I have been using it for about 5 months and I've figured out some ways to keep the soap longer. Being a college student in a community dorm, I have to put the bar of soap in a Ziplock bag, but when I'm finished using the soap, I wring out all the water from the bag and keep it open. This lets the soap dry until the next use. One thing I love about their soaps is that they lather VERY well. Go over your body with the bar of soap once, then put the soap away. Lather what is left of the soap on your body and it will cover everything with suds. I even noticed that when I used that trick the smell of the soap stays longer when I'm done showering.
I've bought from them a few times now and love the products. It takes about a week for my shipments show up. I've also noticed I don't get attacked by mosquitoes anymore since I've started using Dr squatch products, not sure if it's just me but it sure is nice.
I’ve been using Dr Squatch for about a year now. I didn’t really payed attention (probably because I wasn’t getting bit so I wasn’t thinking about it) but now that you mention it I don’t remember getting assaulted by mosquitoes like I usually did during the summer. 🙌
If you take your soap out of the shower after using it and put it on the soap saver and use a loofah or a wash cloth your soap will last much longer even up to a month if you make sure to keep it out of the water as long much as possible while washing with it
I bought the soap saver and they are awful. Soap fuses to them (I have two) and it can be extremely hard to remove. One time It chipped the wood under the soap it was so attached. The green gripper is awesome. Now I turn the soap green gripper side down and place it on the wood soap saver. I use 2 bars depending on how much or no exfoliating I want that day. They seem to last me a fair amount of time.
You have to do the same with Lush's soap, and they even recommend it. So I think they should offer one on the website since they are all about organic soap, but I digress. Just get a soap saver
A trick I learned from my grandparents - Open up the soap package and let it finish curing. If you have the time, let it sit out for about a week and it will last longer. Also as others have mentioned try making sure the soap can dry out between uses.
Lasts a week? Are you showering right? Are you storing the soap correctly? You can’t keep all natural soap wet, it has to dry off to preserve it due to the natural ingredients breaking down overtime. If you’re standing under the water while you lather you are rinsing off the soap faster than you can use it. Turn the water off as you lather to get more bang for your buck. You also don’t need to use a lot of the soap, just a little rub here and there and the lather will spread. Mine lasts a couple months and I shower daily. But I guess to each their own 🤷♂️
Define “showering right?” Lol I shower the same way many of us do I imagine. Of course I keep the bar dry as possible and on a soap saver. Your comment does make me realize something. People may use more or less soap depending on how their size….
I wish I could post some photo comments.. I've been using squatch for basically the last 6 months also.. plenty of tips to actually help the longevity of your bars..I used the 3 that came in the starter bundle for 3 months.. still have a half bar of each 3..
Dude you literally freaked me out! When you posted the question "What did i learn?" and you did that motion and facial expression i thought you meant that the soap made you bald. Phew i need some breathing exercises now...
It doesn't matter how you slice it,(lol) they should last longer for $10 a bar. It's good soap, some of the best I've tried. But it needs to improve on that or lower the price to maybe $6 a bar. Duke Cannon is around that price and it lasts a lot longer.
@@SomethingThatSCREAMS use a dry hand cloth after using the soap to keep it dry and place down on dry porcelain sink so noting will be absorbed out of it, say like wood does or a wet soap holder God Bless
I've been using this soap for several months now, have yet to see a bar disappear in a week. If you're lathering up several times in one shower, I can see why it'll go fast. I like their scents far better than most other brands I've tried and even the packaging is something I really like. As for the shipping, I wait about a week each time. They have small selections available at Walmart and Target (that I've seen so far) so you don't have to wait any longer than a trip to the store for some but I've yet to see my preferred choices in stock. The bars are $7 a pop unless you subscribe and you get a small discount.
I don't know how this guy only got his soap to last a week. I cut the bars in half so I can use half a bar of soap before switching to another scent and that half bar lasts me 10 days with me showering every day, and sometimes twice. I call BS on the whole bar lasting a week thing
No you’re not. A balanced diet and moisturizing after showering does the trick. And there’s 24 hours in a day. Showering twice a day is critical, especially if that day involves gym, sports, etc. Don’t be the “stank dude”.
