Hard soap or soft soap for washing your hands

What type of soap is sitting by your bathroom sink and kitchen faucet? Do you prefer a soft soap dispenser or a hard bar of soap to wash your hands?

A soft soap (plastic hand pump) dispenser is currently in my bathroom mainly due to its smaller footprint and more tidy appearance.

My concern is with the amount of wasted soap that goes down the drain. I think it is partly because of using a cheap inferior formulation that clumps more easily and squirts through one's fingers instead of creating lather. I am not concerned about trying to save a few pennies in soap cost, but with the potential load at the sewage treatment plant and making its way into the environment.. at least when compared to using a hard soap. I realize one home has little impact, but if my situation were multiplied it would be like pouring bottles of soap down the drain.

I perfer hard bars of soap that I make for my own personal use.

I currently have a plastic hand pump dispenser in my bathroom. I like hard soaps to, but I prefer the hand pumps.

I like the foaming hand wash, but I prefer bar soaps for the shower.

I don't need to use soap to wash my hands.

I have frequent urination. It's something that older people get.

I rinse my hands every time, and my hands look good even if I got some grease on them from my bicycle chain.

Pump soap. Bar soap for the shower.

Pump soap at the sink. Bar of Lava underneath for work days. Stirling bars in the shower and dopp.

Bars of hard soap for me. Never liked the thick hand-pump liquid soap.

Bathroom: Dial pump - the clear bottle looks good

Kitchen: Dawn foaming

Garage: Fast Orange pumice

We use non bacterial Soft Soap for handwashing.

Hard bar soap for me,

Pump liquid for hand washing mostly. When I refill them I cut them with water as they dispense easier and cuts down on wasted soap as well. My wife thinks I'm nuts but I prefer the thinner consistency and there are little / no drips this way also.

Interesting idea about thinning the liquid soap to improve its performance, though I think the inferior soap I bought might not stand to being thinned.

Before changing brands or going back to hard soap I will try the foaming soap idea...I had positive experience with that in public restrooms.

Bar soaps seem to get my hands cleaner than most pump soaps. It may just be my imagination though.

Try Meyers pump soap for hand washing.

I love MWF in the shower.

Bar soaps cause it's cheaper.

I use a soft soap for handwashing and a bar soap for showering and face/beard cleaning. My favourite brand for bar soaps is called "I Provenzali".

I have liquid soft soap but I mainly use hard soap like Ivory, Kao, Imperial Leather, Yardley, Camay just to name some.

Bar soap for hands........Cetaphyl for facial shaving prep.
