Do you use bar soap or body wash when you bathe?

[Ronni]

Or something else? Or nothing at all?

I’ve never been able to make the transition to body wash. Lord knows I’ve tried! My kids consider me a shower Luddite because I don’t use body wash and a scrubber or washcloth like “everybody” does!

Nope. I just use a bar of soap which I rub everywhere, use my hands to lather it up, rinse off and I’m done!

How about you?

 

[Mrs. Robinson]

Bar of soap for me too. Dh prefers body wash.

 

[Naturally]

I'd rather use a bar of soap like I did for most of my life but have found body wash produces much MUCH less soap scum.
I know hate is a strong word but I HATE housework more than I "hate" body wash. So, body wash it is.
And I use body wash for my very short hair too. But I also used bar soap for that too, when I used bar soap.

Dove body wash is my one and only choice , I stock up on it when it’s on special for 1/2 price ..it's normally about $17…but I time it right to get it for $8.50

Homemade bar soap in the shower, Liquid pump for washing hands in the sink.

Bar of soap, a washcloth and a foot scrubbie. The soap has shea butter in it and is the "extra gentle" from L'Occitane en Provence. A bar of it lasts forever.

I use a washcloth and a rough cloth foot scrubbie to remove not just dirt and sweat, but also the increasing dead, flakes of skin from this aging body.

 

[Mr. Ed]

Dove mens body wash

 

[debodun]

Body wash, easier for me because it's already a liquid.

 

[Pepper]

Both. Sometimes together. I have my methods.

I use Dove bar soap,when I run out will use Dove body lotion

It can be difficult to get a decent lather with soap. Why doesn't soap lather in cold water?
If you used something abrasive like a bath mop, you can do the job with just water.

Body wash - the cheapest I can find, but it has to be "for sensitive skin". That's usually Equate, the Walmart store brand.

Haven't used bar soap in years, but when I did, it was Zest.

 

[JustDave]

For the last couple of years, body wash combined with a luffa on a stick so I can reach my back. I have a bar of Ivory soap that I use on my face, however.

 

[MaidMarian]

I use Dove bar soap

Do you use bar soap or body wash when you bathe?​

Always Duru: Turkish soap made with olive oil.

 

[RadishRose]

Yardley English Lavender bar soap.

Also, not using liquid eliminates another plastic container.

 

[Rae]

I use Aveeno moisturizing body wash and a wash cloth.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I grew up with soap!

 

[Michael Z]

Dial antibacterial bar soap - it has been recommended to me for use the morning before any surgery.

 

[dilettante]

I don't have to outrun the bar...

Since I tend to get dirty I prefer bar soap and a wash rag. For years I used Irish Spring soap since I was a manly man, but now I'm a sensitive guy so have switched to Kirk's soap. Honestly Kirk's is the best soap I have ever used, it produces lots of suds which carries the dirt away and leaves my skin feeling mosturized.

 

[IKE]

Mama uses that liquid body wash stuff and shampoo....I use Irish Spring bar.

I don't mess with shampoo and just use the Irish Spring to wash my hair also, I figure if it's good enough to get my big rump clean it outta do a pretty darn good job of getting my hair clean also.

I use Dove bar soap,when I run out will use Dove body lotion

We use same Dove body wash.

Bar soap in the shower.

Foaming liquid soap for handwashing: lightly scented in the bathrooms, unscented in the kitchen. I make my own concoctions for these.