@@TASconfidential Its actually pretty harmful to your skins natural oils to do that. Your skin isn't meant to be lathered with hot water and soap twice a day. But hey if it works for you good on you, but yeah I also agree with days that involve sports, when I know I have sports I usually just hold off until after I'm done to shower. But to each their own.
Not true. I typically shower 2, sometimes 3 times if I jump in the shower a few times a week with my wife just for fun, but I still wash. Maybe nasty chemical soaps will "ruin your skin", but not squatch. I've been using squatch exclusively for over a year now (started my subscription June 2020), and my skin, hair, and beard are better than ever.
I shower 1 to 2 times a day depending on the day. I usually get my orders within a week. 2 weeks tops. I just always order my new batch when I start using my last bar. Use the soap savers and a bar should last about a month
You need the soap saver to last a month on the pine bar saver. Mine always lasts a month or more and my wife and I have used it and a lot of compliments I get from wearing it.
For soap longevity , I recommend using a wash cloth, and putting the soap bar right back into the box after you lather the wash cloth with it. Your soap will last so much longer then a week
-Yeah I recommend this as well. Personal Experience: I only used my bar on sensitive areas where skin needs extra treatment n it only lasted me a week.
Ye I agree I tried to use it how they show in the ads & wash wit the bar but personally it doesn’t seem like it’d get me as clean & the lather isn’t as good, plus it’s too hard to hold
I recommend cutting them into 3s and rotating ever shower. Sure you’ll forget but it’s absolutely worth it especially if your all nuts about a soap price😅
I hate to be the bearer of great news but here it is. 1. Dont shower with the ENTIRE BAR OF SOAP, when you go into war you dont take the entire armory, you take the essentials M18 with a m1911 and frag grenades. 2. Cut the bar of soap in half man, save the rest for later. 3. Use a loofah, dont get the soap under the running water, what you wanna do is wet your hands then grab the soap and then rub the soap against the loofah making a nice lather. 4. Once you get a nice lather carefully place the soap somewhere where water isnt going to splash it, definetly not underneath the dam faucet, if you so mich as nick the soap under the shower water it will wear away 2% gaster for every 10 seconds under the water. 5. For a full wash you will need to re apply the soap methood on the loofah 3 times but that is ok because that loofah methood is 72%% more efficient then taking the entire bar of soap with you. 6. Profit and laugh in the face of Dr. Squatch
Great points here! couple follow ups... 1. True- Though you wouldn't need the entire armory if you had the perfect weapon from which would assure your victory the first time. 2. This one is clever I will admit that! 3. Personally I'm not a loofah guy, tried it once and it wasn't pretty. That being said I know loofahs are great for many people. It's all about preference and individual functionality. 4. Is there a linear correlation on the math? Like only 1% reduction for each 5 seconds under water? asking for a friend lol 5.Does each of the 3 re applications equal a third of the body each time? If feel like the answer is yes here...lol 6. I do like profits! Thank you for your great comment! and thank you for watching!
@@BaldandStrong the loofah is what spreads around the soap real nicely thats the trick to saving the soap, once you rub the soap on the loofah the part that xame off the soap isnt wasted, instead its actually applied evenly through the loofah into your body and yes i noticed if you do that 3 times its usually enough to get all your body, half the bar usually can last me 2 weeks in this case 1 month for an entire bar now thats what i call gains 💪
The bars last like over a month for me you really don't need that much for your whole body. go along your limbs once, circle once on your butt and torso, and one stripe on the back of your shoulders, then just lather to spread. It's not the product it's you. don't use the whole bar to scrub everywhere.
