How small and thin do you let a bar of soap get before you replace it?

thin and bendy

Really thin as you don't want to be wasteful.

What's a bar of soap?

I've used squirty soap, liquid shampoo and shower gel for years now. Back in the day when I used bars of soap I'd wait until the bar was so small it was unusable, then press it onto a new one so it didn't get wasted.

I like to buy goat's milk soap and it lasts a very long time!! I use it until it's a sliver because it's not cheap.

I usually use body wash in a bottle so I don't usually use bars of soap, but if I did it would be as small as possible.

Whatever's left I use for hand soap until it's completely gone

When I was in my early teens there was a doodad you could buy that was designed to make bars of soap out of scraps of soap. You'd keep all the small scraps and put them in a container and then, when the container was full, you dumped all the scraps of soap into a press. The press would squeeze out all the water and you'd end up with a single bar of soap made up of all the old scraps.

A great idea in theory but it took so many scraps of soap to make a bar that it was all but useless. Much easier to just press the scrap onto a new bar and be done with it.

Don't use soap


I use Aquanil cleanser for my face and Aveeno Daily Moisturizing body wash for the rest of me.
