splash it all over and rub it in technique

Re: A Slippery Subject

This is perfectly sufficient!!

Re: A Slippery Subject

☺ the bath lily makes efficient use of shower gel creating a luxuriant foam. For some reason men feel it's not a manly item. Can't think why...

What about a back brush?

Re: A Slippery Subject

Have to admit I use a sponge Annie....

Re: A Slippery Subject

Wet the water, then put the shampoo liberally, then wash the water out. How difficult can that be?
