Cake… cheesecake.
I prefer vegan cake.
Bar (what you refer to as cake for some reason). I used to use shower gel because it was easy but switched to bar soap from places like Lush when I became an adult lol. We all know it's better for your skin, but until you start using it yourself you don't really understand that you can feel the difference too. Not to mention the smells are much better and more natural than gel.
We all know it's better for your skin
Not sure how it's necessarily better… Some liquid soaps will be better than some bar soaps and vice versa.
Yes, I have sensitive skin, so we use soap free liquids like QV, etc. Agree re the packaging. Refill bottles use almost as much plastic as those with pumps.
Bars foam up and clean better. They also cost less.
i use bars because i can see through the bu*&#hit
The cakes you have been using are meant for the urinal.
Those are for golden showers.
Those cost more.
Dettol Bar Soap Citrus Splash for body makes you feel really clean in the morning. Foaming dispensers for hand wash.
I use cake, but wished i used liquid to stop soap scum.
Solvol, head to toe. Bit of friction really helps move that dead skin.
For 9 out of 10 hand washes: liquid.
For that 10th time you actually have something on your hands that is visibly disgusting and/or extremely pungent that some soap fragrance won't cover up: Solvol.
Liquid at the kitchen sink. Cake in the shower.
Pee in the kitchen sink and poop in the shower?
Ummmmmmmm ?????
In the Navy they only supplied liquid soap as then you didn't need to worry about dropping a cake of soap in the shower
That's why I discharged myself
Username checks out
Because you didn't have to before?
No one has mentioned yet how much easier it is to keep the shower "scum" free with liquid soap. I changed to liquid for this reason alone!
Yes this is right, that's why my parents switched 15 years ago and it is why I use liquid soap today.
Really? I did not know this.
Liquid, less soap scum. Saves on cleaning.
Soap on a rope
I just got some for travel use. I would usually use bar soap and liquid soap (alternate, use 1 or the other). Mostly bar soap use though.
I figured it is easier and more hygienic to use soap on rope while traveling. It's OK to leave a bar of soap in soap holder of my personal home shower, but probably quite risky to leave it in soap holder of a public shower block while showering. Never knows who's soap was in there previously.Soap on rope seems good as it can be easily dried out instead of leaving it slimey. Just hang it off mirror of my campervan for 30 minutes of sun.
Was also going to double as an impromptu self defense device, but as soon as I swung it like a nunchuck the soap flew off rope and hit wall, on first swing. Lol.Recreating the Claudia Schiffer ad, more like.
Liquid. My skin feels too dry when I use bar soap.
For traveling I've started using Dr Bronners liquid oil soaps, a small amount goes a long way (but it's not cheap!)
Liquid is more hygienic, (the layer of moisture-softened soap on top of it between uses is a haven for bacteria), liquid soap also won't slip out of your hands like a bar, and get covered in hair and other detritus from the floor of the shower/bath. Another benefit of liquid soap is there are more options if you have sensitive skin or skin conditions/allergies/eczema.
If you have kids they initially will use more liquid than they would a bar soap, (but they will learn), and they also wash properly more often with liquid simply because of the ease of getting and applying it.
Liquid soap is more expensive, of course (make sure with Dr Bronners you dilute it per the label). You can refill from many wholefoods/health stores, to reduce your plastic consumption.
I use Liquid; although I do rue the amount of plastic this means I'm buying. I'm tempted to look into turning soap cakes into liquid soap. I also use the foaming pump dispensers as you don't end up with soap film on your hands and you use less soap.
