Back when I was a plebe they put us on a week of “back to basics,” essentially reverting to boot-camp rules: all privileges suspended, room inspections, morning/afternoon PT, etc.
They’d inspect our rooms while we were PTing in the morning. The first morning we came back to find “FAIL” written on the mirror with (one of) our bars of soap. Despite further attempts the next two days we continued to come back to “FAIL.”
Wednesday night we threw the soaps out and got body wash. Thursday morning we passed.
Still a good reminder nearly 20 years later: when faced with a seemingly unsolvable problem, think laterally.

Hand soap comes in small containers but a bit pricy for what it’s worth and how much you’re getting. Buying body wash to use as hand soap is so much cheaper, it lasts longer and since body wash is made to be put all over your body, it’s light on your skin and prevents dryness. A 32fl bottle of suave essentials body wash is 1.99, and it can last 6+ months! Hand soap is less than half that size and 2.50+, and doesn’t even last a month. When the pandemic first started, everyone freaked out about stores running out of hand soap not even realizing that body wash was 100% in stock.

Yeah. It might dry out your skin if you use it very frequently but it’s basically the same stuff.

Yes. The purpose of soap is to wash off germs not to kill them so it will work fine
