  I like these too, do people still use this?

  Apparently, soap like this and warm water work best against covid for washing your hands as they physically destroy the virus.

    unless the soap is mostly alcohol. I don't think it kills any virus

      Soap and thorough hand washing is effective against lipid membranes

      Because the soap molecules are so similar to the ones making up the outer layer of the virus, the molecules in the lipid bilayer are as strongly attracted to soap molecules as they are to each other.

      This disrupts the neatly-ordered shell around the virus, dissolving it in the running water and killing the virus.

      I thought it was just effective at getting it off your hands, turns out it does destroy it.

  Do ppl actually still use soap sticks instead of liquid soap/ body wash these days.

    Yes I do. My kids have also switched from body wash to soap bars.

    I find them more efficient and takes less space not to mention usually no or very little plastic packaging.

    I do. Soap bars can also be more economical.
    Liquid soap = dilute soap with water, sell for more moola -> feels like a scam to me :)

      I love this soap but I must say it gets used too fast in water. I can't say what's science behind it but I would like it to last a few more days.

      Liquid soap = dilute soap with water

      That's not quite true.

      Solid soap and liquor soaps are chemically very different.

        Where can I find these liquor soaps? Asking for a friend.

          When they have drunk to much the vomit is bubbly and entraining.

        true, but chemically not that different if they are both soaps.

    I never use liquid soap, it is too complicated for me.

    Too expensive and too much waste and too much of a faff with liquid soaps.
