Do you like using a gel body wash, a bar of soap, or body scrub? I dont really care on which i use except, i have some body scrub but i dont like it because it doesnt get soapy and i dont feel like it works. A problem i have though is i like soap that lingers on your body, so you smell like it almost all day. Do you know of a good body wash that will linger?

I use "Dial antibiotic liquid soap" it was suggested to me by my doctor,and i loveit..You feel so clean and it leaves your skin feeling so good and fresh.....I also use a luffa the first time i soap up then i just rinse off and soap up again with a regular wash cloth,so that works for me ,and you feel really clean until your next bath is ready...

I like body washes, but I don't like anything that lingers - I tend to get irritated skin when soap stays on it.... I'd probably like a scrub for the face.... I don't much care for bar soap - but i'll use it before using no soap.

I dont get bothered, my fiance has senisitve skin though and he cant get in the shower after i cleaned it with chemicals, unless i let the hot water run for a long time after cleaning it.

I use body wash as i feel soap dries my skin. I do wish the smell lingered more but I have tried many kinds and it just doesnt work so I always buy the matching body spray.

Yea and its even hard to find good body spray that lingers, without sparying yourself more than once a day.

I tend to use body wash and a loofah. Every once in awhile I'll use bar soap and washcloth but it tends to leave a film like on me. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Avon Bubble Bath different flavours - A picture displaying 5 different flavours in the Avon Bubble Bath body wash
I love to use gelled body wash myself or the Vanilla Body Wash from Avon which seems to have a sorta creamy texture. I think it's called bain-mousse vanilla cream. The gelled one is from St.Ives and is called Peach Sorbet. They both leave a sorta lingering effect on your skin. But I can't be so sure as I always use those lotions with scents on them and I am very sure that some of them linger for a long time. I'm not a fan of scrubs for some reason, even though I know they are good to use. My mum used to use St. Ives Apricot Scrub but I don't think that left any scent at all... Below is a picture of what the bottle looks like for the Avon ones. There are many different flavours but Vanilla is my favourite.

I've used avon a few times. I usually get sauvee (because my fiance is a tight-wad and wont spend a couple more dollars on a better brand)

I use soap more than others. I found that soap keep fragrance for a long time. Body wash doesn't has fragrance than soap.

I use body wash, but like you said, the scent doesn't last very long. I use a matching body spray instead.
