Time to take a POLL!

I am stuck thinking that I've always been told to use water based products and I am wondering what one uses to make a sterile water based product.

I once read in a "make your own" book, can't remember which one....and they listed, i believe, coconut oil, but only for those who don't use latex "products."

I got stuck on personal lubricant...

Does anybody else see the irony of getting STUCK on personal LUBRICANT? Roflmao!

5 bars in the shower
1 bar of rematches coffee soap at the kitchen sink
3 proudly displayed my my office
1 bowl of nubs and misfits in the bedroom like potpourri

I've got 8 bars & 1 bar of shampoo soap in our master bathroom shower. I've got 2 bars on the edge of our master bathtub. 1 tube of peppermint chocolate tooth soap, 1 container of CP sugar scrubs and cleansing oil on our master bathroom counter.
5 bars & 2 bars of shampoo soap in our kids' bathroom. 1 facial/acne soap for my oldest daughter. 4 tubes of chocolate tooth soap (each kid has their own), 1 container of CP sugar scrubs.
We also have handmade toilet bowl fizzies, laundry soap and that's all I can think of for "cleansing" products. We've got tons of handmade lotion, balms, butters, perfumes, lip scrubs, etc.

Oh Man I got 4 of my bars in the main shower that my kids use. A shampoo bar and 3 regular bars in my bathroom as well at two different types of conditioner. I'm experimenting with them. I have a basket of fizzy bath melts next to my tub. 3 bars at the kitchen sink and 2 in the guest bathroom. I love reading this thread.... It makes me feel better knowing I am not alone with all the soap everywhere. Thanks.

"We also have handmade toilet bowl fizzies"

You have my attention! Like a bath bomb for toilet cleaning? Genius!

"...We also have handmade toilet bowl fizzies

How cool would that be?!?!
Genny, will we be able to find the How-To for this in the recipe section?

/wait...I'll go look...

 

[houseofwool]

I seriously hate cleaning the toilet and would love to give this job to my 10 year old, but I don't really want him handling chemicals...

I have 1 bar of soap in the bathroom. liquid soap and hand sanitizer by the sink. Whipped butter make up remover and a sugar scrub for my face.

I had a good laugh at this.

So am I the only one here that makes her personal lubricant, or am I just the only one that will admit to it? By the way, it is being tested by several couples, and it is wonderful stuff.

Like being tested in a group?
Are you a swinger? :eh:

DON'T ANSWER THAT! TMI!! TMI!!!

And no, you are not the only one... :wave:

p.s. Genny, where's the toilet bowl bomb fizzie recipe???

 

[Mildreds.naturals]

Homemade soft scrub? Hmmmmm....does it work reasonably well?
Add that one to the To-Do Bucket List and thanks cuz I'm stealing your secret!

wait.. coconut oil? or coconut oil based liquid soap? I"ve made a soft scrub from a castile base i've made and mixed with baking soda. a little orange oil for grease cutting and smell is nice too

 

[Genny]

p.s. Genny, where's the toilet bowl bomb fizzie recipe???

Just a basic bath bomb (1 part citric acid to 2 parts baking soda, held together with witch hazel) with lemon & orange eo in it.

Just drop it in your toilet, let it fizz & sit for a minute or so, swish with your toilet bowl brush & flush. The bath bombs I made were about 2 oz & they worked good.

 

[houseofwool]

So simple. I'm going to have to try those.

 

[SudsyPM]

I don't feel so bad now. I have 4 bars of homemade CP, 4 bars of MP and 6 misc I've got lined up to check out from other folks. Can someone please tell me where the find a multi bar soap dish?

One thing I've decided to do is start cutting 1/4 bar "tester" bars so my shower isn't overrun with full bars.

 

[soapsydaisy]

I only have 5 in my shower right now but I recently painted the bathroom and threw away some older, smaller bars.
