Soap Box

I have the weirdest subject to bring up to readers of my dear blog. I thought of it, quickly dismissed it and then went back to it with genuine interest.

What kind of soap do you use?

(I know it seems silly, but I really got to wondering about it.) Do you have two soaps in the shower, one for the girl and one for the guy, like me? Or have you settled on one that isn't too girly/masculine?

For the past however many years I have insisted on having my own Caress/Oil of Olay soap so that I would have sufficiently girly smelling skin. Not that Dial smells-like-a-doctors-office junk that David likes. But just recently I decided that this was silly (not to mention making two soap crud messes in the shower) and went on a hunt for a happy medium soap. After much deliberation in the Wal-Mart soap aisle and sniffing multiple boxes, I have come to Lever 2000. Pretty good fit, I think.

Tell me what you think.

**I already know that I'm nuts for creating a whole post on this, so you can spare me that comment!**

Update: After taking an informal office survey, I have determined that most marrieds use two different soaps. See, I'm not so weird after all! It has sparked quite the conversation in our little office, though!

Jason uses "Dial for Men" and I use lavender body wash. Oh, we also use different shampoo... in case you were wondering. We have different mouthwash too. Nuts, huh?
And sometimes we use different bathrooms/showers entirely. It helps us stay married. Ha ha.

I'm a liquid soap girl and Jim is bar soap (Irish Spring, no less - ick)kind of guy. We use to have seperate bathrooms and it's was nice! Now we share one. Fortunately it is a big one and everything is cool!

We alternate............Dove (liquid and solid) and Dial....A ginger/orange body lotion gives a nice smell after the shower........
