I wanted to get something other than the annonimous reviews. I have been looking at either the Gracie cleansing foam or something from defense soap. I usually have at least an hour drive after training and I know a couple of my fellow 10p guys do something similar and was hoping to hear what you recommend.
You gotta check out SuperBody Care. It is amazing. Here is the link to their site:Quote:

Whats Defence soap? this is the first I've heard of anything like this! Bog standard shower gel is what I use.
Hi - This is Cheri from Super Body Care.
We have sold over 15000 bars of our famous Loofah Soap Bar to BJJ and MMA players. Super Body Care is sold at UFC Gyms to keep over 20,000 gym members skin healthy. And the folks at Bellator also use Super Body Care for their fighters on the reality show. It is sold at all On The Mat locations and online, BodyBuilding.com, as well as available on SuperBodyCare.com . We currently have a Buy One, Get One Special for Loofah Bars, I'd recommend to snatch that up. BodyBuilding.com has some killer offers too.
Michael H, you nailed it. The hour drive home and any other elapsed time during and after training allows staph to multiply every 20 minutes, and ringworm to sink its toes into your skin. Typically BJJ'ers buy the Loofah Soap Bar, and the Body Wipes to cover all hygiene needs. The Soap has scrubby bits (loofah) so it's great to scrub unhealthy skin , and the wipes for before and after training are effective, check out test results posted online and here: test results
The foam perplexes me. How can a foam barrier intelligently crawl across a wound once the surface has been broken? And are their test results on this foam? How long is this protective layer good for? Although it may cleanse the skin on contact (much like a Body Wipe would), I'm unconvinced a foam will sustain for the duration of training.
Lots of people unwittingly walk into their school carrying germs. Gas pumps and money are the two top dirtiest things (yep, laden with staph, e. coli, viruses hanging out). This is why it is so important to wash your hands before you even step in your school. Hands make the best vehicle to spread germs. Clearly as a grappler, you can see how fast hands move everywhere. For this reason, the Body Wipes should be used BEFORE and AFTER. And the soap in the shower for thorough cleansing. Feel great, smells great, and makes skin the healthiest ever!!! (and a touch of peppermint tingle to start your engines)
I hope that helps! Any question, please holler!

Stay healthy my friends!
I was skeptical about Defense soap, but I bought one bar on a whim, and I will say it is a 10 out or 10 product. You will not regret buying defense soap.
A bar lasts a long time and you will never feel cleaner from another brand of soap.
Thanks everybody. I am going to conduct an experiment for myself. I am just about to order a bar of soap and cleansing wipes from defense soap and super body care. Gonna alternate product each week of training and decide which I like better. The one I like best will be the setup I will be taking with me to Hoosier, buckeye challenge, and a couple more out of state tournaments. Let the grand soap experiment begin lol.
I gota say I miss the body wipes they had at Burbank, those were very nice especially after workout, Cheri makes a good product.
Once home I just use a loofah type thing and some dr bronners hemp eucalyptus liquid soap, never had an outbreak of anything so far.
You know i have always wondered about this myself my gym is a 45 mins drive away plus i carpool guys up so its always at least an hour and half til i get home to shower and knock on wood its been 3 years i been doing this and never once have had a fungul or ringworm issues (knock on wood) so i kinda always wondered if some people are just more prone to it than others or what.
sounds lie some of these answers (although good) are products you have to use in the shower like defense bar soap. My impression was that michael doesn't have shower access till he gets home?
I also use dr.bronners (peppermint) I had staff like 6 times and mrsa that got crazy twice and ate big holes in me. Haven't had anything since I started using dr. bronners. I haven't used defense but I can say that they seem like a great company. I sent them a bitchy email because shipping on a bar was more than the bar and they immediately replied with a reasonable shipping rate.
Bonners is great, but it dries me up fierce. The peppermint is plain intense, it'll be 120 degrees and I will still be shivering for five minutes after I get out of the shower. I get the feeling they're kind of a cult though. I've used super body care before but their soaps kept melting on me (damn heat).
Defense has wipes, gels, oils all sorts of stuff, its not just a bar of soap.Quote:

My skin is better since switchin to goats milk but I don't wanna cause a reaction with a new soap.
I use defense. It has no negative impact in my experience.Quote:

essential/plant oils are anti-everything. To some degree, they are all anti-viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic....some perform better than others. When they are better performing, it also means they are more aggressive, and the more one should have special training in formulating consumer products for safety. I'm a certified Aromatherapist so a deep understanding of each essential oil and safety is important to me. For example, when you put the Super Body Care formula in a petridish, it does not allow bacteria to multiply, and technically inhibits growth. That way on your skin, it gives your immune system a chance to do its job, and killer T cells will clean shop and eliminate through lymph, sweat, or feces. Good stuff right! Plants are amazing!
Any more detailed questions on the specifics of Peppermint, Rosemary, Tea Tree, Lavender and Bergamot, just Google "Peppermint essential oil" and you'll find consistent documentation of the essential oils' properties and benefits.
Now... I want to say sorry about that soap melting on you somewhere above there. It happens, it's natural, but we did upgrade our soap bar, same price, and it is even better than before....and has a higher threshold for meltdown from the heat.
And, the hooker spit made me laugh.
Stay healthy out there and hit me up at cheri@superbodycare.com if you want a sample. Again, we have a killer deal of Buy One Get ONe Free of our Famous Loofah Bar...sold 15,000 to BJJ/MMA/Wrestling.
Michael, got your order, thanks man!
Nice answer superbodycare. I plan to buy some of your stuff.Quote:

Rock on, thank you!
Hey mate .Is important to use natural creams and cosmetics. I'm concerned with it coz all the other organs in any way have to contact with chemicals. The safety of Face and Neck Creams is established by selection of ingredients that are safe and suitable for moisturize and soften the face and neck. I am using just natural products so recommend them to you . I got some creams By Modere click here they are specially formulated to respond to the unique needs of combination skin, The Key Collection captures dirt and excess oils with powerful, yet gentle ingredients to reveal a fresh complexion. Cheers body))
There are body wipes but I just recently got the Sub Soap from Gold BJJ and am really liking it. I have pretty sensitive skin so anything with more natural ingredients helps.
