Maybe try liquid soap? The kind for sensitive skin of course.

This is very interesting. We use bar soap.Which is odd, because I feel the same way you do. New bars are too big for my hands-they shoot away and ricochet off the walls and I spend the whole shower chasing them around. And being my mother's daughter, I insist that a bar be used down to the point that it breaks into little pieces and finally goes down the drain before I break out a new one. It's hard to get a good lather from a soap sliver the size of a toothpick. I like Zest because my roommate used it in college and I thought she smelled really clean (zestfully clean) when she came back from the shower. My mother sent me Dial. It didn't smell as good. I have never used it since. Dan prefers Irish Spring so we alternate. We have two stacks in the closet and we are honorbound not to cheat when we open a new bar. Liquid soap doesn't make me feel as clean. I had a fight with a neighbor once. She takes baths every day. She claims she gets cleaner soaking in the water. I said I got cleaner in the shower because I rinsed off all the dirty water and she was all coated with a sticky residue. Things were never the same between us after that.

I have the answer for you. I really do this time. We use a soap called Tone. It comes out of the box as a rounded shape. And it doesn't dry my delicate buttockal complexion as severely as the standard hygienic chemicals, like Dial or Safeguard or whatever. When the bar gets worked down to a thin knife-edged oval, it usually gets a bit pliable. At shower's-end I'll get the new bar, then press the remnant onto its hollow side like an amphipathic remora. A day later, it's glued on. Continuity. Of course, I just got around to reading jhild's comprehensive and masterful treatise on the subject, and I feel like someone who laughed late at a movie. That's the one downside of a thread like this. When I'm behind fifty messages, I don't know if I'm being redundant.
