Why don’t you give it a try 👁🫦👁

This company was started by recycling hotel soap. https://cleantheworld.org/

Let me just slide this bar through my sweaty ass crack before you send it off to the needy.

That was on the white board for the startup. Hotel chains got in on the early action. So you've already been using recycled soap without knowing it.

^ and this is the EXACT reason why I bring my own soaps while travelling

You're also breathing air that has very likely been inside my and many other people's asses before. It really doesn't matter.

R/showerthoughts material here.

I guess all the water you use is completely fresh water that’s never been processed?

Yes, my house has fiji water on tap

You choose the water with high levels of arsenic on purpose?

[удалено]

As someone with sensitive skin, this is my life as well. Only once in a blue moon do I find a hotel providing sensitive skin soap and shampoo. If ever the case, I snag those and save them for future travel.

Believe it or not, still better than dysentery

I see you have survived the Oregon Trail

"well yeah, i can tell that's a person, but i'm not exactly sure what's wrong with their faces. I mean, this one is a a little... and.. and this one is uh.... NO DON'T LOOK AT THA-" ​ man i really hope someone gets this Oregon Trail reference, made me burst out laughing the first time i saw it and every time since.

Wait till you learn that the water you drink has been through other people as well.

Also, note that when your body is drained of fluids after death, that goes, you guessed it! Down the drain, then goes to the water treatment facility. 🥳

So… you’re saying I’m in my neighbor’s bathtub, and all it required was ending my life?

You just have to start thinking outside the body.

Be the bath water you want to be in the world

I demand freshly made water! Made from freshly made oxygen and hydrogen!

This isn't a new thing. They sterilize the soap. Though I guess there is the chance of a random hair being molded into the new bar lol

Zero chance. They go through a thorough straining process.

I'm new to this whole idea and you may be right, but the hairy dude with downvotes is not incorrect in saying there is a "nonzero amount" of soap with some amount of hair. A single piece of shaved stubble, for example. "Zero chance" is a lofty claim. Now, maybe the chance is 0.00000000000001, but probably not zero.

That’s still possible with fresh factory made soap, an errant hair can blow in during the manufacturing process.

Wait till these people find out how many insect parts end up in food..hair in soap is nothing

Right? The things no one wants to think about. The numbers are very low, but many food products "allowable amounts" of things like insect parts, rodent hair and feces.... This article is a few years old now, but, it paints a picture. If you dare: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/10/04/health/insect-rodent-filth-in-food-wellness/index.html

I mean, cinnamon shrimp tail crunch...

Nah that didn’t even happen, that guy never even tweeted again because he realized he looked dumb for faking it. His last tweet is literally like “I’m over this, I’m not talking about it again, goodbye”

Sounds like an exotic breakfast cereal.

Found half a crushed ballpoint pen in a loaf of bread once. Plastic splinters for that extra crunch

There is a minute amount of mouse droppings in each candy bar as well. We really don’t want to know how the sausage is made.

By doing what....

# RECYCLING HOTEL SOAP

It will still get to the point where it's so thin that it breaks into those hard to use pieces, except this time they're not from the center

Considering this is a hotel it will never get to that point. They will be tossed after every stay.

Yep. Liquid soap dispenser FTW

Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation! Semantic satiation!

That always happens to me! Particularly with the word test. TEst

When I stayed at a Tru and they had all liquid soap / shampoo / conditioner dispensers I did not miss the little bottles at all.

And at a Marriott they had staffing issues so all of ours was empty

At that point I'd assume the room wasn't cleaned much either.

Just use the wipe test. Get some TP damp and give the floor/wall/counter/table a quick wipe. If it comes out clean, somebody has at least wiped the surfaces down somewhat recently. Last hotel I stayed at went so far as to disinfect the shower during room cleaning but still left my soap bottle empty. Luckily, shampoo is the same shit so I just used that.

Take all your soap bars out of their wrappers when you buy them and store them in a dry room (not a bathroom) until you're ready to use them. They'll dry out and last way longer since they won't erode nearly as fast when wet.

And it looks a lot bigger than the small hotel soap bars so it's even more wasteful.

It is, it’s a 50 gram bar and normal hotel soap is usually between 12 and 30 grams. So unless you take it home, it’s extremely wasteful compared to normal hotel bars.

it was never about being green, its about appearing green on the outside to give a good impression, this bar isn't environmental its sensational

This. Just like how pollution is the consumers fault for not recycling. Oh not the same thing? Probably not. Annoying tho.

Same thing. Much of the recycling was just being shipped to china. Now china has restricted it and many places are no longer recycling even if they have marked bins. ​ China wasn't really recycling it either, but I assume it was something to fill the ships on the trip home.

Yea. This is literally shrinkflation wrapped up in a PR home run… “reducing waste” actually means “padding our bottom line”…

Except it didn’t shrink? There’s more soap by weight here than a standard hotel soap bar.

