I stopped using soap a long time ago as it was drying out my skin so much. Body washes which are soap free are much better at moisturising your skin and I've noticed a difference. Bars of soap also get quite yucky with bits of dirt and hair stuck to them, it really puts me off and can't be that hygienic, as well as the fact that they're so easy to drop in the shower as they slip out of your hands!

How is body wash soap free? it is a form of soap?
Your right about the yucky soap. I hate going to take a shower and there is hair all over it-yuck.

wow I didnt know that. Thank you for the information. I never really thought to see what was in soap. I think I should-animal fat sounds yucky.

Many body washes these days, such as Simple Body Wash, say that they are 'soap-free'. They don't contain the main ingredients of soap, such as animal fats, but use different ingredients to cleanse your body, so they don't consider themselves to be soaps.

I cant remember the last time I bought a bar of soap. I like anything that smells like cucumber melon. This smell relaxes me and I just love anything that relaxes me!!! I can be stress free and clean at the same time!

I use bar soap for washing my hands (the liquid hand soaps really dry my skin out) but in the shower i use a body wash or shower gel rather than a soap, thought o be honest i tend to bathe more often so i generaly et the bubbles from my bubble bath cleanse me.

I like bubble baths but I rarely take them. I like having the soap washed away. It is nice for a change though.

I like both actually . I love to buy soaps and the shower gels from bath and body works . I like the soft soap shea butter wash , and that has been good for me to use in the summer . I have been using lever aloe cucumber and that has a nice light smell .

I know of bath and body works. Is there a webpage for it? Anything with aloe and cucumber is a great scent.

I like the bar soap better. What I usually do is use the soap first, then rub the soap on the loofah scrub and do the scrubbing right after. The soap I use though is called Gluta. If I don't have my Gluta supply yet then I just go for Dove for the meantime.

I like them both but I hate it when the bars of soap get all sloppy or people let them sit in the soap dish and they start to break down. The liquid soaps are nice but everyone here uses way to much of it and they end up wasting it. I like some of the scents ones, especially the cucumber melon.

That is true about bar soap. I hate when someone leaves a little sliver of soap and when you get in and get wet you notice you have no soap-LOL
Most kids dont realize a little dab will do you.
Cucumber melon sounds like a nice relaxing scent.

I can see where that would be an issue.
Would it help having non slip pads in the tub?

I wonder why that is? Its true soap leaves you dry. Perhaps the body washes have moisturizers where soap doesnt?

I used Tone body wash today. I cant smell it any more after a few hours. Bar soap smell seems to last longer I agree with you.

We use body wash, I do not have any particular one that I stick too, as I get fed up of the same smells all the time. I always look out for special offers on things like that and usually get them when they are buy one get one free. I also use handmade soap and have it in 11 different smells it is gorgeous.
