Have they discontinued Shield soap?

20 replies

OopNorfDahnSarf · 17/07/2022 13:53

If not, where can I find it?
If so, what can I use instead?

Just started using my last bar today and would love to be able to buy more or would be grateful for recommendations or alternatives. I like it because it doesn't dry out my skin and I believe it has slight deodorant properties.

Cheers.

www.shieldsoap.co.uk/stockists/

However, a quick search for shield didnt bring anything up on Amazon which is a pity seeing as I purchase virtually everything from there, but did remind me that Pears does a blue and a green one which are really really fresh, they're lovely.

Thank you. I have emailed them but everyone on their site says they are out of stock. I have never seen the blue Pears soap before so I might give it a try.

Yeah sadly it seems it has been discontinued. Irish Spring comes up when I search for it, apparently its a deodorant bar..

Interested in this thread?

Oh that's a shame!

I got some during the pandemic from Ocado as a retro joke

(one of the household is critically vulnerable, so shielding was part of life then, and to a certain extent still is #forgottenshielders #evushieldforthe_UK)

Blue pears soap is lovely. 40 odd pence in Home Bargains (where I have seen Shield) or 70 odd pence in Savers

You’ll find it on Ebay bought some last year.

I'm using Shield at the moment, it was the last bar in a multipack - I'll be scouring the supermarkets for more if it's gone out of production! Will try the blue pears soap, they changed the scent of the amber bar so I stopped using it.

I long for a retro bar of pearl soap. The pink one. They were the height of luxury bathing when I was a child. And the glimmery box!!

bellac11 · 17/07/2022 15:00

Pearl is on Amazon

Im a complete soap addict, love the stuff and all the old fashioned ones, Shield, Lux, Camay, Pears, Imperial Leather (white one)

Used to love this advert as a kid

I'll be sad if it's gone

beeswain · 17/07/2022 16:23

Still available in my local Wilko's - packs of 4 bars.

BrandNewBicep · 17/07/2022 16:24

I'm still getting it in my local Tesco.

OopNorfDahnSarf · 17/07/2022 23:08

Thank you everyone. I have had no luck online or in Boots. I used to be able to find it in Sainsbury's but now I will look in Tesco and Wilko.

We get an Asda’s own deodorant soap which works identically… might be worth a try?

Can I hijack please? Has anyone seen the Wright’s Coal Tar liquid soap with a pump dispenser?
I’ve struggled to find it, and when I do, it only has a flip top lid and I want a pump action one.

OopNorfDahnSarf · 18/07/2022 18:40

I got an email from the manufacturer today. They have had supply issues but these are now resolved and we should see it back in the shops in a few weeks.

OopNorfDahnSarf · 13/08/2022 18:59

It's available again in Sainsbury's online.
