soap options for small cloakroom sink - not wall mounted

Hi, I have a small rectangle cloakroom sink. It's awkward to find a soap dispenser to sit comfortably by the tap. I don't want to mount anything on the wall, has anyone come across a decent option of either a refillable dispenser or soap brand that is small enough? The available spot is about 6.5 x 7cms but can't be too tall as the room is quite narrow and folk then knock it off when passing. TIA.

I'll add a photo if I can get it to work.

I'm over invested in your search now OP here's a compact soap dish for a bar

I was given a gift set from rituals that included some v small dispensers. Could you look at something like that that you refill? The body shop would probably have something similar in a nice bottle.

This was the set - the bottle was small enough (although £20 is quite a lot for a dispenser, you might be able to find something better value elsewhere!) www.rituals.com/en-gb/the-ritual-of-sakura---renewing-treat-2019-1105971.html?source=cop&showbacklink=false#start=1

Thanks folks - sorry was doing other shopping for DS2s birthday. Travel size is a good shout and i've seen a few things that I could use and then refill - 100ml seems like the standard size I need rather than the 200/250 that seems to be the normal. I think i'm going to try that, the aldi option or still see if I can find a suitable soap dish and some travel soaps.

My only issue with the latter is if people would be okay about using a possibly used soap in someone else's toilet? Obviously if i was expecting visitors i'd put a new bar in, but if they were unexpected, then there is likely to be a used bar in there and I don't want to end up with a pile of singly used bars as that makes no sense. Not that I have a lot of visitors, but you know what i mean.

When I was growing up (old) this was not even a thought! Grin

i'm old too, we'd have had one bar of soap between the 9 of us and it would have been used in the only bathroom for the bath and the sink - or maybe not used very often...

Sorry, that's still too big for the space, as have been the other compact joseph and joseph stuff. I have a similar thing for the kitchen and it's decent but just doesn't work for the space I have - thanks though to all who've had suggestions that haven't worked. It's just such an awkward space.

Did you get one suitable as we have the same issue.
