Does your body wash and shampoo have to be travel-size in basic training or can you bring normal size bottles?

Also can you bring those little scrunchi poofy loofa things with you that you scrub your body with?.. or do they issue you the stuff that you are going to use?Does your body wash and shampoo have to be travel-size in basic training or can you bring normal size bottles?
No poofy loofa things in basic, also I'm pretty sure your 'body wash' is allowed to be a bar of soap.





As for shampoo, yes it must be travel-sized.





They will provide stuff for you if you need it but its coming out of your pay check. The big difference? Stuff on base is discounted as well as tax-free to military members. If in doubt ask your reqruting officerDoes your body wash and shampoo have to be travel-size in basic training or can you bring normal size bottles?
My son took the travel size because of packing space but once he got to basic they went to the PX and he got the larger size and about the loofa it was not on his packing list but I don`t think you will even have the time to use one, you will jump in the shower and get out of it quick. My son used to take long showers but when he came home for Christmas he was in and out of the shower so quick and he said that was because they had to be fast in basic and that he got used to it.
In Army BCT you won't be allowed to use a loofa...you'll be getting a wash cloth to use. We weren't allowed body wash either, just unscented bars of soap. Also no super good smelling shampoo. I recommend you DON'T buy it before you get there, wait till you go to the PX when you start Basic (meaning, don't buy it at reception either) because that just aids weight to the bag you'll be carrying over your head on day one. Just leech off of people till you can buy some.

i'm pretty sure you can buy then there at the PX. and no you can't bring those, you won't be able to use it. remember that this is basic training and there are about 50 or 60 other people in line for a shower so your showers will be quick; at most 3 minutes, it's just a quick rinse and wash.
you have to bring travel size with you anyway, because of the airline regulations. if you are allowed regular size bottles, you will be given the chance to purchase it once you get there. and about the loofa...no, sorry.
Army BCT right? Well I think the bottles are fine I used mine the whole time...but the loofa, they didn't let us use those, but it all depends.
