My kids sort of can, but the main problems they have with this simple job are concerning work ethic. One token wipe at a leg should do it, right? Then on the the other leg. Those puffs are quite a help, along with gel. Be sure to put some of the gel in your own eyes to see how strong it is, before you decide it's OK for the kids, because the prospect of not wanting a shower, because the soap hurts, is a battle that is even more difficult to win.