Got mine from Walmart and it lasted me three days and shattered into a million pieces when I dropped it. I love the smell and the sand texture of the pine tar... the only one I've tried but $8 a bar too much for three washes such fragile bars... hope they fix that and I can't understand why you are the only reviewer who said anything about how fast the bars go
There is actually a couple stores where I live called “Get socked up” which is a store that sells mainly unique looking socks but they also sell a very wide variety of Dr. Squatch products. I like it a lot more when i buy them in person because it gives you a chance to smell the products before you buy them.
actually the shipping slip you get tells you the average amount of time your soap will last. to make it last longer get a soap saver (and a gripper if you want) to fully aerate the soap
Something to note...it’s soap with nature found ingredients, it’s not gonna last as long in water as the soaps made with chemical ingredients, in fact some of the ingredients in said Chem Soaps make them last longer, yet also make them unsafe for the chemistry of our bodies, there are pros and cons with everything, everything’s gonna be a trade off, “natural soaps” clean with less chemically harmful ingredients yet are more costly and don’t last long when sitting in water, while “synthetic soaps” last longer, are cheaper, yet contain some biologically unsafe ingredients...a fix for the water issue i can say is by getting a soap holder that allows water to drip off it(which is provided/offered by Dr Squatch on their website), or drying it off with a towel
Thank you for the insight! I was looking forward to buying their products but what he said in the video scared me a little, I am not scared to throw $25 price of their soap holder if it means my soap last a longer time, so again thank for the advice!
I would disagree, I had some of their soap really early on that was Harder and lasted much longer. They apparently changed recipes, they added oats for one.
If synthetic soaps introduced chemicals to your body that are harmful, the FDA would not let them hit the shelves because that means they are potentially dangerous, especially to children. "Chemicals" is a buzzword used to scare people into buying a product, and the chemicals used in synthetic soaps are for scents, preservation and killing off bacteria just like hand sanitizer would. And yet you don't see people remarking about the hand sanitizer they love to use. That's what nobody tells you because it's bad for the branding of natural products, not only that but they're obsolete. Dr. Squatch is vague about "chemicals" but fails to mention what the chemicals are because it's potentially bad for business. It's like a gypsy scam artist selling you a crystal for "good energy" while explaining that modern medicine introduces toxins to your body. Toxins is another buzzword that doesn't mean anything in that specific context, because anything quantifiable that shows side effects can potentially be toxic to your body in excess, but people don't know any better so it sells because they become afraid. It's an underhanded and dishonest tactic to garner more interest and cash flow.
Shower once a day without over lathering and the bar of soap will absolutely last you longer than a week. Also keeping the bar on a rack after your done using it makes it last even longer as continuous contact with water makes it get soft faster.
I'm loving it, but I am noticing the bar is disappearing rather fast. I assume it's because they have on 5 ingredients that are highly soluble. Other soaps likely have binders and lathering agents that increase the longevity. TBH my biggest complaint is that the alpine sage fragrance, which smells amazing, has lavender in it (which I'm allergic to). However I mentioned this to them and they apologized heavily and immediately sent me a different scent. I'm going to stick by them a while longer because the scents smell amazing and the the soap does a lot for my sensitive skin.
1. Don’t leave cold pressed soap inside the bathroom when you’re done ever! Don’t let water hit it! Only use on a rag or loofah and then put it in a dry spot away from the water preferably outside the shower itself. 2. Dr squatch is the highest price cold press soap I’ve also heard the smell doesn’t last and that the website takes forever. 3. Just buy it at target. I know they don’t have a lot of variety but oh well it’s only 6 bucks a bar there 4. Try other brands! 5. I’m sure everyone has told you all of this over the last three years
I complained about how long the soap lasts when I first started using Squatch. I actually wend on amazon and bought a soap shelf for my shower that is far away from the direct flow of water, and is able to dry on all sides between uses. I only shower once a day of course, but these bars are stretching about 2 weeks for me now. If you're looking for comparable soaps with a WAY larger selection, cheaper price, and better shipping windows, I suggest "The Soap Guy". And they last a bit more than squatch. Only catch is, order minimums are 12 bars. So that's around $40 after shipping. So that's more than DOUBLE the soap for the same price. I still love squatch though. Bay Rum is too good to completely break up with them, and I've completely switched to their deodorant. It's expensive, but its too good
Its the same soap. I think they get a few scents from bulk apothecary too now, but its just figuring out which scent is called what by dr squatch. I think soap guy just sends em bulk orders as soon as theyre cut, and squatch sends it out without curing it first.
