I finished pooping and realised my liquid hand soap had run out, so I used a body soap bar to wash them. I had to go outside and use the hand soap in another bathroom to make sure my hands were clean.

Can you use body soap to wash hands properly?

    Fun fact: even washing-up liquid (dish soap) can be used to wash your hands in a pinch.

    I go to the dish soap first if I have anything greasy on my hands. Nothing (that most people already have on hand) works better!

      I always used it after handball practice because it’s the best way to get the “sticky stuff” ( I have no fucking idea what it’s called in english) off your hands. It does suck how much it removes even your natural oils and makes your hands feel dry.

        I don’t know about handball so I don’t know whatever sticky stuff you’re referring to, but residue might be the word you’d want for that

          It’s similar to pine sap and at least in my language we call it sap. It’s used so your hands and the ball get a bit sricky and are easier to grip.

        Interesting. The dish soap I can buy where I live is rather tame. Not as tame as liquid hand soap, but much more tame than bar soap. Like, when I’m washing the dishes, I’ll frequently reach for my bar soap to get greasy stuff clean…
