Which do you prefer? I like bar soap for the shower and at the bathroom sink for washing up at night. At the kitchen sink I like my antibaterial liquid soap. I wash my hands alot during the day and always like the antibaterial for that.

I have MS so I have to be very careful with germs and wash my hands a lot. I like the liquid soap the best. The bar soap when it gets to soapy can slip out of your hand. To me the liquid soap is easier to use and kills the germs more and is safer.

We use liquid soap in the shower and at our sinks. It's more convient I guess. We have the foaming soap in the bathroom sink and the kitchen sink. It really saves on the amount of soap that you use - and that the kids waste... LOL

In the shower, it's bar soap. If not the kids would have it gone in 1 day. At the bathroom sink we use liquid anti-bacterial soap. And in the kitchen I just have my anti-bacterial dish soap. I use that when working with food in the kitchen as well.

I prefer liquid. Bar soap gets to much stuff stuck to it. Plus it leaves soap scum everywhere.

I normally use bar soap to wash my face and body, and liquid soap to wash my hands at the sink and to clean my piercings. The bar soap that I use is handmade by a friend from back home, and it has really improved the skin on my face. So I won't switch to anything else for washing my face! :) I will sometimes use bath gel in the shower to wash my body, if I want to use one of my exfoliating scrubbers.

I use liquid soaps for both bathing and washing the dishes but I keep ornamental bar soaps for the toilet.

I use both bar soap and shower gels in the shower and antibacterial liquid soap at my sinks. I think it's just easier to have the pump bottles by the sinks...more of a chance the boys will use it then too!LOL!

I'm more used to bar soap when I'm at home, especially for bathing. But I prefer liquid soap when I go out or for work. They are very handy especially to put in your bag. Unlike bar soap which are not easy to carry around. And quite messy too. (^^,)

I prefer the liquid soap because its easier. I do buy bar soap for my children to use in the bath , they like the kiddy kind that they can draw on themselves with.

I use liquid soaps for the kitchen, bathroom and shower, because I detest the slimy mess that bar soaps can make. I also can't stand looking at a bar of soap that someone has left dirty. The only bar I use is a fine-milled facial cleansing bar, and it's kept in a special container up on a shelf out of the reach of the water in the shower. That way the soap doesn't get all soft and icky.

I like the liquid soap does not leave a mess on the sink or on the tub like the bar does we don't use the bar soap unless we are on vacation or somewhere other then the house.

For bathing and shower, i prefer to use the bar soap. In fact I use only the bar soap for that purpose...As a hand wash before meals, i use the liquid soap. The liquid soap smells beautiful, i like the smell a lot...

I have liquid soaps at all the sinks in our house. I prefer them because when we have the bar soaps, it tends to get unsightly and yucky looking and the liquid soap keeps things looking neat. In the shower, we have bar soap and body washes. I tend to use the body washes in the shower while my husband much prefers the bar soap

For my shower, sometimes I use the Crabtree and Evelyn shower gel.. but use it sparingly because I think bar soaps are more economical. Shower gels are usually for the times I don't have to rush or indulge myself to a little special treatment. But at the kitchen sinks, we usually have an antibacterial liquid soap as well.. nothing beats that when you're done taking it out the trash or coming home from an outing.. :)

I like Crabtree and Evelyn also. But it's expensive so I only buy it once in awhile. It's a nice treat.
