Thread Name: BS: A Question About Soap
Subject: RE: BS: A Question About Soap
Irish Spring FINALLY put out a liquefied version; Hardi wanted it for years and now I like it too, altho it is less rinse-able than others. WalMart sometimes also carries a very nice tea-tree soap gel that I first met in my son and dau-in-law's shower. The two soaps mixed together are REALLY nice.
For rinse-ability, Coast bar soap.
For removing chlorine, the citrus blends.
I also keep a botle of inexpensive lotion in the shower, because it's easy to apply when one is warm and wet, using a scrubby-on-a-stick to slick it on everywhere without painful bending when my back or knee or hip or whatever are especially sore. I started doing that in my after-pool showers and finally got an extra bottle at home-- upper body one day, lower body the next, keeps me from getting too crispy.
I'm planning on just moving into the shower until spring. (I brush my teeth in there now, too.)
Keep in mind, different body parts may appreciate different soaps. I have a whole array of brushes, sponges, and soaps I employ in my routine.
And it differs at different times of year. Moisturizing soaps at least make me hope I'll stay snuggly in the dry winter weather, and citrus fools me into thinking I'm cool in the hot months. There's a nice lime soap I use sparingly-- expensive, and hard to get. I forget the brand (it's upstairs).