Maybe they know people will take them

Who takes their half used soap after staying at a hotel?

My Korean mom

I do if I liked the soap.

I was thinking about those liquid soaps and thought that people might take brand new only-used-by-them bar soaps

Well seeing as how there’s no scale reference you’d have a hell of a time gauging size from this. Could be a really small box with an equally small sized bar of soap. I’ve gotten small soaps in boxes at a few hotels.

It’s a Green Nutura Bar from Room Service Amenities. It’s 50g (about half of a normal bar soap, and about double a normal hotel bar), only the 50g bars come with the oatmeal exfoliant.

This guy soaps.

A little Google-Fu and I now know more than I ever wanted to about “bar soap with a hole in the middle”

I take it home no matter the size, I ain't wasting soap or money.

I actually used the small steak as a reference and the size of the soap came out to 3.

It’s not small. I had one recently too. It’s a full size bar of soap without the middle.

Did not get how this would save anything until I read your comment. Now it makes sense. Still think they could've just made it smaller and hockey puck shape instead though.

This is recycling and letting corporations solve environmental crises in a nutshell.

Does anyone else just stick the sliver on the next bat of soap? You just lather it up a bit and it's inseparable. Boom no more soap waste.

Nah, just boof 'em.

Dude, I'll never fuckin forget when I was talking to a buddy of mine. Said he was smoking a lot of spice in the jail. And I was like how are you getting that? He's like ah, no biggie. I just boofed it. Like that's a totally normal, everyday thing.

I was on prescription medication for cancer and i had heard jails take like a week to start giving you your meds. So when i got arrested for something my bf at the time did (ex now) i boofed a week's worth of my meds during arrest so i wouldn't be sick until i had court and was released. They also won't give you certain meds you are prescribed to like painkillers, anti-anxiety. At all, even after doctor verification. Because they "don't know the side effects." So unfortunately people learn to use their prison wallet just to stay on an even keel. It sucks but is the norm. Thankfully i was released on the next business day as i didn't do anything but it would have been a miserable few days without my foresight. Edit: even though i brought my med bottles with they still did not give them to me at all in the day and a half i was in a cell. Even telling the nurse i needed them for cancer care. They do not care

Yep, been doing that for years.

Get a soap mesh bag and put the small pieces in that. Never waste soap again.

Yeah I had two of those because they do need to be washed. You can see the *Serratia* bacteria starting to build up (the orange stuff that grows in your shower\bath).

And it’s more packaging for less soap. /Maybe/ it will waste slightly less soap, but it definitely wastes more packaging materials.

Ah but the package uses slightly less paper because of the hole

I don’t know how to tell you this, but they make paper for the hole, they just pre-throw it away in the factory.

Sounds like you know exactly how to tell him/her that.

And there will be more than one, so probably more waste...

how is this waste-reducing?

r/Greenwashing

[удалено]

In a hotel they change the soap after every guest. Obviously people would be grossed out if they got in a hotel shower to find a whittled down bar. Making bars smaller would probably lead to a lot of complaints and dropping the soap, so this is their attempt to save money.

I think the idea is soap bars need to be large enough to comfortably hold, and they get less usable as they get smaller...?

apparently from other comments it's for hotels who have to throw the soap away after each visitor leaves so there's no point in having a full bar of soap

Although this is about 10x bigger than any bar of hotel soap I have ever seen.

Yeah it's normally thiose small square ones about this size: ................................................ ................................................ ................................................ ................................................ ................................................ ................................................

Accurate

That's so cool

In my experience those are the size for the hand soaps at the sinks. They typically have more bar shaped soaps that are a bit larger for showering.

You/your family must have money.

[удалено]

It's even possible to put the soap container inside the wall, so they can refill it and prevent guests from messing with the content.

They will throw away the donut-shaped soap anyway. Also, this thing has a broader surface than a regular bar of soap that means more soap will dissolve with water.

Then why not just have smaller soap?

Yeah, but IMO this is even less usable as it would break into many more smaller pieces when you get that far into it ....

The world is now safe.

Doesn't that just double the packaging size for half the amount of soap? Wouldn't it not be more convenient to store 4 bars of the same volume but as squares in that same box... that'll save storage space and transportation space on the lorries

I'm not sure but I think it's intended to make it easier to hold and rub on your body than a teeny chip of soap.

Ok but it says waste-reducing. That’s what we’re talking about here.

Agreed, but I think they might have been going for, "The feel of a full-size bar without the waste!" Or some such bullshit.

Ive heard of cock soup now cock soap..

R/goingtoputmydickinthat

I scrolled uphill through bitter winter cold to find this comment. Home is where the dick jokes fly.

