I remembered the trick of putting a bottle cap into the soap

My friend gave me a nice bar of soap from a farmers' market. Lovely, but it was getting a bit soggy in the soap dish, and I remembered my Granny's trick of pushing a beer bottle cap into the soap. You stand the soap on the bottle cap and it's a little platform so the soap dries. Brilliant.

i have a magnet on a suction cup, and a "bottle cap" type thing to push in the soap, it's pushed onto the tiles in my shower and is brilliant.

I was in my 40s before realising that’s the purpose of the little hard label on a bar of Imperial Leather soap 🙈

but it's indented for quite a while before it sticks up, or do you mean it's magnetic? I'm confused.

Good tip!

I wish they still had those magnets in bathrooms to pop the soap on, genius invention but I’ve only seen them on bathrooms that are probably 30+ years old

They have them on Amazon, I bought some recently.

No it’s not magnetic. It takes a few days but the more the soap is used the more prominent the label becomes and it sits on it.

yes but that takes ages - it is indented for quite a while, then level, and the sticks out.
