bathing with sponge is good and also bad... some organism feed on d bacteria on our skin.... so if such organisms come and fine no bacteria which was washed by the sponge.. it will feed on our skin directly...... so what is there is that .. we are adviced to bath with sponge in the morning and without sponge through the rest of the day
using sponche is better

Seriously the thing is so irritating. When I started noticing it, I thought maybe I have skin infection or any of such issues until my mum advised me to visit the hospital but due to the urgency to ascertain what is wrong I quickly went to a nearby pharmacy and met with the doctor there. I explained things to her and she said that from what I said that it's no infection but that I have a very sensitive skin. She told me to stop using any medicated or antiseptic soap. That I should use toilet soap that has less perfume content and mild perfume and body spray too. She said that some body spray and perfume have some strong chemicals in them. She gave me a list of soap like fade soap, any baby soap and rapid white or any other soap that is mild and that has less perfume content. And my cream should be mild too. And then using of hot water for bathe and soft cloth in place of sponge. To also confirm what she said I have to make series of research from Google and it gave me the same thing the doctor said and then I stick to it till today. And seriously for like sometime now I have not experienced itching except on a day or two that I will like to exfoliate my skin using sponge. But I do the exfoliation on Saturdays when I no that am staying @home to avoid anything spoiling my day. It's all bout knowing your skin. For some of you that is saying they can perceive the odour don't worry yourselves.. Its my body anyway and am not complaining. If I have a body odour my mum will be the first to tell me. She is my mirror at home and before going out.



If you have not experienced body itching after bathe... You will definitely not understand what am saying. During those days sometimes I feel like cutting off some part of my body that is itching sad, sometimes I cry in silence... chai... itching after bathe I swear for u.



Ur sooo on point...dos who havnt experienced it would neva understand....first time it happend to me, truly I didn't bath for one week(dats how bad it was) but tank God for d solutions to dis weird yeye problem.
Going online n seeing dat I was not alone in the strugle was quite reliefing too...

Some people with silly stories..

Who told you people not using sponge to bath have eczema?

let me shock you, when I stopped using sponge, I became fresher, my friends and strangers I come across started calling me fresh guy.

Let me shock you, someone I know uses a sponge as big as 2 of my former sponge, yet has heavy duty eczema all over his back.

It's not about sponge or no sponge, it's about the nature of your skin. I have a very mild skin and fiancee even tease me with words like "kogbokogbo", Agric and all that.

stop the bandwagon, find.out what works for you and stick to it.

It depends on individual skin type. As for me I have terrible itching after sponging. That experience is common when skin is dry.

As regards thorough cleanliness, a good exfoliation procedure done weekly more than makes up for the lack of daily sponging.

How does the towel get dirty..

repetitive exposure to moisture and drying tends to make the towel start to smell.

Plus Towels also wipe off dead skin cells, lose hair folicles, e.t.c..


Also... When you spread out the towel to dry, moisture traps dust particles in the air on your towel..


grin

thanks....but this ur monicker cheesy
Re: Bathing With Sponges & Without Sponges. by pchax: 7:40pm On Nov 24, 2014
sometimes i wonder if peeps here are joking with some comments. how can you possibly compare the human skin to plates or teeth. we also seem to ignore the abrasive nature of soaps. Soaps in itself are pretty abrasive when washed with a solvent such as water.
personally, I don't use sponge because it is too strong for my skin. It's been over a decade now and I can't see what would make me use sponge.

Why una dey drink panadol for my own headache. If u like use sponge ten times in a day while bathing, if you have a body odour it will never cure it. So please leave me and my body and learn how to mind your own business. I have seen someone that bathes three times a day, she uses the best perfume. Yet her body odour tells me that she is around the corner. Bridgetown, I will make sure I invite you to my 100years in a successful marriage. Just be alive. You must be a witness to it.

I like using sponges because it gives me a sense of deep cleansing.

However, since most of the sponges that are readily available are not comfortable, I opted out for a while until found "The Body Bath Pad" at Shoprite. It is much more comfortable due to its peculiar 'Strap' and 'Ball'.

Now, bathing is not complete without using my bath pad cheesy
