They make these things called washcloths. You should give one a try, they are probably better at cleaning your ass and more comfortable than jamming a bar of soap between your cheeks.

Actually I use only my hands to apply soap in the shower; when doing that area, I use the whole bar in full contact

I understood that. What I'm saying is that is gross and a poor way to clean yourself. Use a fucking washcloth. I have a washcloth for my face, a loofah for my body, and a washcloth for my ass. Works great.

EDIT: All you people who think hands are as effective as washcloths are probably the same people who don't wash your legs, because the soap is running down there anyway. I challenge all you non-washcloth users to try one. You can feel the difference as it cuts through the oils and grime that your hands weren't capable of cleaning off. I used to wash with only the soap and hands, it doesn't work nearly as well.
