Liquid soap for washing hands, because bar soap always flies across the bathroom when I try to pick it up.
Those netty things are stupid. They do nothing.

Am I correct in assuming that people think bar-soap users are the same as people who wash dishes in the UK, ie they don't actually rinse?

wash your body with a bar of soap
― harbl, Monday, 11 January 2010 17:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Use a sponge or pouffey thing if you're not already, it'll make the shower gel last a lot longer.
Someone sent me a bunch of soap bars (I usually use liquid soap in refillable bottles) and I'd forgotten how that stuff gets everywhere. It kind of just sits in a layer of sludge when you're not using it and I get lumps of it under my fingernails. Liquid all the way (Body Shop coconut <3 <3)

Big gas face to the clammy bottoms of soap bars btw.

With shower get, you have to grab the bottle and open the bottle and pour out the right amount and and then try to close the bottle and put it back in its proper place with one hand and maybe your eyes closed since your other hand is filled with shower gel and maybe you have soap on your face and wash yourself and then maybe pour out some more if you run out of lather and then and you can't tell just by looking when you're running out of shower gel and when you're done, you've got an empty plastic bottle that you have to throw away or recycle.
With soap bars, you just grab the bar and lather and go. When the soap is gone, it's time for new soap. Bar soap is also a lot cheaper.
One of these eliminates soap goo (which is really just soap; it's not like soap melts into raw sewage or something):

since i was curious
Washing with contaminated bar soap is unlikely to transfer bacteria.
Heinze JE, Yackovich F.
Dial Corporation, Dial Technical Center, Scottsdale, AZ 85254.
Recent reports of the isolation of microorganisms from used soap bars have raised the concern that bacteria may be transferred from contaminated soap bars during handwashing. Since only one study addressing this question has been published, we developed an additional procedure to test this concern. In our new method prewashed and softened commercial deodorant soap bars (0.8% triclocarban) not active against Gram-negative bacteria were inoculated with Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to give mean total survival levels of 4.4 X 10(5) c.f.u. per bar which was 70-fold higher than those reported on used soap bars. Sixteen panelists were instructed to wash with the inoculated bars using their normal handwashing procedure. After washing, none of the 16 panelists had detectable levels of either test bacterium on their hands. Thus, the results obtained using our new method were in complete agreement with those obtained with the previously published method even though the two methods differ in a number of procedural aspects. These findings, along with other published reports, show that little hazard exists in routine handwashing with previously used soap bars and support the frequent use of soap and water for handwashing to prevent the spread of disease. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3402545

but from my understanding of the way soap works, it makes your skin so slippery that the bacteria just get washed away. so it makes sense that the bacteria on the soap bar will, too, be lost in time, like tears in the rain. time to die.

using soap with triclocarban seems like a good way to breed antibacterial resistant bacteria in your soap holder, though
Yeah I'm not a fan of triclosan in everything, though admittedly I'll use it in the liquid soap for hand washing, but that I only use when I've changed cat litter or have handled raw meat or something (+ scalding hot water which prob does more than the soap does anyway).

It's actually the friction on washing your hands that kills the most bacteria, not the soap or the hot water (which isn't hot enough to kill bacteria).
― kate78, Tuesday, 12 January 2010 05:14 (fourteen years ago) link
does it have to be hand to hand friction

this dial corp study is all there was but they also make liquid soap and this does not support a greater need for liquid soap!

I started using bar soap in the shower recently because I bought a really cute soap holder in the shape of an owl and I've found that given the choice, I now prefer bar soap. It seems more tactile. I used Burt's Bees ginger soap. Also prefer liquid soap for hands.
