There seems to be a very disturbing trend here with people ingesting their favorite bath bars.
Please, folks, try to keep one thing in mind:
If you eat too much soap, you will start to blow bubbles out your ass.
Aren’t you glad, you use Dial.
Dial, gold bar. I keep my toothbrush in the shower and use dial to brush my teeth with when I forget to load it up with toothpaste before stepping in. Makes me gag, but it works alright. I’m tough, I can take it.
All you Dove people are sick sick creatures. My roommate uses Dove sometimes and when we run out of Dial I’ll use her special Dove. The SHIT DOESN’T RINSE OFF!! IT WON’T RINSE OFF! I feel all slippery like i’m still covered in soap when I’m drying off. YUCK!
Like White Lightning and spooje, I’m a fan of Irish Spring. It smells like soap should smell. And (I can’t believe I’m going to admit this) I even enjoy their cheesy commercials…
As for soap-like products, I’m a devotee of Victoria’s Secret Amber Romance shower gel. According to the label, it’s “alluring,” and if there’s one thing I need more of in my life, it’s allure.
Whammo, are you ever right. Dove is like a super-slick-body-coating-bar, not a soap. it’s icky.
Serendipity, preach on sister.
“Juniper Breeze” from Bath and Body Works is probably my favorite.
I use Oil of Olay body wash. It smells nice and doesn’t leave that soapy film that makes you feel yucky after you shower. I haven’t had a problem with dry skin since I started using it. Hubby uses Lever… and in a pinch it isn’t too bad either.
I use… um… this stuff that comes in this white bar, and my mom buys it.
If left to my own devices I’d buy the cheapest crap I could find.
I like Bath & Body Works body wash gel shower cleany stuff. I use it on a puffpuff sponger thing. It smells good. Lots of different good smellification.
It’s yummy. 
I also use the Oil of Olay body wash - I like the way it makes my skin feel, and I like that the scent fades quickly.
I use Doctor Bronner’s liquid soap. The stuff is all natural. The peppermint oil in the peppermint soap burns like hell if you leave it on the skin too long. The almond soap makes your mouth water. The soap is great, but the label is pretty creepy to read; it’s full of small print of weird socio/religious/political messages. I recall SD answering a question about Dr. Bronner and his soap. It’s worth a look.
This is the story of two sisters, Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell. These are the Tates, and these are the Campbells, and this is…
…not the “Farewell Richard Mulligan” thread. Oops!
Kirk’s, definitely Kirk’s. Runnerup is the sandlewood body wash from Crabtree and Evelyn.
White Lightning, you are now temporarily classified as “freak” in the SDMB Log for eating soap and liking it. Please confirm your status by admitting you cut up your Irish Spring like the guy in the ads.
I found this obscure brand called “Tough Guy” soap… it’s got this yummy sandalwood scent. It’s made for guys, but this girly-girl loves how it smells. Plus, it doesn’t clash with my cologne.
I’m washing my hands of this thread. It’s off to IMHO* with the dental floss survey I started a couple months ago.
I use Dial soap (“mountain fresh” or something like that). I us it for three reasons: 1) It smell okay. 2) It’s antibacterial (I know using antibacterial products should be avoided, but I’ve decided to be a hypocrite about this). 3) It actually has the directions: “Use like regular soap” on the package; brings a smile to my face every time I see it.
I like Ivory (it just reminds me of all the times as a kid we went to the Sierras, the campground bathrooms used Ivory soap.)
I also love Crabtree and Evelyn soaps. Also, I usually special order soaps from a little soap shop up in Ferndale CA. They have some great, unique scents I cannot find anywhere else. My favorie is “Redwood Moss”.
Goodness, I’ve heard about them. Don’t eat the soap. Trust me.
Healing Garden’s Lavendar body gel. I am a lavendar scented girl, instead of purfume, I use the corresponding Lavendar lotion.
I use Freeman’s Cosmetics soap (and everything else). I like them cause they do the job, they are not tested on animals, and they smell like things you can recognize, like Raspberry Kiwi, Orange Grapefruit, Rosemary Mint.
I like the liquid soaps. Like neutragina(sp) Softsoap. Long as it smells good.
I use Dove soap (per my dermatologist) but I LOVE Paul Mitchells Tea Tree soap. Pick up a bar and you’ll see. It leaves you minty fresh and all tingly. Very nice!