What they don’t tell you is that this is a cold car soap. If you keep it in a steamy shower you will melt it faster. Use it in the shower then keep it in a cool spot, don’t let it sit in the shower as you steam up the place for 20 mins
I like the soap but too expensive. It's all from the soap guy who has many more scents. The ones he doesn't sell you can find on bulk apothecary. All for a fraction of the price. $7 a bar is way too expensive.
Their shipping and response time were trash even in 2013 when they first started and when you first start a company that’s understandable 10 years later, it still takes them forever
If you shower 2 times a day than the soap isn’t drying out between uses and that will make it disappear faster. If you want truly natural soap this happens- I’d suggest having 2 bars going and alternating them use 1 in the morning and 1 at night! Just a thought- I’m a soap maker 😊
I started using their product 1 week ago and so far all good. I primarily bought it for the deodorant, as others would cause stains and bad smell over time. I received my shipment in 1 weeks' time and I live in Canada. Also, the soap is not really shrinking yet so I do not know how you use it but I do make sure to try and just pass it on my skin after I have soaked it to quickly stop using it, as I had heard about this from other reviews. But again, so far the soap is pretty much as I bought it. Try to make sure no more water makes contact with the soap after use.
I do agree on the shipping part of receiving your order and I also agree on the longevity part of as well but I personally absolutely love their products.
Wow!! I believe it sadly, one order I placed, didn't actually ship out for a week! For any company, with the product in stock, that kind of turn around time is terrible.
I did some bootleg squatch science and came up with these numbers (All of these are with the soap saver) Using the bar normally - 8-10 showers Cut in half 10 -13 showers With a washcloth - about 30-40 showers With a loofah - about 60 showers So they can last long however you lose the experience of actually using the bar.
I used their product for about 2 year. I joined because of the hype honestly me and my wife wanted to live a “healthier” environment by buying greener and natural products. The Doc was great but expensive and shipping sucked over time. We didn’t get our product for about 2 months one time and their way of apologizing was giving us a 20% discount. We calmed down about the whole “must be living a greener life “ and I went back to washing with Axe after seeing they are using planet base ingredients. It isn’t a big deal like how the ads making it out to be.
Bru dermatologist literally say you should only shower 2 to 3 times a week let's say 3 ok so that means alot of these people are overshowering like you shouldn't be showering 2 times a day so these bars sound just fine if I'm gonna be honest
With my current job, I get chemicals and sweat plus water all over me. I can see how someone who just even works out a little, might want the 2 x a day option. It is not unusual, it just depends on if you are getting sweat or anything else on you during that day.
Dr. squatch is now in walmart with the organic/"natural" body products, mostly just pine tar but it's a start! I found with the soap is you CANNOT let it sit in water or it will disappear so fast. I put mine in a ziplock bag and thread it through my wire hanging shower caddy upside down with it open, so like the soap is what keeps it from going through the bars and the upside-down open ziplock allows for the water to not hit it/run out of the bag. I also cut the bars in half and only use part of it at a time. DUDE I LOVE their deodorant, is amazing. It works better for me than axe or oldspice, but it is THICK and can get on clothes.
With the soap saver and the use of a loofa I’m at two weeks on my current bar and I’m not even at the halfway mark with it. I’ve used about 1/4 of the bar....people just don’t realize you don’t need a lot of this soap. Just a little makes a huge lather on a rag or a loofa.
@@BaldandStrong duke cannon is garbage and gets squishy just like any other soap. They also don't use all natural ingredients and an unfriendly sodium when they cook their soap to form. Bigger doesn't mean better. If you're a shower twice a day fanatic loon then any normal sized soap will be gone in a week.
NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!!! I have been a Squatch subscriber for three years and I’ve loved every minute of it and everybody that I’ve given my extra bars to because I don’t even go through one in a month although I shower every day has loved it as well!!!
