I take baths, because, mainly, the shower fixture to our bath tub desn't work well. Besides, with all the driving, my shoulders get knotted up, and nothing seems to release the tension like a good soak.

Lynn: Yep, that's why I don't use soap on the nether reagions (I figure the warm/hot water and what soap gets there from the rest of the bath is enough). Soap can also make yeast infections more of a problem becuase it can irritate the membranes and leave small sores that spread the yeast.

On baths and filth, I soak first and then soap up and rinse off at the end. Works great espcially if I have shaved or used a body or face scrub.

Oh yeah, I use a brush. A good stiff one, even a nail brush if I can find it. Can't say I have oversensitive skin HUgggssss!
