I’ve tried one a couple of times. Felt pretty good, but not something I’ve incorporated into my shower routine. I just use a bar of dial.
By the way, what’s a ‘washcloth’?
We have both a poofy thing and a loofa in our shower and until now it never occurred to me to even ask what they were or how they were used. Mrs. H has all manner of ridiculous stuff in the bathroom and god only knows the reason for most of them or what possessed Mrs. H to buy them. I quit asking about shit like that years ago which has been great for the marriage. Inspired by this thread though, I will try the poofy as soon as I return from this business trip.

This poofter thought they were some sort of shower cap with a fungal condition.
Really.
I used to use my ex’s poofy thing to clean the bath tub. Say, maybe that’s why she had a ring around her…

I used to use them, but then found spa gloves - they lather and exfoliate better, and they’re easier to rinse and wring out.
it’s the next step. trust me.

The progression of man from ancient times to the present: From dirt and mud, sand to brick, from washcloths, then poufs, to spa gloves…who knows what the future holds, and what wonderful bathing tools await.

I live with my parents and brother and each one of us has a poofy thing and each one is of a different color. I was actually the one that turn them all in to the wonders of the poffy thing and they have never looked back.
I may be buying the crapy variety because mine only lasts for 4 or 5 months and then they start to come undone. I actually prefer it this way because I get to buy a new one in a different color. 
Washcloths suck. I used the pouf for several years, but have recently converted to Oil of Olay bar soap stuffed inside this scrubby sleeve thingy. The bar soap’s really cheap, but I’m thinking I might go back to the pouf because the liquid soap is definitely better.
WRT guys using them, I remember being surprised that my ex-boyfriend used one, but I thought it was cool that he didn’t have some phobia about it being too feminine.
Jiminy Cricket! I’ve wandered into the girl’s locker room. I hate those freaking things! They’re always in the way, or dripping cold water on me as I’m trying to towel off. And, what pathetic kind of panty-waisted, spineless, hairless, girlie-man needs a poofy thing to generate lather?!? Stop taking those estrogen supplements and grow some hair, for crying out loud.
Water and a bar of Ivory. That’s all a man needs. And, he won’t smell like a poofy thing, either.
BTW, just relayed this info to the GF. Her reaction? “Wow! Straight guys? Really? Wow, that would make me stop and think.”
Bahahahaha! 
Sorry, guys.
Sure, poufies feel nice and all, but then I need to fuss around getting the liquid whatsit, sudsing the Thingie, and --oops! gotta do it all over again before I’m halfway finished washing because it rinses out while I’m standing under the shower.
And don’t tell me not to stand under the shower. I like standing under the shower. So I use bar soap, which doesn’t decrease sudsiness with added water.
Poofs and scrub gloves are fabulous! I haven’t had to deal with ingrown hairs or razorburn since I started exfoliating daily.
Poofs and gloves are very common around here and I can usually find both at Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart or the Body shop.
After reading an article which pointed out that they can be a mold/bacteria trap and should be regularly replaced, I tried washing and drying them with the towels and they came out fresh and fine.
I’m not sure why any coarse, abrasive cleaning item would be considered effeminate – it sounds like just the sort of thing Baden-Powell would recommend. The shower would preferably be cold, of course …
My Mother bought me one of these things for Christmas a couple of years ago (it wasn’t the only thing she bought me – she’s not that cheap) but it was cylindrical, about 18 inches long, with a loop at each end. Intended, of course, to make it easier to scrub your back. She got them for everyone that year. Why? The answer was obvious the moment I unwrapped it: the shape, and above all, the firmness of it, was immediately reminiscent of a semi-erect penis. In fact, it was considerably more obscene than any fully stiff phallic object could have been.
That’s my Mam’s sense of humour for you.
Well lucky you then 
Noooooooo Dave, Dave, Dave shakes head in disbelief … the modern man must have soft skin and smell fantastic at all times. Though I like the smell of soap, I certainly don’t like what it does to skin (mine goes dry in nanoseconds)… ya gotta invest in a nice shower cream (don’t be cheap :p) … and, unless you’re spraying yourself with your Granny’s perfume, I don’t think you’re gonna smell all that “poofy” either…
My advice? Get a poofy thing NOW … get two, hell get three, they’re pretty lol… get some shower cream and moisturiser, get some good cologne (I like Cool Water mmmmmmmm sexy)… and, above all ya big BEAR, get outta yer cave :p:D:p
Ivory is a girly soap.
Exactly. I’ve gotten many compliments (that have often lead to other things 
) because of my “silky” smooth skin. Once they get a touch, it’s all over… Yes, I have even shopped the “men’s” section of Bath and Body Works :o. Granted, there are women who like the rough, hairy male specimen. However, I am underendowed as it is in the body hair department (blond hair to begin with, then add to this shaved legs during racing season), and, well, you get the picture - I need to work with what I have.
As for smelling “girly,” well, there are plenty of the liquid soaps that have more “manly” scents, if you are worried about that. Personally, I’d rather smell good than smell like a bar of soap :p. No offense to those that enjoy that smell, of course.
Naaaaah! The GF uses that crap, and her skin is drier than mine. Ivory does just fine, for me. And, it doesn’t leave me smelling like some freaking fruit salad, or a potpourri jar.
I have plenty o’ hair to generate a good lather, so I don’t need some silly poofy thing. And, I have a bath brush; natural bristle set in a wooden handle.
And, I doubt that I’m unique, in this, but I’ve been told by several women, in my life, that I smell good. And, they’re talking about ME. Not the soap, not the shaving cream, and certainly not the cologne I haven’t worn in 20 years. Whatever my natural scent may be, it appears to be a good one.
Besides, I’m not “the modern man”. I’m yesterday’s model, remember? Old. Old fashioned. Old school. Old news.
You know what, Davebear, you’re right. I take it back. I will not try the poofy when I get back home. I going to stick with my non-scented Ivory and not even a wash cloth which has served me fine for well over 30 years.

Please tell me that I’m not the only one who opened this thread thinking that she’d be reading about men’s early morning shower erections…
