In the shower: soap or body gel?

[terrya]

I've discovered the cleansing attributes of body gel and will never go back to Ivory soap again.

[demnan]

1. Dove body wash

one of my few indulgences.

[supernova]

2. body washes and gels

I love them. They are so much cleaner than an icky, half-dissolved bar of soap.

It saves on cleaning too, since liquids don't leave soap scum.

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. liquid gel

Soap leaves film and is icky.

[tandot]

4. Body wash/gels...I always wondered if I use bar soap, what "places"

it has "seen" on my family's bodies...

I find body wash more hygienic

[bpcmxr]

5. Dr. Bronner's Peppermint! (liquid)

And a Japanese nylon washcloth.

Best. Shower. Ever.

8. I love Dr. Bronner's Peppermint!

If that does not wake you up in the morning, nothing will.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

21. yeah like the minute it reaches your bu...

nevermind

[Rainbowreflect]

22. Yes, you do need to be careful.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. actually I find it.....

would stimulating be the word I am looking for?

[Rainbowreflect]

27. I guess it depends on how stimulated I want to be

first thing in the morning.

6. The absolute BEST body shampoo

is Oil of Olay.

[GOPisEvil]

7. Yeah, but what would you think if your man was using it?

;-)

[supernova]

26. I agree, CW

It feels like bathing in moisterising lotion. MMmmmmm.

9. Scented body wash stuff

I tend to like this flowery rose stuff, but sometimes in the Winter especially, my skin is too sensitive and I have to use the Dove Sensitive skin bar soap. :)

10. Soap. Ivory.

I buy the .99 cent shampoo, too. I'm just a cheapskate at heart.

:hi:, terrya!

[terrya]

14. Hey, I buy Suave shampoo. That's about as cheap as you can get.

:hi:, Finnfan! :-)

[HuckleB]

11. Soap. Irish Spring.

If you can't put it on a rope, it ain't dope!

[VelmaD]

12. Both

I use a body gel for everything from the neck down. Usually something that smells like fruit...peaches or citrus or rasberries (which is what I'm using right now).

For my face though I have to use Ivory soap. Anything else makes me break out.

[flamingyouth]

13. Both, depending on my mood

I should say here that I probably have the world's largest collection of bath products. :eyes: When we moved a couple of months ago, there were literally boxes of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, body wash, etc. My husband could exist with one bar of soap and shaving cream, however.

[Pale Blue Dot]

15. I don't even use the shaving cream!

Just the ivory soap, right there in the shower.

[flamingyouth]

17. He uses it to shave his head

Bald as a cueball. :)

[Sentath]

18. Yup, bar ivory for hurried mornings

and a nice gel wash that I'm not too sensitive to the scent of when I have the time to try and rinse some of the moisturizer off.

[Penndems]

16. Both

I have shower gels and body lotions in my favorite fragrances (Chanel Number 5, Angel, Dior Addict and Kors) that I use for work and special occasions. My hubby has a bottle of Silver Mountain Water Hair and Bath Gel by Creed that I bought for him last Christmas, but I use it more than he does. ;)

Then again, I LOVE the small, combination soaps that Fresh puts out. My favorites are: Currant-Marine, Gardenia-Magnolia, Jasmine-Rose, Tuberose and Violet-Moss. Also, the salt scrub and soap from Bliss Laboratories.

Ah, the indulgence!

19. I like tongue baths.

:P

[midnight armadillo]

20. zumbar

Zumbar lemongrass goat milk soap. Whee! :party: :beer: :party:

[Servo300]

24. soap

Whatever the cheapest I can find.

[Speck Tater]

25. Sandpaper, steel wool and bleach.

That grout is hard to clean some times.

[supernova]

28. Make my own glycerine soaps

to clean my face. That way I can add my own fragrances and colorings.
