Soap

In My Humble Opinion
1

Alrighty, I know I’m new and nobody knows me and bla bla bla… but I’m going out on a limb here and starting my first thread (Yay me!).

I love soap. Like, absolutely LOVE soap. I use a soap from a company based out of England called “Lush” (www.lushcanada.com). Hand made, natural ingredients (such as apple juice, etc.)… well, I guess all I’m wondering is what kind of soap everybody else uses. Hey, it could be interesting… you never know… or it could just suck. =)

Either way, I’ll take responsibility.

So? Got Soap?

Soap? I hate it. It’s disgusting. Gets all lathery and slippery and its supposed to go all over your body like that.

::shudder::

Personally, I just hose down in the backyard once a week to knock the big splotches of dirt off me.

Don’t even get me started on shampoo. That makes me feel nausueated.

Tone. It’s lathery, nondrying and cheap, and I am told (though I have no sense of smell meself) that it smells nice :slight_smile:

4

I like Lever.

When I was a kid, I said “Shit!” once and my mother stuck a bar of Ivory in my mouth. Does that count too?

5

Irish Spring Sport is the bomb. you get clean and you smell good… what more can a guy want in a soap?

on the girly front, body shop (body works? i don’t know the difference) has a soap called Satsuma that drives me totally nuts. i used to go into the bathroom just to smell it in the air after one of my housemates who used Satsuma got out of the shower. they finally bought me a couple bars but i can’t bring myself to open them. i just keep em in strategic locations around my place for when i need a sniff to brighten my day.

Ivory tastes good to me. i don’t know why it does, but whenever i happen to be showering with it (it’s my backup for when i’m in a hick town that doesn’t have a store that carries Irish Spring Sport), i always get a little in my mouth “on accident.”

I love body shop’s liquid soaps, especially oceanus. The regular stuff just dries my skin out.

7

Our water here is heavily laden with minerals, so I like Tone. It doesn’t seem to dry me out quite as badly, although I have to get it rinsed off pretty quickly, or it feels like it’s left a film on my skin.

8

I’m a Dove girl. It’s the only one that doesn’t dry me out (thank you Accutane).

And personally, I prefer soap that doesn’t make me vomit.

:wink:

Ever since it was recommended for the antibacterial properties of Triclosan for cleaning new body piercings, I have used, and absolutely LOVED the smell of Liquid Dial. I buy the big gallon bottle at Costco and refill all the small dispensers in our home.

Same with me, except I accidentally get Dove in my mouth…
What’s wrong with us?

11

I adore dove, it’s just so soft and mousturizing, I dunno why I love it, I just do. Though I can’t account for taste.

I use Jergens aloe this week. Not only was it on sale but it leaves my skin oh so silky smooth.

13

Another vote fer Irish Sping!

14

I use Kama Sutra’s Clove Body wash.

I, too, love soap. I’m planning on attempting to make my own.

15

Freaks, man. we’re freaks. that’s all there is to it. you’ve got a big time post party coming up though, so it’s okay.

16

Yay, I always love it when posters cross new frontiers of the mundane and pointless. Larmal, m’dear, you are Lewis, Clark, and Sacajawea rolled into one! Welcome to our world.

17

I like Lush too, except I can’t smell anything else for an hour after going in there. Dove wins on the creamy moisturising factor and means I can still smell.

Oh and welcome to the board.

18

I’m another fan of Dove. The only trouble with it is that it goes mushy too easily.

19

I love their Cedar Soap from Scotland. It’s a very soft scent. On my last visit to the city, they told me they weren’t going to carry it anymore so I bought the last eight bars they had.
Once that’s gone, I guess I’ll go back to Calgon’s, In The Rain Body Gel.

I buy an obscure brand from the Paper Street Soap Company.
