do you--

1. take your own soap/body wash?

it all depends on who i'm visiting. if it's a close friend, i don't take much or any of that stuff, cuz if they came to visit me i wouldn't expect them to schlep all that stuff unless it was just toiletries they liked using that they know i wouldn't have. if i'm visiting someone i don't know quite as well, then i will take more of that stuff, because it's just less presumptuous that way. meanwhile, people who know me really well are already familiar with my presumptuous ass.

I take all that stuff

when u visit friends overnight (or longer)...

do you--

1. take your own soap/body wash? yes

2. take your own washcloth/towel? no

3. take your own toothpaste? yes

Like Anxy, it depends on who I'm visiting. If it's a close friend, then usually toothpaste but I always forget my shower gel.

I never bring my own towel, though, unless someone specifies for me to.

1. take your own soap/body wash? Bring my own

2. take your own towel? using one of yours

3. take your own toothpaste? using yours

also depends on who im staying with... Always bring my own toothpaste tho... what if they are gross and dont brush their teeth! I usually bring my own shampoo cuz i hate cheapo shampoo and im going organic as much as i can...

i always bring my own toothpaste because nobody i know ever uses my brand.

I also steal all the soaps and toiletries from hotels and make little baskets for my guests that way i dont have to worry about what they have used my bar of soap on!

Unless I'm visiting my parents, then I use their stuff. Except shampoo/conditioner. I don't like the kind my mom buys, so I always bring my own.

I take all my own..

I take everything but a towel/facecloth.

me too.

I take all of the above with me - lol!

1. take your own soap/body wash? - yes

2. take your own washcloth/towel? - yes

3. take your own toothpaste? - depends on the friend...

It depends on the friend and what their living situation is like. In Europe I usually just take a washcloth and toothpaste, and whatever special must have that I cannot live without by of lotions &scents. In Germany I find that they are toiletry obsessed so far as shower and bath aids go. If it's one of my more settled friends living in a large house,rest assured there will be a gazillion bathrooms (one for guests) with at least 4 different types of spa sized of bath gel, bathing salz, shampoo,face mask, ect. ect. Sometimes you go to people's houses here and the bathroom looks like a drugstore, but it's all set out to share. I live on a much smaller scale, but I've grown accustomed to offering people guest toiletries when they visit me. I tell them to bring their deo, and whatever special things they can't do without. But I set out mini soap, herbal toothpaste, fruity shampoo, and some designer or spa-ish shower gel for their stay. Then I pull out a big bottle of body lotion to use randomly, show them where the asprin is for headaches, and just let them have at it

1. take your own soap/body wash? Yes

2. take your own washcloth/towel? Yes, my Dad taught me that young who wants to wash their face with a rag another family has drug through their ass

3. take your own toothpaste? Yes


or do you just use whatever they have there in their house? Nope

Your friends don't have clean facecloths and towels for you when you stay?

Weird, I always provide clean linens, towels, etc to my guests.

JustErin said:

I am sure they may

Never had to know cuz I take my own

"clean " is a relative term - I offer my friends when they come - brand new towels and wash cloths

I still don't wanna wash my face with a "clean" rag - even if bleached that someone has washed their cooch or ass with

I have been taking my own since I started flying alone cross country at the age of 11ish

Mach said:

I find that really, really odd.

Mach said:

How do you feel about using friends' utensils? Aren't you afraid that their gingivitis-infected gums are sucking on the same forks they offer you to eat with?

JustErin said:

Good for you

sextonseven said:

Nope

now if I were to find out they were scrubbing their asses with them - that might be a different story

Mach said:

How do you feel about using their sheets? Do any of your friends sleep naked?

Strange logic to me....but ok.
