Bar soap is actually a lot better about moisturizing your body now than it used to be. It's also a lot better for the environment and creates a significant less amount of plastic waste than liquid soap. And it tends to last longer than a bottle of liquid soap.

I'm sure you could use shampoo to wash everything. But it does have different moisturizers and oils and additives then soap for your body does. And that can make a significant difference to some people

I buy bulk shower gel, in 5L containers and have used the same 1L gel pump for 3 years so far. Much less waste.

To be fair, I'm a bar soap user....and while the bars are individually wrapped in cardboard, there still is usually plastic overwrap around all of the cardboard boxes of bars.
