Does anyone else still use soap instead of shower gel in the shower?

I use a bar of soap, and solid shampoo and conditioner too. Cheaper, and easier to pack!

Natural handmade soap with oils to stop it drying skin. Not cheaper than shower gel but much nicer to skin. Comes with little heassian type soap bag to keep it in that you can use as a scrub I believe aswell

Cheap soaps dry skin out and shower gel is just chemical ridden and causes all sorts of issues with dry skin for me, especially the cheap ones full of SLS

I don't use soap (haven't had a bar of soap in the house for at least 20 years) or shower gel.


I wash my hair in the shower every day and use the shampoo to wash the rest of me too.


Take two bottles into the shower? Not me.

Aww..that reminds me of my nan . When I was a little girl (I'm now 54!) I used to buy her one of those soaps, wrapped in tissue paper and shaped like a lemon, every Christmas!

I always used to use shower gel until I met my boyfriend who just uses Dove soap. That lathers up beautifully and lasts for AGES compared to shower gel. There's also far fewer plastic bottles being wasted. I've switched to bar soap for handwashing too, mainly to reduce packaging.

The humble bar of soap (with hot water) has saved countless lives through basic hygiene over the decades. We owe it a lot!

At home we use both (probably more gel).

I mostly shower in the gym after my morning swim, so it's more convenient to take gel with me.

Soap

The tesco pro one that's the same as dove

Never use soap on my face though, way too drying

Alikay used to do the same for our nan and like other posters have mentioned she used to put it in with the linens till it had dried out before using it. Her normal soap was a bar of household soap. She washed her clothes, herself and her hair with it. When I come across it now it reminds me of her so much

In the sink, we have handwash as we have a toddler and it is easier for when she is washing her hands.


Shower, we still use gentle soap. Less harsh on the skin.

Have you tried TK Maxx? They sell Bronnley soap.

That reminds me of when I was little and got my Uncle a Soap on a Roap....every single Christmas, it became a running joke!
