When and why did it stop being ok to wash your body with a bar of soap?

(true story. Our washcloths get washed very frequently, some people I flatshared w/, i left washcloth w/ when I moved out. s.th. like 8ys later, they were still using it, and it was all slimy and didn't look like it had been cleaned since then ew ew ew

Those netty things are stupid. They do nothing.

exfoliate? a estholigist (sp? you know skin person) friend of mine with extraordinarily smooth gorgeous skin recommened I always use these. gentle daily exfoliation.

lauren, how do you slough?

total tangent but there's a bar here (where my guy's playing tonight) called the Bar of S0ap, cause there's a laundromat in the back. get it? huh huh. except everyone calls it the Bar of c0ke since that's why everyone really goes there.

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?

i use an exfoliating scrub a few times a week.

With girls on top.

me too!

huh?!

It depends what you mean by "going at it."

Smart girl, that Kim. Because, you know, Valerie Solanis shot to ki-- oh wait a second, you say that Valerie's long since passed away? Hm.

I'm similar to certain people on this thread in that I use bar soap to shower and liquid soap to wash my hands. Anytime I try to shower using liquid soap, it adds at least five minutes to my total shower time, meaning more wasted time and water. Besides, I always seem to use more liquid soap than it seems should be necessary.

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).

I'm with Jenny who writes about love.

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).

does it have to be hand to hand friction

don't get ideas.

jenny, you make that sound way more complicated than it actually is

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!

Never bought gel in my life. Bar soap 4-eva.

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.

I went back to soap once I started thinking about how all that shower gel packaging is Bad For The Environment. See also why I gave up on shaving cream.

These days, though, I just use my body's own natural soap.

it seems like you just use way way more soap if it's liquid. thanks for polluting our watersheds and filling our landfills, liquid soap using jerks

I only go through 1-2 bottles a year.

been addicted to this stuff since like way back in the 90s

Bars of soap make me smell like Regis Philbin so...

I am not generally loyal to brands. Most brand name products are just commodities with a big marketing budget. But this is good stuff and I will use it until I die:
