10. How long can a bar of soap last?
If you bathe several times a day and use the soap during every bath, each bar will last you approximately 2 months. This comes to about 30sen/day for something which is so safe and good for the skin. If you just use it once a day, then a bar can last for several months. This boils down to only a few sens per day. If you use the soap to wash your hands, it can last 3 -4 months. It would however be a waste to just use such good soap on your hands.
11. Why do soaps always become soft and slimy after some time of usage?
This is the case only when the soap is in constant contact or immersed in water. Our soap comes in a gauze bag. Once you unwrap the soap from the paper covering, put the soap back into the gauze bag. It can be used together when bathing as a soap and scourer. After bathing, hang the pouch away from the shower using a hook. The clip on suction hook can be purchased from any hardware shop. If you do not like the gauze, then you can leave in a soap holder with holes so that excess water can be drained. Always store them as dry as possible in between usage
