which soap cleans better?

cake

Yep when you use a bar of soap it feels as if you are cleaning properly. Liquid soap just feels soft and smells good.

Neutrogena body wash

liquid

I like to work liquid soap up into a thick lather with my bath puff (which cost approx. 37 baht).

i wash my delicate parts with dove cake soap then the rest with body wash
liquid soap. always wash your feet

Aren't most bar soaps made with animal fat? I think a few are made with glycerin instead though (like the clear ones).

Not really crazy about liquid soap in the shower, but I like it at the sink because bar soap looks nasty when it sits there for days half used.

Both

Gimme a bar of soap. Seems like liquid soap runs out too fast.

I use dr.bronner liquid soap. Myabe I shouldnt cause it films up the entire shower in one wash.

Whichever is harder to get off of your hands (typically bar soap). The purpose of most (non-antibacterial) soap is to break down oils and lubricate dirt and bacteria so they slide off easier. But the most important part of washing is rubbing your skin under running water, and soap that is harder to rinse off will encourage you to do that longer.

That's why those foam soaps aren't good.

Anti-bacterial soaps do have some effect just sitting on your skin, but it takes 10 mintues of contact time with anti-bacterials to truly disinfect a surface, and otherwise you are just running a antibacterial-resistant breeding program for bacteria (weeding out the week ones so the strong can replicate). Don't bother.

Liquid, except it runs out too damn fast.

I use both too.....most of the time it's body wash though.

liquid flushes more easily when the kids toss it in the toilet

i use both as well.

If you want to get clean use liquid soap. Bar or cake soap is a breeding ground for bacteria. Think about it, you wash your hands and body with cake soap and the dirt and grim stays in the cake soap. Sounds a little gross if you ask me.

nothing wrong with a little bacteria!
