Hi all! I just finished a new travel soap I’m super excited to use!
I bought these little lipstick holder tubes on Amazon, then took a really hard laundry soap recipe, filled a standard loaf mold 2/3 full, and cut the soap into essentially thick matchsticks that barely fit inside each tube. My experience when you’re traveling for a short enough time that you won’t need to do a full laundry, you don’t need much more soap than this for cleaning off a few things or removing stains. The chalkstick shape and sharp edges also help for more forceful cleaning. And lastly, because it’s a square peg in a round hole, most of the soap surfaces won’t touch the walls of the box, so you can put the soap back in wet, and it won’t dissolve or get stuck inside the box!
