    Default Soap

    I really just want to know what kind of bar soap you use for the shower and what you do or don't like about it. Either for yourself or your husband- don't mean the kids. If you use liquid soap, you can mention that too- but I'm not into that.
    And I'm curious how many of you *use* bar soap!

    I use Dove unscented bar soap. Not a long list of weird ingredients.
    DH is stuck on Coast bar soap.

    DH uses body wash. I use bar soap. I like a glycerine soap if I have some. Right now I am using Burt's Bees. It's okay...not sure what I don't like about it. I like more mild soaps. Often times, I can find some at Homegoods/TJMaxx for cheap that are pretty natural.

    We use dr bronners Castile soap which comes as liquid or bars. We'll also use dove at times since the other can be hard to find.

    We use Dove Unscented bar soap. It lasts much longer then the liquid soap. I use the Clinique bar soap for my face.

    There is one bar of Dove in our shower (DH and I) and one bar in dd's bathroom.

    I take whatever's in that particular shower, though I prefer bar soap to shower gel. One shower has a bottle of St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter shower gel; the other shower has bar soap.

    I've been using the Method Olive Leaf soap for a couple of years with no ill effects, except during my 1st trimester of my pregnancy when EVERYTHING bothered me. (I even started using Dial Antibacterial for a while because I'd catch a whiff of the Method stuff and get queasy.)

    To use the bar soap, I lather it up in my hands.
    To use the shower gel, I put a little bit on a scrubby pouf

    I was using body wash (just whatever was on sale-Olay, Dove, St. Ives) or Lever 2000 (what DH uses) when that ran out. I recently started using Dove and have noticed my skin is much softer. I grew up using mostly Dove. Then in my single career days i was using whatever body wash struck my fancy ($ was not an object-lol).