I've been using their products for just about a year now and I love them. The only real complaint I have is that the scents don't last on my skin for nearly as long as the ads make it seem. Other than that I don't see me switching to anything else any time soon.
@@DocImpossible which ones exactly? Pine tar seems to last me awhile, but eventually I can't smell it anymore. But I think I may just be getting used to the smell because my girlfriend says she can smell it even at the end of the day.
Dud, mine last me almost a month, it has also completely stopped my eczema out breaks, which has saved me a hell of a lot of money when you consider Dr. appointments and creams and lotions they proscribed.. As for shipping, it has never taken more than 7 days to receive my free shipping option. Your inability to plan is not a problem with the shipper, it is your inability to plan.
I dig this video! Glad to see you not just tearing them down---and I am taking into account the time and year. I have been using Squatch for two years----and I must say that I buy three bars a month (subbed) and it is pretty good to use them in lukewarm water with a sponge or loofah What's your favorite scent so far? I like the Bar Of the Dead (vanilla bean) or Spearmint Basil.
I always cut my bars in 4 equal pieces and Each piece lasts about 5-7 days. It allows me to also use different scents more often. Just keep the pieces on a soap saver.
I had the same problem with the bar of soap where it only lasted a short amount of time. For me it was four days. I shower almost everyday to keep my self as clean as possible. Needless to say I was disappointed with the product despite my excitement from its advertisement.
I cut my soaps down to four squares. I use a lofa to maximize the soap suds and it uses less soap as well. I get a week out of each square and that's showering twice a day. Keep the bar dry, as in don't leave it where the shower constantly soaks.
@@miguelolmedo9178 exactly. My first bar I felt the same. But after switching it up and doing as you said but into 3rds. I also pat it dry and store it in the cabinet. I get many many showers out of each bar. Definitely worth the price I pay for each bar.
Agree on shipping. I actually DID run out of soap waiting for the order. Loved the smells when I got and the fact there aren't all those damn chemicals so I'll just order earlier next time.
Look up the soap guy, not only is the quality the same, they have a larger selection of natural products too because they are who squatch buys from. Squatch buys off him in bulk and repackages it under their brand and a new name. You can buy the same exact soap for like a fifth of the price.
Agree 2 weeks out a bar of soap is not at all too much to ask, I've been using Dr squatch for 9 months now, love the product; especially hair care; come guys as a company give me a bit more.
Question: Do you use a soap dish so that the soap dries and hardens quickly? Comment: If you shower twice as often as a normal person, your soap won't have a much time to dry and harden. Which means it will be softer and be used up faster. I recommend showering once in the evening like a normal person to conserve your Dr. Squatch.
If you shower twice a day, it's probably better to alternate between two bars. That way, it has the time to dry out and get hard again. If you keep using it while it's soft, it'll go very fast.
Put the soap in a container and buy from Amazon. Both problems solved. Btw, chemical made soap lasts longer because of chemicals. Natural ingredients are obviously going to break down faster.
Use a soap saver, one they sell or not, and keep the soap on a shelf outside the shower. You could even pick up a wall-mounted soap dish at your local home improvement store. This removes your soap from standing water, heat, and constant water sprays as you shower. Even with my wife occasionally "borrowing" my soap, I routinely get 3-4 weeks out of a bar.
£7 for a bar of soap = 1 week. £28 a month, 12 months £338. If they can get in to the main shops ASDA, TESCO'S, etc. If they get that soap 🧼 at a mass market price £2 & multi pack deals people will buy for two reasons.... its as good as they actually say & affordable...... sales would ultimately sky rocket 🚀
I picked up a bar just for my beard. I was going to order it, when I walked into a thrift store where I live and they were selling the soap for $3.75 a bar. The person donated a whole case that he had bought because he did not like the scent. Trying it this weekend, if I like it I will go back and buy some more. Thanks for the review.
I ordered 31st may and it yook 3 weeks for them to box it and dispatch! Even with me sending multiple emails! God knows when it will arrive to me in the UK!!!
