I always feel as if soap must be more hygienic than wash as unless you have one of those American automatic dispensers the top of the pump is always being touched by dirty hands!

In reply to Lynn.

You’re so right – and I guess we are more reliant on liquid soap than before because it seems easier somehow for the situations you mention. But nothing beats a lovely scented bar soap right next to the bath or bathroom sink. The L’Occitane Bonne Mere soaps are small (I think smaller than they used to be!) so quite postable. My mum and dad are in Scotland so I know the rules have been strict – I was sending up M&S parcels with scones and biscuits quite regularly because they couldn’t get across the border to their nearest one.

Lovely. I love L’Occitane, and a nice bar of soap, and YOUR soap Jane, but there are things to think about now aren’t there? This comment is actually useless and redundant right now because we can’t visit anyone at all, but I’m going to post it anyway because hopefully it will be relevant again soon. I love a bar of soap, particularly in the bathroom like you, but last year, in the brief period of respite when we could visit other people, even if that was outdoors but able to use the loo (in Scotland we have had very strict Covid restrictions for many many months) I started whipping the soap out of the bathroom if we had people coming round for a garden visit. I would stick it in the bathroom cabinet out of the away and put a spare handwash in it’s place. Towels were also removed and where previously I would have put fresh ones out, instead I put paper towels, and a bin for them. So I guess that I’m saying that even when we can visit again it’s going to be liquid soap and paper towels for day guests, instead of nice soap and towels, and I’m wondering when we will ever do that again? Overnighters, when we can have them, (oh yes please), may have towels, and even a nice soap if they wish, as long as they take it home with them! Haha! Thankfully your Japanese Cleansing Bar is mine and mine alone anyway.
