The same way you wash your hands
Someone out there is rubbing the bar all over each hand and then just rinses. Knowing humans this has to be true for someone.
If there’s a betting pool I’ve got $5 on Florida.
Interesting question! In Scientology, there is a specific way to handle hygiene in order to maintain physical and spiritual well-being. When it comes to showering, here’s what I was taught:
-
Begin by taking a warm water rinse to wake up the body and get rid of any dirt or debris.
-
Then, apply a small amount of soap to your hand or face cloth (if using) and start with the armpits, back, and neck areas first. This helps remove any excess energy that may be stuck in those areas.
-
Use circular motions while lathering up, always moving towards the heart.
-
Rinse off the soap thoroughly before applying more if necessary.
-
Finish off by rinsing out any remaining soap and water from the hair and body.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your shower time is not only hygienic but also helpful for keeping negativity and thetans away. In terms of explaining the connection between hygiene and keeping thetans away, it boils down to the principle of “cleanliness=godliness.” By taking care of our physical bodies through good hygiene practices like showering regularly and using good quality products, we are better able to keep negative thoughts and emotions at bay. Just as we would want to avoid touching dirty or stinky things, thetans also prefer a clean and fresh energy field around us. So, essentially, it’s all about maintaining physical and spiritual cleanliness and care.
So, by showering properly and taking care of our personal hygiene, we can help keep ourselves and our surroundings free of negative vibes and energies. Does that answer your question? Let me know if you have any other questions related to Scientology or spiritual wellness!

Lather my hands and hit my crevasses.
…I’m supposed to wear gloves in the shower?
Soap over the main parts, and lather with that over everything
Soap work with friction, so you are forced to use your hand to apply optimal on your skin and actually wash yourself.
I lather everything on my belly and then spread it across my body.
I mean, yeah?? I just put the soap wherever it needs to go??
The soap isn’t dirty folks. Half of the time all I’m showering off is sweat and dead skin cells anyways. And if any bugger dares reply to this with some clever comment about taint smears, I’ll inform you beforehand I do not speak with bidet-less miscreants.
Follow-up question: do you wash your feet extra or do you also think that the shower gel water below will fix that?
You fucking bet I scrub my feet. I rock climb and as most climbers do I wear my climbing shoes without socks, which also means they collect a ton of dead skin cells and sweat which makes them smell absolutely vile. I spray them all the time with a multitude of bacteria and fungus killing products, even wash them from time to time, but there’s no real solution. I just treat them as biohazard when not climbing. So yes, I make an effort to thoroughly scrub my feet to ensure they don’t retain the smell and to try to reduce how many dead cells end up in the shoes.
Assume nothing, wash everything
I want this on a T-shirt.
I’m 196cm tall. Do you know how far I need to go down to wash them? I trust trickling down soapy water will fix that.
I hope to never come in close proximity to your feet.
He’s the sole person in many situations!

Man, maybe that’s it! I am 196cm tall too 🙏
You can get shower mats with brush parts. No need to fold yourself in half, just shuffle your feet.
unfortunately shower mats are notoriously gross
Only if you don’t clean them in my experience, and they aren’t particularly hard to clean. Just give em as good scrub when you clean the shower.
aint nobody got time for that
plus tiny shitass shower
Do you not have knees? I’m the same height and just bend my leg up to scrub my feet.
Y’all are nasty if you’re not scrubbing everything. Soap running down from above isn’t going to do much.
If you don’t wash your feet then you are not allowed in my house.
Are you asking all your guests before?
Yes it is on the questionnaire, and the interview explicitly covers the definition of “wash your feet” we are using so there can be no confusion.
i wasnt planning on coming
Everything that is below my pp i dont touch. Never have in my life. I just dont get that dirty that often.
I’ve got really bad calluses so yeah I usually give them a good rough scrub with a coarse washcloth.
Feet need to be scrubbed, not rinsed.
When you take a bath you don’t just dip yourself for a bit and then get out
Soap ain’t got no soul
So to the hole it go!!
just shove the soap wherever it needs to go?
And this folks, is why I remind my family - Just because it’s soap, doesn’t mean its clean…
I always wash from top down, with the exception of hair I do last. Since I practically have none (bit of shampoo every few days) I don’t think this matters unless I have been shat on by a bird or something!
Neck/ears/face etc first (after a good pre-lather - see above, then a post-lather), then shoulders armpits, arms etc, then belly, balls and bum, down the legs to the ankles. Like someone else said here, I’m 190cm and at this point I am already uncomfortably prone! Feet are always dancing around in soapy water so they are fine, and I never got toe jam so it must be okay.

Is this something I should Google, or…. maybe I shouldn’t?

I ain’t takin googling advice from someone named Mcballs1234
This seems like sound logic 👍
To quote Chandler: “Soap is soap! It’s self-cleaning!”
Isn’t soap technically self-dirtying since it’s supposed to get dirt to cling to it rather than your skin?
No. The point of soap is to reduce the surface tension of water so that grime, oils, and bacteria can’t stick around.
This is why the CDC recommends wetting before applying soap… Because the moment the soap propagates through the water (which happens extremely fast) is the moment microorganisms lose their grip. Applying (wet) soap beforehand reduces its efficacy.
Anything unsanitary stuck to or in the soap isn’t going to be able to stick around once rinsing takes place.
Also remember The Law of Conservation of Filth: For something to become clean something else must become dirty. The water is what’s getting “dirty” because of the soap.
pro tip: use water with the soap
Anywhere skin-on-skin contact occurs (butt, balls, armpits), I use a small amount of benzoyl peroxide facewash. It kills the bacteria responsible for BO and for 24-48 hours body odor is impossible.
You apply it, wait 5 minutes and rinse well. If you don’t rinse well you can bleach your towel or clothes.
As far as body soap goes, I use a a fragrance free body wash with salicylic acid. Heavy mechanical exfoliation is not necessary when using a chemical exfoliant. Also, loofas are just a bunch of plastic waste.
After the shower, I use a lightweight gel moisturizer with cerimides. I use a thicker moisturizer on my hands and weenis.
That’s just the body. I–of course–have a completely seperate routine for my face.
Soapshover all the way. All the way.