Loofah is the way to go man. Natural soap breaks down super fast so i started using a loofah and get way more out of it. Spot on with shipping tho. It's horrible
@@BaldandStrong most of my orders have taken 10 days at min. One took almost 3 week but when I contacted the company they gave me a $15 gift card and then gave me abother $15 gift card about a week later cause it still hadn't been delivered. Great company they just gotta get that shipping lined out
I get 6-8 more washes out of each bar if I pat it dry with a towel after each use and actually put it back in the box. I usually rub the zero grit varieties into a washcloth, but the medium/heavy grit soaps I rub right on my skin- I love that rough scratchy feeling. But I always dry the bars, they last a lot longer. I didn't find that cutting my bars in half worked... if you think about it, you're actually creating MORE surface area to dissolve faster. JMTC.
Like others have said, a soap tray helps the bars last longer. Using one along with a wash cloth (never got in the habit of rubbing the bars directly on me), I can get just over two weeks of use out of a bar. And I usually shower twice a day as well. Must say the shipping times from Squatch can suck; it's a fairly common complaint I see on their FB/IG posts. Though I did get my latest order from them a good 2-4 days earlier than expected.
If you are showering everyday especially with soap like this it isn’t going to last long. Your supposed to shower ever other day unless you do things like hard labor or workout. As a person with dermatitis I had my own dermatologist tell me that showering everyday isn’t good for you (unless you do what I mentioned above). Just get the soap bar holder it’ll definitely make it last longer. Also idk why everyone is complaint about the shipping and arriving time. As a woman (I’m getting this soap for my man’s birthday) our soaps can take 2 weeks to arrive sometimes. And cost double what dr squatches cost. My yoni soap is 16 dollars a bar. (18 if I buy the bundle of two)
I cut my soap into quarters and I get at least a month of daily (or twice daily) showers. Make sure you keep the soap bars out of direct shower head contact or that will disintegrate them quickly. Also a boar bristle brush prolongs the life even further if you can get used to the rough feeling.
Dawg don't wash with the bar. Couple passes on the chest & balls then use what's on your hands. Had my same bar for a month now and still got another 2 or 3 weeks left.
Awesome review really made me think about buying the soap and what I loved the most is how you mentioned the pros and the cons and gave reasons behind them well made review enjoying the content brother
From what I'm gathering its not worth it according to most reviews on here. I'm going to look at soap guys reviews and a few others I can find before I get something and watch my money go down the drain.

I know this is a year later, but I can now get Dr. Squatch pretty much everywhere, including Walmart. You do have to go to the special makeup section to find it, though. It's not with the rest of the soaps in the general hygeine-and-hair area.
Thanks for this review. 10 washes. I’m out. I’m not paying $7 a week for soap no matter how much better it may be. I’ve used chemical soaps for 45 years. I guess I’ll continue. Lok
My pleasure. Thank you for watching! Are you familiar with Duke Cannon? I'm using them now exclusively and loving it! th-cam.com/video/oVhjNWFZpSw/w-d-xo.html
The first time I got soap from them I got pine tar it was rock hard but lathered well and lasted quite awhile. The second time it was soft and lasted half as long. I think the original bar had sand in it and the later ones had oats. because of this the bar breaks in to tiny pieces really early.
If your soap is getting soft and mushy, you're handling it wrong...or rather, poorly. Never leave it sit in water or where it is constantly wet. If you are only getting 10 washes from a bar of soap...you're probably using far more than needed to do the job. As others have pointed out, allow the soap to dry between washes (use a wire soap dish that doesn't hold water), don't leave it sitting in the shower spray, and allow the soap to be fully cured before using. It might just be me, but I'd think grown men should have the sense to know how to not only wash their own a***s, but also how to properly use their soap.
@@BaldandStrong they're really good! I have some in my bathroom right now and love them! They also have other things, like solid colone, BIG lip balms, liquid colone, Many different soaps, deodorants, and cant forget ANY beard essential, they most likely have. TOTALLY RECOMMEND
Squatch hack: cut the bars in quarters. Each little square lasts almost as long as the whole thing. I get 24-28 showers out of one bar. That’s about 2 weeks, which isn’t the worst for $7.
