I always forget about my naval. When I was younger I would never wash behind my ears.
This thread has made me realize how thorough I am about washing. I use a washcloth and the first things I scrub are the backs of my ears and neck, then arms, pits, torso, back, legs, tops of feet, then for last I do butt, crotch, bottoms of feet and between my toes. Then I ditch the washcloth and with just my hands I wash my bellybutton and privates.
So I guess if I missed anything it would be between my fingers and the backs of my hands.
Yeah, armpits… forget them from time to time.
No worries, you’re perfectly normal 👍.
Signed: The guy with ADHD… probably… not diagnosed… have no idea 🤷… maybe it’s the drugs…
Having been there; see if you can get a diagnosis. The medication is way cheaper and allowed me to stop self medicating completely, which has all sorts of other benefits.
No one diagnoses that here, I live in a fucked up country. Have to go abroad for that, but currently, no money for that, have a small kid 🤷.
One option would be to buy Vyvanse on the darknet and stick to a small dose of 30mg/day for at least 8 weeks before you change anything. You don’t need a doctor to tell you that and it will improve your life immensely with very few minor side effects. Also likely cheaper than whatever you’re currently self-medicating with and the other hidden costs of living with undiagnosed ADHD.
But it’s probably illegal, so you know, don’t do it.
I got a whole bottle of Vyvanse once and holy shit it was a great couple months, never felt so productive in my life.
Hm… is that thing expensive on black market? Cuz I can’t spend too much currently 😔.
I take Escetalopramme currently, 20mg, that’s for my depression and bursts of rage… I didn’t used to have a short fuse, but raising a kid, especially a stubborn one, is not easy, so I started having them when he didn’t listen. Things are good now, haven’t had them in a while and I feel much better, more relaxed and just have more nerves for stupid things that surround me every day… I don’t take them as seriously, just go “meeeh, whatever”. So it’s not bad, but focus is a problem sometimes. Though I do have better focus now, my guess is, thanks to the drug, I would like to improve on that.
If you’re already on medication, especially for psychological issues, disregard my entire comment.
You definitely do need a doctor to advise you on (possibly very dangerous) interactions between meds.Yeah, that is true…
I’ll see if I can do it online somehow, pay someone to diagnose me, I really can’t afford to go abroad now 😔.
Not a doctor obviously, but I’ve been taking escitalopram and vyvanse together as prescribed by my doc. Which should be where it is coming from, honestly, considering it’s basically diet speed lol
You might be able to find something tele-medicine related. I’m bout familiar with your specifics, but thought I’d mention it.
Good luck friend. The struggle is real.
Yeah, that might be an option… thanks for the advice 👍.
On weekends I don’t use deodorant so in the shower my armpits get a refresh.
I only use deodorant when going out or to events, which is pretty close to never nowadays 🤣.
Just the occasional MTG tournament, eh?
i do it cuz of the gathering part 🤣🤣🤣
I’d love to be able to do this but I’d have armpit stains down to my bellybutton after 5 minutes. Hyperhidrosis is… fun?
Yeah, that is a problem, agreed. No choice in that case 🤷.
Back of my neck! I always have a shower cap on on non shampoo days and I usually miss my neck.
Non shampoo days?
Supposedly shampooing every day strips your hair of natural oils so many people will not wash their hair at all on some days or just wash with conditioner aka “cowash.”
I shower every two or three days.
Also works - similar reasons. Soap every day can hurt skin more than letting it do it’s on thing. But I absolutely adore showers - I just prefer to try and let my hair oils do their thing until appearing professional forces me to shampoo.
My legs, the shower is small and I am tall so it’s a lot of work to actually soap them up properly. Usually I only bother maybe every second or third shower.
You need some sort of stool to step into with the leg you’re trying to wash, makes a huge difference
I use a very small plastic stool I stole from my daughter when her toddler outgrew it. Absolute game changer for washing legs. My wife loves it too for shaving her legs.
You mean put a foot on it I guess. At first I imagined you crouching down on it
A thanatologist once told me that lots of people don’t wash behind their ears properly.
But I don’t want to get my hair wet.
The inside.
I cna help you with that. Or at least 15cm inside.
I regularly swallow soap to clean my insides. I don’t understand why people keep ignoring it?
Sometimes I tell myself I’m gonna get in, soap up, rinse, get out, two minutes tops.
Then I’m just standing there in the hot water ten minutes later. Knowing l’ll be late for work if I don’t move. And just standing there, trying to somehow soak up enough heat to internalize the comfort and make it mine.
But it’s not mine.
Maybe you could switch to evening showers?
Pros: luxuriate in there as long as you want, feel comforted, more sleeping in.
Cons: idk, I love an evening shower. Drying your hair before bed I guess?
I just slap on a hair wrap and let the hair dry by itself.
Also Pro: The bed stays clean longer
What if I like the smell of my own man-musky bed?
I sweat buckets in my sleep so an evening shower is basically useless for not stinking during the day.
My building has unlimited hot water…
Eye ball
That’s nothing to be ashamed of. Lots of people cry in the shower.
Which one?
Third
My belly button
Has to be my back. It’s hard to reach even with a back brush because of degenerative issues in my shoulder joints. I tried one of those scrubbers with the two ropes, but it’s hard to control. Need a bigger shower so my wife can wash it for me…and get my back while she’s at it!
A scrubber that adheres to the shower wall would be neat. Clean your back like a bear scratching an itch on a tree.
I’d prefer more of a car wash system https://youtu.be/DwVKC3FnVXY
I wonder if my insurance would pay for at least part of one of these? But I don’t think it would fit in my tiny shower.

I typed out basically the same comment without having seen yours 👁️👄👁️
Hell yeah, collaborative invention 🤝
They make a scrubby cloth that’s like 4 feet long.
Yeah that’s called a towel.
Yes and no. Salux/Goshi washcloth or towel. Interchangable really. But they are longer washcloths that have a scrubby or exfoliant surface. They are perfect to use to wash your back
No no it’s like for washing and it’s super scrubby, like a loofah almost but more scrubby.
Dunno if this is good or bad for you. But I recently switched shower gel and decided to properly scrub my back. BOOM! 2 days later my back is filled with acne. I bust about a dozen spots that are now large craters in my back.
I never had that problem when I just let it handle itself while using bar-soap.
mount the backbrush to one of the walls then scrub your back against it like a bear 😁😂
Bottom of my feet. I’m really klutzy and the slippery floor is already a bit of a hazard for me without adding soap to the mix.
You stand on water. Should be enough.
except water doesn’t move all those nasty water insoluble bacterias and grossness that soap makes more hydrophilic
The fuck you doing with your feet that you need them to be sterile
not having fungus
Do you already have underlying fungus issues? My guess would be that most people, myself included, don’t get overly crazy with washing their feet – some water and soap - yet don’t develop feet fungus either…
but u just said u wash ur feet this guy said he doesnt wash his feet at all
These are the stinky feet havers, point and laugh!
This is some of the whitest shit lol
Jesus?
I assume they are washed by gravity.
I shove my foot into bottom edge of the bath and lean my hip against the wall bending my body. Lift one foot and scratch the fuck out of it with my fingernails. Switch and repeat.
This doesn’t work if your shower isn’t in a bath.
My legs and my feet, to be fair i mostly focus on my armpits and private parts
Legs in particular get a lot less attention from me in the winter as mine tend to dry out and become itchy even with moisturization.
You forget your naval and I forget my soldiers
No soldier left behind.
Here’s a lil Head & Soldiers™ for ya!
Thanks for the laugh
Anything for you 😘
I never fail to take care of my little soldier in the shower