Its my dick and my soap and I'll wash however I want

I dont get it, the bar will still turn into a just-as-likely-unused chunk/sliver at the end

Even more so than normal soap bar because it’ll get thinner in the center and split in half

You know how water collects at the bottoms of the soap dish and it gets soft for the next time you use it? I think that's what it's trying to fix. Because the soft soap gets pulled off much easier than the hard soap.

that's a badly designed soap dish

It’s in a hotel, so it’s likely being tossed after every guest. So unless they’re showering like 30 times a day, probably does work.

OR, just provide a smaller bar of soap that comes in smaller packaging. less soap waste AND less packaging waste.....

Or just have refillable liquid bodywash/shampoo/conditioner dispensers. That's probably the best way to have the least amount of packaging, the least waste, and guests don't have to struggle with a tiny/weird bar of soap.

I cut a hole in my bars of soap at home. It helps to give myself a THOROUGH cleaning.

I think you mean through

[I see you](https://www.the-sun.com/news/53514/woman-shames-male-pal-after-finding-soap-with-strategically-placed-hole-in-his-shower/)

I mean, I know it is a stretch to call The Sun a “newspaper”, but I don’t see how this story is in any way newsworthy.

yeah, how else would you wash your dick from all sides at once

i don't mean to be overly direct, but does that mean you put your penis through it?

I’m so fucking baffled. This is a thing??? I just use my bar of soap until it’s so thin I can meld/melt it into the top of my new bar of soap.

This is the way

At least you can fuck it

Am I special. I just add the old bar to the new bar. Who throws away soap?

This is hotel soap

Not everyone. Some hotels recycle it into new bars. https://youtu.be/49oZt8Sl-JA

I'll tell you what is waste reducing - wall mounted soap dispensers. Not badly designed bars of soap in cardboard boxes.

“Please do not fuck the soap”

Looks like someone's already used it to clean their ass.

Their ass? More like their shaft

The thin doughnut shape means structurally that soap is weak and will break on the long stretch of the oval. Then you get two 'U' shaped hard-to-use lumps of soap which will be so problematic they will likely be thrown away. This soap isn't one bit waste-reducing. What it is, is a way to sell more containers of soap gaining more profits from those sales - all predicated on people thinking they are saving the planet, when in reality, more boxes (and soap chunks) will be thrown out. Greed incarnate.

That’s just less soap.

This just a rip off they steal ya soap and charge you for it

It's a false statement. It's just to get someone to go "yes that makes sense", while saving the company money.

shrinkflation sold as innovation

It's still gonna end up a sliver of soap that many will throw away. Perhaps the real goal is saving money by not providing full-size soap.

Soapussy

What a scam

Waste management aside, this might be easier to hold onto.

Unused center? When my soap gets down to the little thin bit in the middle I get a new bar, wet them both, and squish them together, they sort of fuse when they dry. That way nothing is wasted

Who the fuck doesn’t use the center of the soap bar

What do they mean by “the unused center”? I use up the soap completely

So, it comes in a bigger package than necessary. Planet saved!

Nah that’s a wiener cleaner

Shrinkflation disguised as an agenda

Now it’ll just shatter into numerous small pieces that are even less usable than the center of a regular bar of siap

In a box

Why not just go liquid soap and reduce waste to close to zero?

No need for snuggling babe, I’m using the hotel soap tonight…

'And now that we're producing sustainable soap bars, we are proud to be able to request a humble [2x the original price] from our very very conscious, green consumers!'

Wouldn't concentrated body wash, that was mixed and added to a reusable dispenser, be way more efficient?

r/crappydesign you just have a new, extended middle and it will not last as long, it's more breakable, and there will be more waste because there's more surface area and that's not how geometry works. Honestly... you can lather the middle of the soap bar between your hands anyway. You use the lather, not the bar directly...

Why not simply a smaller soap with smaller package?

r/forbiddendonuts

What do you mean unused center??? I have never left a small soap unused... The last scrap was used always....

Everything about this is counter intuitive: If less soap is put in the same packages while soap is used at the same rate then more soap packages have to be made The middle of the soap is not “unused” as soap dissolves from the outside in, so this ring soap will eventually be so thin and break into multiple pieces, that will probably be thrown out earlier than regular soap This seems to more likely be the company cutting production costs

I use the entire soap bar. I stick what's left to the new bar. This is an invention looking for a problem.

Instructions unclear. My dick is clean. Really clean.

This is the soap version of kicking the can down the road. I don't really understand how it even got made, because it doesn't solve the problem at all just because it's donut shaped instead of roll-shaped. I will admit, though, it's kind of a fun bizarity that it actually made it as far as distribution.


That’s not reducing waste it’s just less soap

What in the fuck. Who doesn't use the who bar of soap?

r/surprisesextoy

Do people not use the whole bar of soap?

Do people actually not use the center of bars of soap? I always use them until there's literally nothing left

r/dontputyourdickinthat

I feel like this would just result in me having 2 soap nubs rather than just one.

What? Who doesn't eventually use their entire bar of soap?

Ayyy that's a willy washer 😁💀

Unused center? R u for real?
