Shower Gel or Bar Soap

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 

My husband and I use shower gel - not brand specific.  However, my sister and I were couponing the other week and we bought bar soap that was really cheap.  What do you use?  What are the pros and cons of each?  I haven't used bar soap in years, but am considering using more of it because it's so much cheaper!

I've noticed that bar soap is much cheaper too, but we've all long since switched over to shower gel & all use a bath pouf...it's so easy to use.  Last week Target had Nivea body wash marked down to $3.29 each.  I just happened to see it when i was walking by & i knew i had some coupons for it, so i saved $2 off each.   I used all the $2 off coupons I had.

I use hand-crafted bar soap that a co-worker of mine makes.

We have both.  Everyone chooses what they want to use.

DH and the kids use a bath gel. The little kids is one of those 3 in 1 deals. I personally use my shampoo plus conditioner. My skin gets really dry and itchy and this prevents it. I could use a body wash like Oil of Olay but why spend the extra when my suave 2 in 1 works just a great. Shampoo is ph balanced for skin anyway.

I only buy shower gel if it's a really good deal, otherwise bar soap here.

Plain Dove bar soap.

I actually tend to just wash my body with the shampoo after I get it all lathered up in my hair.

I use Suave shampoo as bubble bath because it is so much cheaper and there are a number of scents.

I never even thought about using a shampoo/conditioner for my skin!  Great idea!  And I just got some on sale the other day!  Thanks!
