What Do You Do With Soap Slivers? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life3 years ago

If you use bar soap, and you get down to that last little sliver of soap, what do you do with it?

Do you attempt to use that tiny little piece of it?

Do you discard it?

Do you save it in a special place with other soap slivers, and then when you have quite the collection, do you mold them into another larger and easily manageable bar of soap? If you do this, what do you do with the soap sliver that it breeds?

Also, while we're here and talking about this sort of thing, do you ever squish up the bar of soap with your hands and try to make shapes with it?

I throw mine away because they get down in the drain and stop it up and then I have to take showers in calf deep dirty water. Also, they don't seem to have the same foaming action when they get so small.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Showers in calf deep water sounds more like a bath with a high faucet, casablynn.

i leave them at the bottom of the bath in the hope that my mom will slip on it and fracture her skull, leaving me with the inheritence.

Oh, I hope that your mum doesn't see this response and banish you from the internet for another five days, xboxboy! She may not understand that you really leave the slivers at the bottom of the bath so that she can more easily wash the bottom of her feet!

LMAO....

I use liquid soap, but Im sure that the slivers would be fun to play with....


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

For me, the liquid soap would be a lot of fun, Calais. So slippery and all that.

Since you had the courtesy to reply to my discussion, I'll ask you what do you do with the last drop of liquid soap that just refuses to come out?


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

...that just refuses to come out no matter how much you pump?


myLot reputation of 97/100. Calais (7038)   ranked 1,026 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

After Im tiring of pumping, I just give up and upturn the thing, so it can just drip out..


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

It's good to hear that you are not wasteful, Calais. I knew you would want every last drop.


myLot reputation of 93/100. xboxboy (1813)   ranked 762 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

why would you ever tire of pumping? surely the last drop will come out if you pump hard enough?


myLot reputation of 98/100. diecaster (391)   ranked 766 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Calais, kindly refer to my response, below, for an application that may fit your desire for entertaining activities with the aforementioned slivers.

And, by the way, it is good to see you.

myLot reputation of 89/100. jtr115 (688)   ranked 3,747 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

When that happens with me, I just unscrew the pump and shake the remaining soap out.

I actually have a couple of soap slivers left in the shower. I use those as backup when I run out of liquid soap until I can buy a new bottle.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Calais (7038)   ranked 1,026 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

oh no, I never waste...lol... But the mushing sounds great and the projectiles even better..There would be a lot of shooting in there..


myLot reputation of 93/100. xboxboy (1813)   ranked 762 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

oh gosh calais! you sound a saucy devil!! i knew an auntie who pumped all night long and always managed to get the last drop!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Calais (7038)   ranked 1,026 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Well persistance pays off...I sometimes can just get frustrated and want the soap then and there at once..


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Persistence does pay off, Calais! I applaud your handiwork!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Calais (7038)   ranked 1,026 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Hey, just had a thought.....Maybe roll them into little balls and have a game of marbles in the shower....

myLot reputation of 86/100. Modestah (7932)   ranked 1,230 out of 37,922 in life  2 years ago

oh I used to love to squish it between my fingers when I was a child, did not understand why mother did not appreciate my artwork - it felt so creamy and good - and besides I WAS getting clean, right? even between my fingers.

but, what I think I liked more than squishing between my fingers was when it fell to the shower stall floor and I got to squish it between my toes. a little better smelling than squishy the cow manure between them, after all!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Calais (7038)   ranked 1,026 out of 37,922 in life  2 years ago

Staying clean is the most important thing, including all those nook and cranny spots....lol..

Being a cheapskate, I used it until it slips down the drain and disappears into the murky soap hell in which it was destined to go. Mind you, I will not make another bar of soap, since the soap I use is quite soft and I also hate the kind my husband uses, so the sooner it disappears down the drain the better.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

So, you use a soft soap, suspenseful? Do you ever squish it between your fingers or make shapes out of it?

After purusing the comment of one interested in matricide and a well known British Sci-Fi character, I hesitate to answer, as my response will not contain a violent flavor.
But, anyway, here goes with a PG rated response:

The slivers may actually be used for recreation, as we always replace with a new bar of soap leaving the sliver behind. (The normal use of the sliver is to "mash" it into the new bar, after one or two uses of the new bar. Smoothness of application is required, or the ridge formed at the junction will curl and become obnoxious in short order.) Recreation, you ask? Well, place the sliver frimly between the thumb and forefinger, and squeeze, whilst taking aim at any of the thousands of bottles, sponges, tubes, etc. that line the rack, shelf, and ledges of our facility. Point values may be given, and timed events are also invigorating. You must use the honor system, as you are in the shower alone. (Usually my shower companion does not appreciate the competition, and room is limited at best.)

