Soap - bar or liquid?

Postby annie » 07 Mar 2015, 09:47

Which do you prefer?
I use liquid in the kitchen, but bar in the bathroom, my favourite is Lush - Honey I washed the kids

Soap is more popular in liquid form than in bars in the UK - but there are good reasons to stick with the old-fashioned way of keeping clean, says Gareth Rubin.

How do you like to scrub up? If you prefer liquid soap to the solid stuff, you're in the ascendancy. According to market research firm Mintel 87% of Britons regularly buy liquid soap, against 71% who buy bars of it. And solid soap is slipping down the popularity table. But why do many people still prefer traditional bars of soap?

I mix both, I have bars of really nice "smelly" soap as a treat, but I usually use shower gel and liquid hand soap

coal tar soap is the only soap that doesn't irritate my skin and give me an itchy red rash.
I am going to try lush products now.
than999 for the article.
