If you use bar soap, do you think it is self cleaning?

If you share the bar of soap with others think about what part of the boby the other person washed last and what part do you wash first?

    That's why I use shower gel! I can't stand sharing that stuff, no matter how much I love my husband and kids!

    If you like soap better, just share the soap, but not the washcloths. That way you all use the soap to lather up the washcloth, so it's just going on a clean washcloth and won't be anywhere unmentionable!

    I have completely converted to liquid soaps, body wash and hand soap. I think residue remains on and collects on between showers, I don't even want to be rubbing my old filth around let alone someone else. Also, liquid soaps don't dry my skin out as much.

    Bar soaps as you know carry a lot of bacteria.Personally, I don't use them because of the germs and mess they leave behind. Have a nice weekend.

    That's the reason I scrub the soap down before I use it on myself (except my hands which do the scrubbing) so by the time I'm done scrubbing the outside layer off, I'm now down to new soap, so to speak. Yuk.

    pls do not share the soap tablet if you do pls make sure you wash it for 5 minutes before you use it( it will be half it's size) so you might start fighting soon on it and start buying differnt kinds for different people..
