You use a bar soap bag by placing a bar of soap inside, wetting the bag, and then rubbing the bag to create a lather for washing. The bag also allows you to hang the soap to dry.
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively use a bar soap bag:
- Insert the Soap: Place your bar of soap inside the bag. Most bags have a drawstring or other closure to keep the soap secure.
- Wet the Bag: Thoroughly wet the entire bag with water.
- Create a Lather: Rub the bag between your hands or directly on your skin to generate a rich lather. The texture of the bag helps to exfoliate your skin as you wash. The video reference at the beginning suggests that bar soap bags are a "great way of getting a nice ladder on the soap," presumably meaning a good lather.
- Wash: Use the lathered bag to wash your body as you would with a washcloth or loofah.
- Rinse: Rinse your skin thoroughly with water.
- Hang to Dry: After use, rinse the soap bag and hang it to dry. The bag is designed to allow air to circulate, helping the soap dry quickly and preventing it from becoming mushy. The YouTube transcript indicates that using a bag allows you to "hang up your soap to dry."
Some soap bags are made of soft materials like bamboo, while others are more exfoliating. Choose a bag based on your personal preference and skin type.
