For fucks sake! A scrunchy?? Jesus man, how gay are you? Seriously! Squeeze the shower gel into your hands, lather up and rub on your body!
I use irish spring bar soap. I buy the liquid stuff that smells all coconutty like tanning lotion too, but I don't use it everyday. Mostly it's just for fun in case I have a shower buddy.
[George Carlin voice] Shouldn't there be a "Stop" somewhere in there? [/George Carlin voice] Plain ol' Ivory bar soap for me & the missus. Tried Lever 2K and liked it, but it clogged my pores and I broke out, so quit using it.
I can't believe I missed this thread prenecromancy. Anyway, it's all about convincing people to pay more for an inferior product. And it's even worse than you think. If you really, really, really want to use a liquid soap product rather than a bar, there's no good reason not to use the much cheaper hand soaps or "gentle" liquid dishwashing soaps instead of body wash. It's all soap with some kind of conditioning agent. When you buy body wash you're paying extra for a fru-fru smell that no one's going to notice 5 minutes after you get out of the shower. You're better off smelling like lemony fresh dishes for those 5 minutes, which is a cheaper smell and a better one anyway.