If you are good, advance to the use of the feet and the shower floor for the launching of the projectile.

Never was good at gooie soap sculpture. Always seemed to end up with two or three loogie looking things.

myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Ah, diecaster, I am familiar with the 'mashing' the soap sliver into the new bar, and smoothing it in so that there is no way to tell where one soap ends and another begins...sort of like the idea of two people becoming one flesh, eh?

However, I am in awe of your recreation using said slivers. You are to be commended, dear friend. I regret that I have nothing new to add to your response, but you have nearly left me speechless, and, I admit, I need to run to my own showering space and test out this amazing activity. I may be in the shower for some time, as I have just opened a new bar of soap, and so I will need to bathe for a few hours so as to make a new soap sliver.


myLot reputation of 98/100. diecaster (391)   ranked 766 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Transdisc, my dear friend, what an opportunity you have before you!

In an effort to retain the PG rating of my response, I omitted the following: (Warning: rated R for violence!)

A NEW bar of soap presents a projectile that, when launched USING THE PALMS OF THE HANDS, can obtain a velocity and the foot pounds of energy that will create a considerable amount of havoc within the confines of the shower environment! While accuracy is somewhat limited, like a shotgun, aiming in the general direction of the target usually results in at least minor damage, if not total destruction of the target. However, please be warned, it is not advisable to use the foot on floor method of launch with a new bar of soap.

Be careful but have fun!

Children under 12, do not try this at home. I am a professional, and have years of experience, including multiple combat scenarios in sport locker rooms and fraternity houses.

I used to save it up when I was younger, but after having three children the bar of soap seems to dissolve in the bathtub and I am never left with a little sliver. If I am lucky to have a bar left after three kids baths, it is likely to be shaped into a ninja turtle, spiderman, or pony before I get a chance to use it. HEHE


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Your children sound like modern day Michelangelo's, vicki2876. As the wise one who responded above you said, when I attempt to sculpt with soap, the best I can do is make something that looks like it came out of my nose...

When soap gets too small I throw it out, Tannsdisc. Now you might ask what is too small... well when it is about a half an inch thick or less I usually get rid of the bar of soap. I know it is a waste, but I just don't like using small bars of soap. I usually use liquid soap, but my kids like bar soap..and I sometimes use it.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

For me, the soap gets too small when I become afraid that I may lose it on my person, OreoCookie3.;)

Well,we use liquid soap.
Anti bacterial
Its a nice blue liquid soap.
It comes in a nice shaped bottle with a pump.
I think my wife likes pumping on it to extract the precious liquid.
You havent said what you do.
Which soap do you use?
I havent got a clue why we use the liquid type,started using it years ago and have done ever since.
I once bought a pink version of it,but I didnt like it at all.
There is also an orange colored one,and I also think it comes in different scents.
I was going to say flavors,but I dont think that is the correct terminology when speaking about soap.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Scents may be more popular, discodiva, but flavored soaps sure do seem like a good idea.

I usually save up all of my soap slivers and sculpt them in life size replicas of some of history's most famous artists.

If hickusdickus ever sang vigorously in the shower it means he is doing something else vigorously and would be in violation of noise ordinances and obscenity laws.

I used to try to keep the slivers in a special jar with a little bit of water so that I could make my own bars of soap. But no one in the family would even touch the stuff when it was ready, so it all ended up in the trash can. I sometimes try to make "squishy animals" with the leftover softened slivers while I'm taking a shower. I leave them for my hubby to find, but he just doesn't appreciate my artistic abilities, and he throws my artwork away!**sigh**


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 968 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

That is one of the saddest stories I have ever heard, Katlady2! For your husband to throw away your artwork like that causes my heart to weep for you. Might I suggest that you mold these masterpieces around a bit of twine, and give them to him to wear as jewelry that can also be used to bathe himself? I'm sure that he would have more appreciation for your hard work then!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Katlady2 (4460)   ranked 37 out of 37,922 in life  3 years ago

Hey! I like that idea! And then, at work, if he needs to wash off the chemical fertilizer, he won't need to look far for some soap to clean up with! Love it! LOL
