Some people are still using bath soap to clean their bodies when they take a bath but there are lots who are using body wash, or body splash or whatever it is as long as it is not bath soap. I used both. I have body wash and bath soap. What about you? which do you prefer and what do you think is best to use? just curios!!!

I prefer body wash mainly because it is cleaner people don't touch what your washing with,and I think body wash smells better than a lot of soap.

I use a body wash, bath soap is too drying, and it can be harsh on your skin, and there are some soaps that I'm allergic to, so I think body wash is best to use for me.

I will not allow bar soap in my showers, because of the soap scum on the glass and tiles. I use shower gel which does not leave soap scum. I have a lavender shower gel in both showers, which is suitable for the whole family, and also an unscented moisturising shower gel for those who don't want the lavender.
Shower gel is a little more expensive than bar soaps, but eliminates the use of strong cleaners, so is cheaper in the long run.

I tend to use a bit of both.
but solid soaps are generally better. they are more hygienic (bacteria doesn't breed so easily in a solid soap as it does in a liquid soap. this is why liquid soaps always contain preservatives, but solids don't) and packaging free.

Hello Bebs,
I can use both. It depends on what is available.
I have soap at home, my husband uses it also.
I also have an available body wash now, I am just waiting so the soap will be used up.
Take care and have fun myLotting red_amethyst

Hi,
I never use soap for my shower. I prefer to use
bodywash.It is much more convenience and clean in
a way.
Because soap is tend to have soft texture after contacting
with water,as for bodywash,it is store in the pump
container and I just need to pump out some to my palm to clean
my body and it has more bubbles.
