Everyone in our house uses the liquid soap. I life stuff that doesn't have a heavy scent, and my husband likes stuff to have as little scent as possible. He works in a scent-free environment and prefers it that way himself. The three kids are all still small enough to use the same soap. For them, I buy the Johnson's Head to Toe body wash. They smell so good that I love to snoggle my nose into their necks and give them lots of kisses.

Oh I also use that for my baby. He is just 4 months old and I know his skin is super sensitive so I chose Johnson's tip to toe wash for him. I also love the smell!

Dear friend, I mostly use hard soap and liquid while washing my hand mostly not while I am not in bath. All others too in my home use hard soap and like me they too for washing hands they use liquid soap.

We use bar soap for me and my husband and stepson. My daughter likes liquid soap. We have a place that you can go and make your own they let you mix it and make your own scent. It is called "bath junkie" she loves getting to do this.

I can use either as I don't smell stinky afterwards. When I was a lot younger I would use Bonne Bell's Shower 2000 but now I use either Dial or Safeguard. But i did have to be careful using soaps, hard or soft, that had a perfume smell to it. It makes my skin turn itchy red.

I use liquid soap. I have a bar of soap in the bathroom, but I don't think anyone uses it. My son seems to think it's just another bath toy. He uses liquid baby soap. I like liquid soap because of the convenience.

oh me too. I find it hard to use hard soap, specially when I needed to hurry up my bath time.

I've been using hard soap for most of my life but right now, I'm currently into bath gels. I received a lot of them last Christmas and on my last birthday and it'll be a waste not to use them. So, I'm going to use all of them before going back to hard soaps when I haven't changed my mind. It's nice using bath gels, I feel kid of more refreshed and clean and smooth and I don't know why. Plus their scent lasts longer. My mom and my brother use hard soaps though. We have like 4 different hard soaps and several bath gels here at home. Obviously, the bath gels are mine and the hard soaps are for my brother and my mom.

I normally use liquid soap for my hands only but when bathing I always use hard soap. I am using the clear Neutrogena soap which is very mild. My hubby uses Heno de Pravia while my son prefer Likas Papaya. For my twins I am using Dove soap. I am keeping my clear soap away from them because they like to play with it and jokingly call it jelly fish. When they saw it they'd put it in a pail of water and would pretend it was a jelly fish. My goodness it is very expensive so I always make it a point to put my soap beyond their reach.

It depends. I like liquid soap when it comes to things like Axe. I like bar soap when it is regular soap and I am doing some deep cleaning. Also, when I am cleaning my ear lately, I prefer liquid soap. I am required to wash it with antibacterial soap because I just got piercings in it.

Hi, I prefer using bath/shower gel - I've tried hard soap and found that it leaves a sticky layer on my skin, while the bath gel doesn't. However my hubby prefers hard soap - he said it cleans better!

from my observations, most guys prefer hard soap. my husband prefers it, and his reason is liquid soaps or body wash are girly things

I prefer liquid soap for convenience, because I tend to hurry up my bath and liquid soap is easier and faster to apply on the body than hard soap. It also creates more bubbles

Interesting! If you were my sister, you will say to me that I already tried a lot of different types of soaps. But among them all, I use no soap. Because I use a cream bar. lol .. Also my child uses it, it softens our skin without paying a lot. But my husband makes a different, he does not like it because according to him it gives him a slimy feeling and hard to get out even on a hard shower. But I love it, I don't need to apply lotion or any moisturizing cream on my body...I just love it!

oh well good for you that you found the right soap or bar for your body needs. well unfortunate for your husband( as he is always) he misses a lot of skin moisturizing. tell him to start using your bar, skin is the only thing he have

We all use liquid soap in the house. I usually by the big bottles so that there is enough for a month at a time. We all use same brand so I make sure to buy one that is versatile in scent for both sexes. With things being so expensive nowadays, it's just easier to buy something that works for everyone plus it's less bottles of stuff to keep track of.

Just like you! Bar for my husband and my two year old. Liquid for me and my one year old. All four of different brands. Liquid soap suits me best because it doesn't dry the skin and has moisturizers. When i use bar soap, i always feel dry, itchy and my skin becomes scaly. I use a bar soap though when i wash my hands.
