Bar soap or body wash?
« on: August 30, 2015, 12:39:39 AM »
Why is it that ppl still insist on using bar soap. And even if you do prefer it for some reason, I think it should be standard to have body wash for guests. There are very few things worse than having to use someone's dirty bar.

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I felt that if it didn't get its own thread ppl might not take it seriously enough.

Yes that works. In general I'm not sure why ppl are so busy with bars. Someone mentioned that they work "better" I'm curious to know what that means and where they get the data from.

If there are from the top chains or 5* hotels, yes

If by creating this thread one person one time avoids such a situation I think it will be well worth it.

Body wash is more expensive. A bar of saop per the amount spent on it gets used more.
And yes,  it is unacceptable to give a guest a used bar of soap.
I prefer body wash for the reason of which it usually smells better and doesn't come in one genetic scent (lavender maybe).
I'm not who you think I am.

It has nothing to do with the nastiness of using somebody else's used bar... the problem is is that bar soap almost instantly makes you feel like you are coated in candle wax that will never rinse off. Although I must admit, it doesn't bother many people so I am forced to conclude that either a) different people have different skin, or b) we have the same skin but some people don't care about that terrible feeling.

As far as personal preference, I get bar soap - there are lots of different scents. Some affect the skin more than others, everyone is different on that.

Cost - bar soap is WAY cheaper, and I think each bar lasts longer, to. So you're talking about a price difference of about 10x.

As far as guests and used bar soap, I definitely hear. On the other hand, with body wash, you're using a loufa anyway, presumably? So unless you bring your own loufa, the only difference is that you can't see the hairs.

+1 I agree with your wax description. I was never able to properly describe the nasty feeling.

No you are not using a loofa. Do you use a loofa to wash your hands at the sink?

Are you a girl? (No offense if you are.) Put the liquid in your hand. Just like you do with the bar soap except you will actually become clean and not just cover your own dirt with a waxy, itchy film.
