I finished pooping and realised my liquid hand soap had run out, so I used a body soap bar to wash them. I had to go outside and use the hand soap in another bathroom to make sure my hands were clean.

Can you use body soap to wash hands properly?

    Fun fact: even washing-up liquid (dish soap) can be used to wash your hands in a pinch.

    I go to the dish soap first if I have anything greasy on my hands. Nothing (that most people already have on hand) works better!

      I always used it after handball practice because it’s the best way to get the “sticky stuff” ( I have no fucking idea what it’s called in english) off your hands. It does suck how much it removes even your natural oils and makes your hands feel dry.

        I don’t know about handball so I don’t know whatever sticky stuff you’re referring to, but residue might be the word you’d want for that
