Like I said, it makes me less stinky, especially if I use the all day odor protection formula.

Also, I used to have a problem with skin tags under my arms. My dermatologist recommended an anti-bacterial soap to get rid of them and also to keep other bad skin things away.

I used Neutrogena body wash for a little while for the same reason. It helped clear up icky things on my skin.

Pffft. I use sandpaper to remove dead skin, like all real men on ATOT.

This is the problem right here. People who don't understand biology bringing out the big guns when it isn't warranted. Someday, OrooOroo will find that the sandpaper just isn't doing the job so he grabs the cheese grater but that doesn't work either, nor does the sand blaster. Why, because ignorant, irresponsible fools have used these tools inappropriately and have cultivated a strain of multiple abrasion resistant super bugs (MARS bugs). Thanks a lot guys.

Antibacterial != antibiotic

Regular soap can leave the not-so-fresh smell at the end of a long day.

For the morons out there, The paper was basically saying that bugs that develop a resistance to triclosan (anti-bacterial agent) are also typically the same ones that are resistant (or can easily develop resistance) to ciprofloxacin (quinolone antibiotic).

Which is a laughably far cry from a co-resistance to two completely different treatments developing from the same mutation. It means that the ones that mutated in the past to develop a resistance have a tendency to mutate/develop resistances or do so faster... perfectly logical. Should we go ahead and let these ciprofloxacin resistant bacteria sit on our hands and kitchen utensils and continue infecting us in the name of not letting them develop a resistance to a product that *isn't* used in our body or should we continue letting them infect people only to be treated by last-line-of-defense antibiotics and let them develop a resistance to that first? Get a grip on REALITY.

OMG... The poll results are surprising... I don't actually know anyone that still uses bar soap except my step dad (old Florida redneck that "don't need none of that foofoo shit" ).

Loofa+Body Wash is so much better... rubbing off all those dead skin cells leaves my skin so soft and smooth. Bar soap always dries it out.

St. Ives Swiss Vanilla ftmfw! I've found that women love the scent of this one and it leaves the skin moisturized *

Gay "Men's" bodywashes that DON'T really attract any women ftl


* For some real fun... Use the St. Ive's Swiss Vanilla Body wash, then rub cocoa butter all over one half of your body. Get some banana flavored lube and call yourself a banana split!

no, not really.

Dangers of Antibacterial Soaps

* Triclosan, the main ingredient used in antibacterial soaps, has been found to kill not only bacteria, but also human cells.
* Antibacterial soaps kill any and every type of bacteria and are not limited to disease-causing bacteria only. Since they kill every susceptible bacterium and remove competition from the ecosystem, they might lead to multiplication of resistant bacteria. The end result will be drug-resistant ?superbugs?.
* Antibacterial soaps offer no protection against the most common germs, since they are caused by virus and not bacteria.
* Use of antibacterial soaps might do more harm than good to your baby?s immune system. This is because it has been found that for developing a baby?s immunity, it is very necessary to expose him to germs during the initial years. The children who are not exposed to common bacteria usually end up being more prone to allergies and asthma.
* Over-use of antibacterial agents has been found to be associated with environmental problems also.
* Studies have revealed that triclosan reacts with chlorinated water to produce inappropriately high levels of chloroform, which is a probable human carcinogen.
* Researches have pointed out that too much triclosan can lead to considerable disorder in the endocrine system.


There is too much "anti bacterial" stuff out there. I avoid it, except in a health care setting.
Plain soap does just as well as anti bacterial stuff.

If you're so concerned about bacteria, use something that kill shit dead and doesn't gain resistance. alcohol, bleach, hey, plain soap is pretty effective too.

Do you eat off forks at restaurants that don't use anti-bacterial soap? touch anything on earth?
I fail to see how washing your hands and forks with antibacterial stuff is effective, unless you live in a bubble.

I think we should save it for stuff where it matters.. like surgeons washing up, you know, where the bacteria in the immediate vicinity is an actual issue.
And then even if you do somehow live in a bubble, your whole family is going to die of a cold when someone leaves the house and returns, with your weakened immune systems.

WTF are you going to douse your person in once everything is resistant to triclosan? I bet you'll really never leave the house then.



As for the OP, I'm surprised how many metros there are on AT.

I use Axe Snake Peel.

I first bought it because it's yellow, and the price tag was covering part of the word "Peel", so it read "Snake Pee".

I found that so utterly hilarious I've bought it ever since.
