Soap question

[Rakkasan]

After your fiance / wife moved into your home did you need to switch from bar soap to liquid soap in the shower? All of the hotels in China as well as Zhens home use the liquid soap. Since I am in the beginning stages of preparing my home for Zhens eventual arrival I am wondering if after I finish with the kitchen gadgets if I should purchase a liquid soap dispenser for the shower. What has been the experience of those with wives in country already?

No one told me I had to change shower soap!

You may not have to change. It will all depend on who is training whom. or is it whom is training who. or who and who, or whom and whom. If you are the one training your wife you can rest easy, otherwise be prepared for to give up the soap.

Nope ... we use gold color Dial, same soap I'm using for 40+ years.

 

My ex decided she didn't like Dial so we had 2 soaps in the shower for maybe 15 years ... different ball game with Lao Po.

Yes - and they expect tooth brushes with the bristles on the back, light switches with push buttons instead of the flip handle, "H" stands for cold, and "C" for hot so your faucet handles have to be reversed, . . .

We have liquid soap everywhere, also bar soap for the shower. I don't know which she uses.

Trader Joe's bar soaps for the showers.

 

Just be ready for a couple of showers daily, Patrick.

We have both liquid and bar, and she uses the bar soap.

So now you know why I had my meltdown just before she arrived !

 

We also have liquid and and bar soap everywhere. She had the same

in China and now it's no different, she buys what she needs.

What amazes me is after the shower. I don't know how she dries off without using a towel? There is another thread about this whole towel issue. I have tried to get her to use the big white fluffy towels in the hotels. "No" she says and comes out dry anyway.

 

Sorry got off OP a little - but still related.

I understand, Zhen travel with her own small yellow towel for drying after a shower at the hotel. I guess at 5'1" and 94 pounds it doesn't take much of a towel to get her dry.

I use bar soap my wife uses bath gel. No big deal. I think the big fluffy towel thing may have something to do with most of our sweethearts coming from a humid climate. A big fluffy towell holds more water and since it is so humid in some parts of China it never really gets very dry and the towell gets that musty mildew smell. When my wife first came here she used thin towels she brought from China. Now she likes the big fluffy ones.

I don't mean to get off the main topic, but all these "shower" things are related.

 

Another thing my SO does: she leaves the shower curtains "outside" the tub and the floor gets wet. I shower and put the curtains inside where they belong. The next time she showers, she puts the curtain outside again. I try to explain it to her and she, being the wonderful, stubborn woman that she is, says, "no, outside." Who am I to argue?

Lao po uses soap?

 

 

Yes! Liquid soap, gel soap, bar soap, hand soap, face soap, hair soap, and clothes soap (bathroom related)!

 

Can't be too clean.
