Which one you prefer? Liquid Shower Gel or Solid Soap?

Hi there mylotter.. Eventhough there are so many choices for us, i still prefer the solid soap, and it is a baby soap.:) Yeah, sometimes i use the liquid soap for the travel or go out somewhere.

I like liquid shower gel too, but in the long term, i prefer solid soap. Why? This is because many products like soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that we expect to "foam up" commonly using this Sodium Laureth Sulfate and its close relative Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Unfortunately, both sodium laureth sulfate and its cousin are also very dangerous, highly irritating chemicals. Far from giving "healthy shining hair" and "beautiful skin", soaps and shampoos containing sodium laureth sulfate can lead to direct damage to hair follicle, skin damage, permanent eye damage in children and ever liver toxicity. Try to check up in your bathroom. I bet almost all of them have this Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulfate!!

hi dear friend i use mostly solid soap and so far am comfortable with solid soap. what about you dear. have a nice day friend

Hi Iriene. Since I love variety, I alternate between solid soap, such as Ivory or Dove, and the liquid shower gels...Tone and Softsoap Citrus Shower Gel are what are in there right now lol. I love the smells of each of these. One thing I have noticed is that the liquid gels rinse from the body more easily, leave it softer, and don't leave a "scum" on the shower walls the way bar soap often does. Karen

solid soap is easy to use, the other is time consuming...i use solid soap. but when i have the time to indulge in i prefer a gel.

My personal preference is shower gel. I think my biggest reason for that is the hygeine issue. With a bar of soap you have many hands on it, with shower gel, no one touches the gel. Just my preference.

I prefer the liquid shower soap. We use alot more of it though it seems. It doesn't seem to leave the soap film.

hmmm... well, I buy bar soap more..but I do like liquid soap. though I never really thought about switching over or whatever. but coming to think about it, liquid might be better then bar soap. then your not touching your body with the same old soap or one that someone else may have used for their body (husband and kids). with liquid it would be like new and fresh everytime, untouched. so, maybe I will switch. your discussion made me think! lol

I prefer to use liquid soap and I have several scents in them. I am currently using Dove Cool Fresh body wash. However,there is a new soap (by Dial I think) that it a pomegrante and I know that the bar soap has a better scent to it than the body wash does. I don't feel that the liquid soaps dry my skin out as much as the bar soap.

i like liquid soap to wash my hands with and to keep at all the sinks in the house. i like bar soap though to use in the shower.

I use shower gel nowadays... Can't grib the soup properly with my little fingers, so decided to use shower gel which is much easier.. and once a while, pressing some on the bath sponge to have some form for the body feel really good...

I prefer liquid shower gel with aromatherapy. Personally, I think solid soap not hygiene,,because (I ever used it when I was child) I often fall it to the bathroom floor and then I flushed it with water then use it again.. The bubble is not as much as liquid too.. Aromatherapy makes me happy and relax.. I usually take a bath in the morning and I need aroma to wake me up..then at the evening when I feel tired,,I need that aroma too to make me relax

My answer is liquid shower, Because use it very fast, I keep one In my bathroom , another one in my office.

i like using liquid shower gel dont like using solid soap much. i always go to bath and body works to get the nice differnt smell shower gel they have there.

Hi there! I prefer a bar of soap, instead of using liquid gel. Reason may be that we are used to it since our childhood and it gives a kind of satisfaction, while rubbing the same on our body. If I use a liquid shower gel, I may not get a feel of it and may not com to know that how much, I've used or how much was required to be used to wash my body.

Nothing exciting just boring ol hard soap. We'd probably have liquid if I had responsible kids who didn't waste one bottle every trip into the tub *sigh* Sad I have to keep shampoo locked up or up high.

At first I wasn't a huge shower gel user, but then I came across the cologne fragrance sets through Avon! I still use bar soap, mainly to wash my hands or if I'm just taking a shower to sit around the house! Now if I'm going out, I have to break out the cologne scented body wash; and when I'm done, I can layer it with the deodorant and cologne! The kit usually comes with the cologne spray, aftershave lotion, deodorant and body wash! Right now I have 4 sets, looking to build... Taripre$

i prefer solid soap than liquid. Because it is comportable for me a solid soap than liquid...only shampoo is a liquid that I use for hair purposes only. have a great day!

Bar soap can harbor germs so I would prefer the liquid stuff.

liquid. as you said, it smells better because its in a bottle, the smell is well preserved. and its cleaner. even if the bottle falls down, no problem. But the bar falls down, i'd be wincing when i wash it and still have to use it. plus liquid gels are like using fresh soap everytime, because you don't have to use it again and again.
