so itchy

[Bob]

i get really dry skin in the winter, and my entire body is just itchy as hell right now. particularly my legs and stomach, i just wanna scratch the shit out of myself, but that only makes things worse

anyone else get itchy in the winter? what do you do about it? i don't wanna smear lotions all over my stomach and legs or anything, i gotta put clothes on over that shit

[Waus]

I totally thought for a second that this would be the "I lost my virginity...but...so itchy" thread.

No dice. :(

[Documad]

There are only two possible solutions: (1) lotion or (2) move to the tropics.

I use udder cream.

aveno

Sounds like the early stages of the "hi 5"

Bob --

Add some olive oil to bath water and soak in it. Olive oil is great for the skin.

Start with maybe 1/8 cup. Just water and oil -- no soap.

Either that or just rub it into your skin, but using it in the bath is probably easier.

Udder cream is amazing....but Goldbond also has a winter cream or whatevs. Lotion up right out of the shower Bobbo while your body is still a little bit moist (hate that word) you'll retain the moisture better.

I'm a virgin too. Just fyi.

[abcdefz]

I think it's been long enough now that I'm a virgin, too.

[Bob]

I'm a virgin too. Just fyi.

yeah but aren't you christian or something? you have an excuse

anyway i guess i'll look for a good lotion. the olive oil thing sounds interesting but i dunno, baths are kinda gross. my tub is pretty clean, but still, i don't wanna

[Yetra Flam]

seriously, bob has so many internet chicks just offering him pussy.

[Bob]

i'm still sort of on this okcupid thing (i'm not actively pursuing anybody, but i get messages now and then so i keep the account around because you never know) and i'm pretty sure i just got propositioned the other day. i didn't respond though, something didn't quite feel right about it

[Dorothy Wood]

I will just reiterate what's been said.

stop using soap. seriously. it will help. also, aveeno is good stuffs.

olive oil also works. I was without lotion the other day and my legs were super dry, so I rubbed some olive oil on them and it totally worked.


p.s. sorry about all those okcupid messages :(

[Bob]

stop using soap. seriously. it will help.

wait, what am i supposed to use

[Dorothy Wood]

unscented moisturizing body wash

[Bob]

oh ok that sounds like a good idea

as long as you're giving me advice, why don't you tell me what i could use to wash my vagina? because that's what's going to happen if i start using unscented moisturizing bodywash, i'm going to grow a vagina

soap is the devil. get over your homophobia, homo.

[Bob]

i'm not afraid of homos i'm afraid of vaginas

world of difference

[Dorothy Wood]

well go ahead and strip your skin of it's precious natural oils. jerk!

take a bath in butter! wash your hair with yogurt! brush your teeth with rice pudding! it works! I swear!

[Randetica]

yeah soap is silly and makes your vagina hurt


drink enough (water)
mix shower gel with some olive oil (always!)
use a massage glove instead of a sponge or you hand (not as hot as it sounds like)
and use some oily lotion after youre done, i sometimes mix it into the olive oil/shower gel shizzle cause im a lazy fuck

[abcdefz]

I love it when someone asks for advice and refuses it, no matter how well founded the answers are.

[mikizee]

Another advantage to using shower gel instead of soap is that there is no soap scum build up in the shower, and you don't have to clean it as often.

Which helps for lazy fucks like me.

[beastieangel01]

sometimes you have to use some seemingly "girly" products for dry skin but believe me, your skin will feel so much better.

My skin is drying out like crazy too. Well, my legs anyway. It's obnoxious but the mix of the body wash and lotion does the trick. Body oil is good too but it's basically no different from olive oil, as everyone else is suggesting.

Just go get this stuff already, Bob! :)
