Mouth washed out with soap

My mouth has been washed with soap many times

As punishment

I think it's far more abusive than spanking. I'd rather have had the belt on my bare bottom every day than the soap treatment even once.

I would too, no one has died from a belting, I'm living proof of that. Now about soap poisoning not willing to try...

Thank you, DrC. I've been trying to tell people that for years. Are you really a doctor?

you're welcome, @Andrew_Finklehouse, and no I'm not a real doctor, wish I was though. lol!

Remember, don't use "Lifebuoy"😃

Haha love that movie.

I think tonight I will try it on myself. What’s everyone think shall I post the results?

My mother washed my mouth out with soap several times, spanking wasn’t curbing my constant lying and cussing as a kid. I’ll never forget the first time she dragged me to the kitchen sink, I pleaded and begged her not to and that I’d be good but there was no amount of pleading that got me out of it, she put a drop of dawn dish soap on my tongue. Other times it was a bar of Irish Spring or whatever else was on hand.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Mouth-soaping is far more abusive than spanking.

Yes it was a given for cussing, lying and rudness of any kind. In addition to a spanking which ALWAYS accompanied a mouth soaping!

Grandparents from suburban Chicago have been charged with murder in the beating death of their 5-year-old granddaughter, who was whipped a dozen times with a belt for defecating on herself — with the granddad allegedly confessing to being “a little too rough” during the fatal assault.

You were saying?

Indeed I would never wish to see a practice such as this come back into common usage. It (mouth soaping) belongs to, or should belong to history!

My parents were both translators during WW2. Both worked portions of the Nuremberg Trials. Mom translated many interviews of the survivors of Nazi cruelty and atrocities as well as some of the Germans who had performed the alleged atrocities. She talked until her dying day about the arrogance of the Nazis in the interviews that she translated. My oldest sister was born in Nuremberg.

With the aforementioned background you can imagine what happened to me, the day that I called my oldest sister a Nazi after telling her that she wasn't even an American. First, my Mom spanked me then she washed my mouth out with soap not just any soap but Lava soap. I was spanked again when my Dad got home.

A British family was featured in a video where they put soap on a toothbrush and made their kids brush with it for various punishments ( not just swearing or backtalk). Unique way of “washing their mouth out with soap”. Never happened to me but I once chewed on some deodorant soap to hide my alcohol breath from my parents. It worked up until I fell down!

Wow, did your parents live to see the time when it became fashionable to call people 'Grammar Nazis' or complain to others about 'don't be a Nazi about me smoking'?

If so, that must have emotionally disturbing for them with others taking the past history so lightly and like something of a joke.

Luckily such terminology was never current in Belgium or otherwise my mother would have blown a gasket or broken down from war-time memories.

Hardly surprising that you parents reacted that way, Dee! Having to confront, so soon after they occurred, the atrocities and crimes of 'real Nazis' - or to give them their proper name, National Socialists - and the victims who suffered terribly under them. Incidentally, the Holocaust and Concentration Camps in general is an area I have read and continue to read much about. As well as books on the Holocaust in general - detailing the horrors of places like Auschwitz-Birkenau, Madjenik,Treblinka, Belzic and Sobibor along with the terrible atrocities and crimes perpetrated in the East generally - I have publications and memiors, many written by former prisoners and survivors themselves, detailing their experiences in places like Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, Mauthausen, Ravensbruck and Mittelbau-Dora. Gerald Reitlinger's, 'The SS, alibi of a Nation', 1956 is also an interesting and enlightening read! The Schutzstaffel (SS) were one of many organizations in National Socialist Germany who committed appalling and unspeakable atrocities and cruelties and profited enormously from them! 'The Buchenwald Report' a callaborative effort and Eugen Kogon's 'The Theory and Practice of Hell: the German Concentration Camps and the System and Practice Behind Them' are also excellent reads. Kogon himself lived through and survived Buchenwald.

It must have been both harrowing and enlightening in equal measure for your parents to have been present at these trials. One can well understand their reaction in this context!

