Foaming Soap

I think foam soap is a pretty great invention - right up there with sliced bread and fainting goats. The foaming action seems to create good coverage over the hands and rinses clean without flaw. However, I find I am often betrayed by this foamy mass, when I clasp my hands together to begin the cleansing ritual, only to send a stream of bubbles directly onto my shirt. Now mind you these are soap bubbles, so the situation could be quite worse, but I often go to the bathroom for purposes other than laundry. Please note I am not advocating the removal of foaming soap from bathrooms, as I do think that foaming soap is better than it's thicker non-foaming brother. I am mostly just expressing a frustration with the operator's affinity toward wearing a greater amount of non-clothing material as the day progresses.

  1. I laughed when i saw "Foaming Soap" as your title. this is because a few summers ago, i included foaming soap as one of my pet-peeves in a post on an old blog:

    And i quote:

    "foaming soap--i don't know why, but i don't like it.. even if it's from bath and body works... somehow it doesn't feel as clean as normal soap, because i like to see the soap lather up, not just be foamy from the start..." 6.16.07

    My antipathy towards foaming soap has faded somewhat, primarily because most bathrooms use it and i actually like the texture of it. I have found that i too sometimes end up wearing it, but usually it complements my outfits pretty well.
