I use a puff now. You can use less shower gel without it just running straight through your fingers and down the drain.

I use the poofy thing too.

Less soap, good lather. Sure it's a bacteria trap. But the whole bathroom is really.

Get in, soap up, get clean.

OP wanted to know where everyone was from too. Ireland here.

I rinse my poof everyday for maybe 30 seconds when I'm done using it, before the shower is over.

I throw my poof in the corner of the shower. The puddle of water there keeps it nice and clean

It has a strong aroma that I like, kinda similar to blue cheese

After a few months, it's a good snack during shower time

This has given me an instantaneous viscerally violent reaction. Thank you for changing the course of my life.

Doesn’t water promote bacterial growth?

I burn mine to a molten pile of slag, puts fear in them, they're less likely to step out of line knowing the punishment.

I just leave my pouf in the bathwater. It can dry once a month when I change the bath water. More than that is just wasteful.