Didn’t growing up but have as an adult. I’m not crazy about it.

Washing your mouth out with soap is tough.. 😱😳🤮

Looking back, I'm glad that mom never came up with such an idea.

I think that if I had been given the choice back then, soap enema or mouthwash, the enema would definitely have been given priority; despite my dislike of these enemas...

I said this before and I'll say it again. I think washing the mouth out with soap is far more abusive than spanking. I'd rather have had the belt on my bare bottom every day than the soap treatment even once.

I had this several times as a teenager, its really disgusting

I had it again quite recently, first time in 20 years and its still as vile as ever!! xxx

Wow something new I got to know. I get to know some few things here 🤠🤠

Yeah I've had it a few times over the years, as others have said, it's truly disgusting. Mum & Dad tend to use it for bad language use 😢 Luckily not happened for a 2 to 3 year now.

Sure did!

I had a foul mouth.

Tossing gin bottles at me and beating the crap out of me with her giant bible was not sufficient to deal with it.

A more traditional source of punishment was needed. Choking me over the edge of the tub and washing my mouth with soap while shouting DEEMON! would put an end to it.

It did not. I was thoroughly pissed off. This punishment was bad. It would have worked on any other kid.

I decided to deprive her of this possible advantage over me.

Being stubborn I decided the best action was to start eating soap. Not just a nibble but a bite.Whole bars.

I even sought out the yellow Sunlight laundry soap bar to eat. It was terrible.

This behavior drove my mother nuts She had no idea what mental aberration she had sparked.

Or how to stop it.

She broke down watching me eating a bar of bathroom soap like a chocolate bar. She cried in frustration. " What am I supposed to do with you?"

I told her to " Suck it" did the trusting thing and kept eating. I had her and was loving it.

I probably cleared off after that. I do remember the look of total frustration on her face. She was leaning on the wall crying.

It went on for months.

The counter was to hide all the soap at home.

The result was my expanding the behavior to school and friends' homes.

Besides, it was hard to explain your kid eating soap at school and friend's places. I knew it would put her on the spot.

We achieved a detente in the soap war.

She bought pretty soap for the bathroom. It was bright red translucent soap.

She took it out of its box to show me. It came with a nice presentation.

I looked at it. Nice soap and red. Red is my top colour to this day.

I did not want to bite a piece out of it so I dragged my teeth over it making a track.

I put it in the soap dish and looked at it sort of not liking that I marked it up.

I just washed with it after that. Other pretty soaps showed up. I marked every one of them once.

I kept swearing at things. Not as much. She never threatened me with soap again.

I would bite pieces off of plain soap and eat it in front of her or where I knew it would reach her ears. Just to weigh on her mind.

The school changed to liquid soap. I like to think I was the impetus.

When I went to my friends the bar soap was hidden.

My Dads Parents were not fooled and knew exactly what I was doing so their soap was safe unless my parents were around.

At some point, they switched to pretty soap. I was happy about that.

Soap tastes BLAAACH! Plain awful stuff.

When I was about five, I was visiting the neighbors across the hall. They were an elderly couple and treated my like a grandson. I loved them dearly, but one day, for some reason, I used the word "shit". She scolded me, brought out a bar of soap, told me to open my mouth, and inserted the soap. I had to stand there with the soap in my mouth for a few minutes.

I remember when I was in Kindergarten getting my mouth washed out with soap after one of the girls told the teacher that I swore at recess. Never will forget that old lady putting soap in my mouth and having to keep it in for a few minutes before going to the washroom to wash it all out.

Soap in the mouth is infinitely more abusive than spanking.

There are defiant kids…..then there’s @Bad_Princess !

I remember when I was in Kindergarten getting my mouth washed out with soap after one of the girls told the teacher that I swore at recess.

Nothing worse at school than tattle-tale sneaky girls. Teachers always believed them, no matter what.

I guess teachers were never much for hearing evidence from all concerned.

I'm certain that in certain cultures, say like in Sparta, informing on a fellow companion was considered worse than the reported misdeed itself.

Many times. It really sucks but it is what it is
