I tried one.. but found afterward I would drink coffee with my pinkie extended...and developed a habit of putting my hands on my hips when talking to people....and thinking maybe bikini underwear for men wasn't such a bad idea..

stopped using it, and all that crap went away ;)

That's odd. Aren't loofas, sponges, and the like breeding grounds for bacteria and mold?

Yep, you sure can... :) Not only that, but when you have your GF stay the night, she can see that you've got a sensitive side which they like.

I did when I lived with my then-girlfriend. I've since gone back to soap cause it feels cleaner.
 

Of course I use one! Sure I might be the only one in my dorm's hall who uses a loofa but I'm the cleanest one by far!

I alternate between the two. Most of the time I run out of the liquid too quick. I also like to replace the poufs too quickly.

puff balls are a breeding place for fungus - the puff stays moist, the fungus loves it - if you want to be scrubbing yourself with a infected piece of wet goo - go ahead and use a puff ball.

loofa and sponge - don't know if they contain any natural ingredients that inhibit fungus growth - but i doubt it -

generally speaking - not a good idea to keep any item moist and warm - remember that old school experiment with the piece of bread - got all funky (moldy) - that's your puff/spong/loofa after a while.

I use a loofa-sponge-thingy on the bottoms of my feet to scrub off that thick callus build-up on the ball and heel of my feet. Feels good and works great, although it takes a few weeks to put a dent in a really thickened callus. I don't know if its a loofa or sponge or what, looks like someone hacked it right off the bottom of the ocean, sea sponge or something.

Come on, if you want to get scrubbed clean use Lava Soap. If you scrub hard enough you can take the grease, grime and skin right off.
