I know, boring but your recommendation would be helpful....

[PaperFlyingFucks]

I'm looking to swap from hand wash/shower gels back to soap and soap dish but want to prevent the sludgy soap dish memories of my youth.

I'm between two options. Both are Joseph Joseph - if you have either of these or use a great alternative, I'd like your review please.

Joseph Joseph option 1

Joseph Joseph option 2

Also, in the same vein I'd like to explore shampoo/conditioner bars. If you use these, recommendations would be welcome too.

Thanks!

I found the Joseph Joseph one in a charity shop. I looked at it for ages wondering what it was as they are so small. When the light bulb came on, I paid my £1 and
Ive found it really useful. The smaller
footprint means it. can go on a small sink in my cloakroom, the upright position of the soap dries it out as it is exposed to air for much of the soaps life. The drainage works perfectly and it is easy to clean.

The JJ ones work well. They pop apart for cleaning.

I use these (bought them in duck shape from a little shop) but these are very similar: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Draining-Bathroom-Accessories-Multi-Directional-Kitchen/dp/B0D62VLBYC/ref=asc_df_B0D62VLBYC?mcid=6a55e8ebb521331ebd9e6f251fa88fef&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=713032345095&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8084482501619625323&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046396&hvtargid=pla-2396753166609&psc=1&hvocijid=8084482501619625323-B0D62VLBYC-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1 No sludge!

Some nice options here:

We have a metal one which allows the air to circulate around the soap:

I’ve also tried the shampooand conditioner from this company; it was quite good, but I’m still searching for a replacement for the Ethique which I used for years - no longer sold in this country sadly. Might try that Nope next.

That one I have for the shampoo/conditioner, and for soap bars I have a slatted bamboo one (I like the natural material and it won’t scratch the bath if you drop it). This sort of thing:
