Body Wash Vs Bar Soap

Often men think of bathrooms as a place of tranquility peace and some repose. It is a place in your home, which you can call truly your own. You don't have to share its space with anyone. Even your girlfriend will let you lose when you are in a bathroom (not exactly sure of this but let's assume that, shall we?). Bathroom is a place where you get a little peace and quiet, and you let your thoughts drain away with lather and water. Wait a minute, lather and water? Now where did they come from? Are they from body wash or bar soap or even natural soap? Damn these soaps, they make you think (that too in bathroom).

Preferability
Bar soap wins the competition over here, as far as men are concerned. About 80% of men prefer bar soap, but this number is not nearly as high for women. They have started preferring body wash these days. But, for overall population, it seems that people prefer bar soaps more.

Score: Bar soap 1, Body wash 0.

Efficiency
A scientist would tell you that efficiency is output work upon input work. It's an ironic and obvious question, but have to ask anyway, how will you measure efficiency of soaps? The same scientist would answer your question and say, measure how clean you are after your bath. Whether you are clean or not, its solely up to you to decide. Bar soap fares better in that regard, I think. Bar soap cleans the human body much better than body wash.

Cost Incurred
Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Common people have to think about the cost of anything and everything, before they purchase. Even the low-end body wash will cost about 2 bucks for 12 ounce liquid bottle and for the same quantity, that is, 12 ounce of bar soap will cost definitely less than 2 bucks. So bar soap scores again.

Experience
Remember the way bar soaps turns slimy and mushy at the first sight of water? Body wash does not do that, and bathing with it is quite a pleasant experience (no wonder all the girls like it!!). The fragrance and the ease of use is great.

Score: Bar soap 3, Body wash 1.

Ease of Use
Now this point is a little dubious one. Some may feel that bar soap is easier to use, but I feel body soap is much better. The lather is smooth and fragrant. Body wash also has a ticklish feeling.

Score: Bar soap 3, Body wash 2.

To sum up the comparison, bar soap is more preferred, less costly and cleans more; whereas body wash is less icky and easy to use. I hope that you've found above comparison interesting to read as I have found it very interesting to write.
