rebeccajo99 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Wash cloth or no wash cloth (rubbing bar on body)...I was talking to a friend of mine and she was asking how my latest test on a goats milk soap was going. Told her that it appears that I have my bar lasting about 3 weeks (based on consumption calculations). She said that soulds really good since that is how long her husbands Dial lasts.We got talking about where her husband keeps his bar and stuff like that. The only difference we have found was that her husband uses a washcloth and I don't... So we were trying to figure out what would acutally use a bar of soap faster.Has anybody tested out this theory? Should that be something I should be testing for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni S. Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) I use a washcloth and my DH doesn't and he goes through two bars to my one!(SORRY - didn't realize until I was done that you were talking about M&P cuz I make CP!!)

rebeccajo99 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Thanks ToniI think a washcloth would affect all types of soap the same... wouldn't you think? I just put it in m&p since that is what i'm doing nowThanks for your imput Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitn Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 My cp soap lasts about 6 weeks at the sink , no washcloth . I never thought about a cloth using more of it , but it makes sense that it would . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 The hardness of the bar will affect how long it lasts. I had an "OPPS" batch of MP a while ago that for some reason came out really soft (I think maybe I mis-measured my glycerin). Otherwise it was fine, got sudsy, left you feeling soft, etc... it was just SOFT. My mom is a total glutton for just about any soap I make and snagged a couple of bars of it for herself, she loved that it was such a soft bar but was upset at how fast she used it up.

rebeccajo99 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 I can see how that would happen. Thanks for your imput on this. I am having so much fun testing this stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
