DH and I disagree about Soap 😳

Dove isn't actually technically soap.

We have soap here. DH prefers it, so two of our three loos have soap. The en suite only has hand wash. He uses the washing up liquid in the kitchen while I also have hand wash in there.

We also have soap in the shower. He uses bog standard supermarket soap, I use shower gel first all over, and then Dettol soap for my underarms as it's great for weird peri-related sweat issues (tip I read on here).

Look in any shops that sell any kind of bathroom products- whole shelves of soap! Somebody obviously buys it. We have bar soap in the shower, DH likes Dove because he has sensitive skin, and refillable hand-wash in the washbasins. Bar soap doesn't spread germs in a domestic setting, it rinses off.

We have a mix of hand wash and bar soap on our basins , currently using L’Occitane cherry blossom , which is lovely . Of the soap available in supermarkets imperial leather is one of the better ones .

Don’t they both have similar ingredients

Tell me your level of science knowledge without telling me your gcse results 😂😂😂 sharing soap isn’t gross due to how soap works.

Get a dish of water, sprinkle in pepper then add a tiny bit of soap and watch how it behaves. My dc did this age 9 so maybe you had chicken pox that day but always good to keep learning.

This highland soap looks gorgeous. Expensive but maybe it lasts a long time.

I use Pears shower gel. The smell is so nostalgic. I expect you disapprove OP.

Don't ban Imperial Leather OP, it gives your husband happy, nostalgic vibes.

Im agreeing with others.
Its not a big deal to have your own soap. You can please yourself what you get then.

Imperial leather 🤢 I hate the smell!
if he loved his ”luxury” soap let him have it and get a second soap dish for your preferred option.

I have 2 bars just for me. Detol soap for first scrub then a nice L’occitaine one for second scrub 😂😂😂 but then I’m a bit of a weirdo about getting clean

☠️🤣😅😂☠️😅😅🤣😂☠️🤣😂

That is hilarious! Does your cat respond to any other soaps????

OP, my husband and I have separate soaps and shower gels because we like different scents.

I mean I like bars of soap- but I wouldn’t choose that one.

The best ever soap is olive oil soap, you can get it on amazon

I buy Waitrose essentials soap so yes you are being unreasonable. Save Jo Malone for body cream

DH was an Imperial Leather fan - I was not. He was not a fan of feminine floral scents ... so we each had our own soap. However in recent years I have managed to get him to use liquid soaps and shower gels (green apple or lemon).

Don't like soap that much. Hangs around getting manky.

Soap dishes also collect moisture which can lead to mould behind them.

Shower gel and liquid soap all the way.

Although I would like it if the dispensers were a bit more environmentally friendly.

I like Faith in Nature soaps. You can buy a boxful.

Imperial Leather is 70s/80s nostalgia soap. I didn’t know you could still get it. It always went dry and cracked near the end, in an unpleasant way.

I remember Camay but we were allergic to it.

I use bar soap in the shower daily from Highland Soap Co. I also use the shampoo bars. Luxury stuff. I won't go back to plastic bottles.

Soap is soap is soap for me.

Tangentially related bonus comment: one of the silver linings of the COVID pandemic was bars and restaurants got much better at keeping soap/handwash in their toilets.

My dh changed to Imperial last year and it actually makes him come back from work still actually smelling ok. Because other brands he tried ugh I could tell when we was coming into the house despite all the deodorants he was using to...However I'm allergic to most so have my Palmolive one...Also we recently went away for a few days and can I say by accident we found out Imperial is amazing on stains, I spilt some wine we had nothing but the soap and it took stain straight out

Ah I love Jo Malone so but I can't think of any scent the produce that I would like a man smelling like.

Men smell better with scents like forests, wood etc.

Let him hace his scent and you have yours!

It’s not retro to try to reduce single use plastic. We use bar soap, washing powder in a cardboard box, glass milk bottles…

Pearl?
