would really give a toss about touching a "germy Soap Pump" as advertised by Dettol

havn't seem soap on a rope for years ...... I guess many MNetters would call it "Dangerous accumulation of scary micro-organisms on a rope"

Tanmu82 yes, it's the permeable nature of it. It also depends on the quality etc etc etc If you are that worried, buy the stuff you spray on seats and/or the disposable seat sheets (like the ones in some public toilets), but really it's the back of your legs touching the seat, not your 'bits' so it's not really that much of an issue.

massivemammaries no of course not...we call it the 'Don't bend over soap'

kreecher I have an on the wall soap holder - ridiculously expensive Molton Brown one, but I'm sure there must be cheaper ones out there.
