Hello mylotters, do you share the same body soap with your other family members? Our family each used different body soap, for children they have different soap which are hypoallergenic. Happy mylotting.

I don't think that you should use the same soap with your family members specially with the kids. We have soaps that suites in each others skin.

Thank you for sharing rhina. I do think too nowadays due to crisis, family just share soaps as long no one is allergic to one type of soap. Happy mylotting.

hi sheanne, In our household adults used a different antibacterial soap & kids used a hypoallergenic & antibacterial soap.Speaking about hygiene well it is really a must to used different soaps but with the crisis nowadays,I think there's nothing wrong with using just one soap as long as no one in the family has any skin allergies that is contagious.LOL..have a great day!!!

Yes, we share the same body soap except my son who 2,7 yearls old. He used body soap special for kids. We would like to share body soap if liquid soap but when we used bar soap, each other used different soap.

When i was a kid we do the same thing you do. We, the kids, have a different soap from our parents. But now that we're all grown up we share the same soap. I haven't experienced any skin allergies so far. I guess it means it's ok for us to do that..

Huh? That will not so good if we share soap especially not the body wash. Everyone of us has the different skin. From children we use the soft soap for children designed. If we share a soap together you can fancy that if one of the member family has the bacteria, it will move from one family member to another member. So care of your health. Prevent is better than to cure. Right?

Sharing soap with everyone in the family is unsanitary. It's really a big no-no for me.

Why would soap be unsanitary? I've never thought of it that way. Soap is to clean, I don't see how it would be bad to use the same bar of soap. I'm interested in why you feel this way. It may change my thinking on it.

I am going to be the really different one here. I never even thought about us all having our own soap. I have a bar of soap in each of our shower/tubs and everyone uses it. The same with shampoo. I try to never buy soap or shampoo unless I have coupons and it is on sale. I can understand the need for different soap when someone is allergic. When my kids were real little I did use Johnson and Johnson baby soaps for them.
