Bubble bath as a replacement for body wash?

I've run out of body/shower wash but wondered whether I could use bubble bath as an alternative. I don't really get much time to have a bath and would like to try and use up the mounting bottles of bubble bath I've been bought as gifts.

    Ive used bubble bath before, when we were on holiday recently, we used shampoo as well, to save taking too many different bottles with us!!!!

    I would also use bubble bath, or even soap if you have oily skin.

    Old age isn't bad when you consider the alternative.

    Those overpriced pump action foaming shower mouse bottles work really well refilled with bubbly bath. HTH

    For years I've used Sainsbury own brand lavender & something or other dishwashing liquid, in all my pump hand-wash bottles and in the shower-gel bottles too. No one notices and everyone comments on the lovely smell! We haven't developed dry, blotchey, etc etc skin either.

    We have been using the glut of bubble bath we get for gifts as shwel gel, handwash. and Ive even been known to use it in the washing machine when I ran out of powder and refused to smash my budget :T
    perfectly acceptable!!

    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I've got gallons of the stuff from when I used to work in a BB factory.

    How much do you put in the washing and does it really get stuff clean?

    I used it in a light wash. In all fairness, water alone will bring most light marks out in any case. Really its just for the smell :) Most of the time its not that our clothes are actually dirty, more that they smell of smoke :o
