If you ever call an guy’s erection ‘a poofy thing’ then expect serious backlash. Poofy is not a word to use in relation to a penis anymore than flabby is a word to use on a womans ass. Iron-like, industrial-strength, stamina-of-an-Oak; are the proper terms to describe Captain Purple helmet standing at attention.
kalhoun… body shop sells those scrubby gloves…
Ivory soap and my hands…it’s worked well all these years. exfoliate? i thought that’s what fingernails were for. and razors.
never could do the washcloth or poofy thing…my wife will scrub my back with hers every once in a while. and that’s okay.
once she slipped me a bar of grape-scented soap when my ivory ran out. scarred me for life.
Well, it’s nice to see I’m not the only Old School guy left. But, I do want to apologize to the OP and the guys who like poofy things, if my comments have caused anyone to hold back. I’ve been pretty much in Grizzly mode for a couple days, now. And, I’m a little bitter about the trend of women preferring men without body hair, lately. But, that’s my problem, and I shouldn’t take it out on you guys who are lucky enough to be considered “hot”, these days.
If you like them, feel free to say so, without fear of attack from me. My original post in this thread was supposed to be humorous, but it came out wrong due to my mood. I really do believe in “To each, his own”. It’s no exfoliated skin off my nose, if you like poofy things. 
"Hey Ironhead"
Yeah, they called their applicator a “shower thingy.”

Hmm, I pride myself on being trendy and hip (yeah, right), so I must be behind on the newest stuff. I find men with a noticable LACK of body hair disturbing. I understand that some men remove their body hair for sports (swimming, racing) or work (porn star), but it’s kind of a turn off for me when a man is silkier and smoother than I am. Hubby (Stonebow) has a nice amount of body hair. Yummy hairy chest, yummy hairy legs, yummy facial hair (goatee), and I love it!

Btw- I thought the grape soap was nice

Sorry, Phat.
This comes as no surprise, given Stonebow’s recent comments. 
And, I make no claims of being hip or trendy, but I DO notice advertising. And, the latest trend in advertising is hairless men (not bald, just no body hair). So, either they really are now considered the hottest, by a majority of women, as determined by the interminable polling they do, or the marketing forces are trying to make them the hottest. My money’s on the former. There’s no payoff in the latter.
I’m with Stonebow, on this one. Who wants to smell like a jelly sandwich?

Whatttttttt??? :eek: :eek: :eek: Excuse me but men without body hair are now preferred??? NOT by this women, no Siree Bob…
I like - love - adore - worship - hairy men. They are so sexy its untrue. I love to play with the hair … ehhh ok you don’t need to know the details.
Suffice it to say a man with no chest hair doesn’t do much for me visually - give me a hairy man anyday of the week (and yes, I’m talking hairy back and ass too if ya wanna know).
Gooooooooo Hairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!
seriously? a washcloth is like a little towel, commonly used to wash bodies in the shower or bath, or to wash faces in the sink, or you know, stuff like that. it’s square.
i feel kinda silly answering this, but it seems like such a common thing to know, that i felt like i had to letcha in on it, pablito!
Thanks for the “heads up”, wolfman.
You are my hero!
I’m glad there are still some positive male role models out there that I can look up to
Washcloths are called flannels over here in blighty.
Me, I like my poofy thing.

I was wondering, I have a “poofy thing” in the shower and I really like it. But, are there body parts that are too delicate for the exfoliation? I haven’t used the poofy thing on . . uh . . the delicate bits because I didn’t want to abrade anything. Anyone got an answer?
So, if MetalDog is a female, if she got together with MetalHead, she’d really be “his bitch”.
But, I don’t think they should be showering together. They might both rust, and there’d be no one to drag them out and oil them.
Nah. I use the poofy thing on all parts. No damage yet.
Davebear… Try the poofy thing. Just once. You’ll like it. I mean sure, it’s a little girly, but it’s not that girly!
Sorry, Phat, I have. The things I’ll do, for women. :rolleyes: I didn’t think it felt good.
I’ve tried the poufy thing, several times, and went right back to the washcloth – because I feel I get cleaner quicker and with less soap wastage (and I use Palmolive as a liquid body wash; it works great for me!).
I think nothing beats the washcloth around the face and ears.
…and I’m female.
FTR, I’ve never once used a washcloth in my life. When we’d stay at friend’s houses and the hostess would tell me where the washcloths were, I’d wonder why. My mom always just used bar soap and bare hands.
But I DO use the poofy thing–mine’s on a stick–and I love it. Mr. Levins uses one, too, but not every day. (He really loves the smell of Irish Spring, and since they don’t make a body wash, he’s always cheating on the poofy.)
**Small Warning:[b/] for those of you who use the Poofy Thing, do not hang it/store it under the shower head. It won’t ever completely dry, and it will breed bacteria which can lead to various skin problems. (Plus who wants to deal with it when it’s all dripping with this morning’s cold water?) This is a particular problem if you share your shower with other people.
I hang mine on a hook in the opposite corner of the shower, and it’s always bone-dry when I use it the next time.
Just FYI.
Soap wastage? I use way less soap when using the poofy thing than I do with bare hands or even a washcloth. The poofy thing extends your soap-dollar.
