Shower gel VS. Bar Soap.

there's less cleaning after using a shower gel, but a bar of soap is more hygienic. I sell both. the thing is, bacteria breeds much more easily in a liquid, and that's why shower gels need preservatives in them but soaps are usually preservative free. I think it depends what you want to use it for. I enjoy shower gel to wash my hair and body, but I prefer a solid for hand washing, and will also use it for body washes.

It depends on the availability and its function. When my aunt buys me a bar soap, then I'll use it. If she buys me a shower gel, I'll also use it. XD. But, I use bar soaps more often since most whitening soaps are bar soaps.

Showergel is the better one due to convinence and so on but dont under estimate soap. There is a type of soap made out of watermelon seeds (yes watermelon) and trust me when i say this, it smells brillant, better than any showergel will.

I use bar soap because it is less expensive. I can buy a ten pack of ivory soap for 2.99, and it lasts me, literally, a year and a half. (I don't write these things down, I just know because I bought a pack brand new when I moved, and when I had to buy soap again I knew that I hadn't had to buy soap since I moved a year and a half previously!) I feel like shower gel was invented so people would spend more money on washing themselves. It's just like shampoo -- almost always you tip more into your hand then you need, or some slips out of your hand and is wasted. Soap does tend to be more drying than body wash, but I find that the value for money with body wash is so bad that I can't justify buying it with what little money we have coming in right now.

I grew up using bar soap as well and I hated it after I discovered the magic of shower gel! It was so much nicer on the skin and didn't require continuous lathering and foaming as it did with the bar of soap. Unless I was using the soap wrong. Anyways, the shower gel was pretty much idiot proof. You grab a cloth and squirt some of the shower gel on and then scrub, scrub, scrub away! In all ways the shower gel is so much better! I would rather not shower than use bar soap again if it was my only option.

for me, the bar soap is crap because it is unhygienic. all the germs from the previous bath will still be on the bar soap even after bath. i use he shower gel because it is also easier to buy and has more variety of scents than a normal bar soap.it is also easier to store away as it is in a bottle and not as slippery as the bar soap. the only good thin i can say about bar soap is that some are orange which is a great colour and you can actually buy many different bars with different colours and make your bath more interesting by placing them at random and guessing what bar you will pick at random.

I don't recall the last time I bought a bar of soap for use in the bath or shower! It's way back,I know that...It just goes with the Idea of having a shower..it's simply more convenient to have the one product to bring in there with You..

I too prefer shower gel over bar soap. It's just easier in more ways than one and more convenient. I haven't used a bar of soap since I was little.. it's been shower gel for many years now.

haha.. i used to use bar soap when I was kid. i started using shower gel after I study in college.. and then i used bar soap again lately, because my friend said that it was a waste of money using shower gel since it is more expensive than the bar soap.. but actually i prefer to use shower gel because i like to use shower puff when shower..it is more clean than just using bar soap..

I have always used shower gel. It is more efficient than bar soap, it takes less time to use. Also there are more "scents" of shower gel than there is of bar soap, and available "scents" for shower gel can smell good.