"I was worried about running out of soap" ... Maybe you should plan better? That's like blaming traffic because you left your house at the last minute and end up late for work. Like, dude really? You know how long shipping takes. I'm out of country and know how long my shipping takes. Have never worried about running out because I do the smart thing. Plan your ordering accordingly. That said, I believe your TRUE problem lies with your next statement; "Only get about 10 washes" ... My man, you're doing something wrong. Organic soap requires special care, unlike that stuff you're probably used to which is made with chemicals designed to preserve it. You know, like how "wonderbread" lasts 3 months when fresh REAL bread barely lasts a week? Organic soap needs to be kept dry, which is why Squatch also sells a cedar soap stand. Keep the soap on your plastic shelf in the tub surround, or even worse on the edge of the tub itself, and it'll likely vanish all on it's own. Put it on that cedar soap stand, or an equivalent, which is designed to allow the soap to dry quickly after a shower and stay dry. It'll last a hell of a lot longer... Seriously most TH-cam reviewers, who are doing it right, barely notice any bar missing after 2-3 weeks because they've taken proper care of the soap. All in all bud I think most of the problems you're having are of your own doing. You are right though, you aren't most channels. Those other channels are actually following the guidelines for the care and maintenance of the soap before criticizing them. Maybe you should too. Looking forward to an updated review in another 6 months, if you care to try to prove me wrong. ....and no, I don't have any affiliation with Dr.Squatch. I'm not even American, but I am a mechanic (and bald) so I don't skimp on cleanliness. I use their products (over a year now) and those other reviews are far more accurate than yours. This stuff actually lasts a long time, when taken care of, and is way better than other soaps that I've tried. The pine tar one, specifically, scrubs off grime way better than most of those pumice citrus hand cleaners most shops provide. I'll also usually get a little over a month out of a bar (full-body scrub, 2-3 times daily). Cold Brew Cleanse is also pretty awesome. Scrubbing with coffee beans while supporting fire fighters? Like seriously? Win-win situation! Come on man, get serious with your reviews.
Thank you for your feedback, couple of things though... 1. On planning ahead, good point I should just place my second order as soon as my first arrives on my doorstep. Noted. I'm not sure where you live but if I was not in the same country as a manufacturer I would expect shipping to take longer. Not a handful of states away. 2. Of course I don't leave the soap where it's going to get soaking wet and stay soaking wet. Figured out when i was about 12 that will make soap go fast. I kept the soap on a soap saver the whole time. 3. Full body scrub 2-3 times a day is a lot! You definitely keep clean, which is great, don't get me wrong. But how hard are you scrubbing to get clean if you get a month out of a bar?
@@BaldandStrong ... Ok, your sarcasm is noted and appreciated. Let me rebut a little bit on the topic; 1. Planning accordingly doesn't mean ordering the second your order arrives. That's a little silly. It means ordering according to the shipping time it takes to normally receive the product. Just because it's only traveling a few states doesn't mean it should be there tomorrow. You have no idea the logistics behind their company. Might take a bit to process orders, maybe they save money by shipping in bulk orders instead of single orders, you don't know. Point is, instead of acting spoiled because you can't get it tomorrow simply plan accordingly. 2. If you use a soap saver than the problem must be... 3. Yea I shower most days twice (once before work and once after). Morning scrub is just to freshen up, for the most part. After work scrub is the deep clean, which a mechanic needs. That said, you don't have to sit there scrubbing the same part of your arm or chest like 500 times with your bar of soap while standing in the stream of water. Once you have lather, step out of the water and scrub with either your bare hands or a good shower brush (which is what I have). That's all you need! Lather = Soap! Simple concept, right? Why waste the bar using it as a sandpaper block during your whole shower?! I'm assuming that's your problem...
One retail location I came across was a truck stop in Joplin, Missouri. It is off Prigmore Ave at the Big Apple Cafe. Nearly bought them out of everything they had!
I've got plenty of tips to get your bar lasting longer.. I hear people with the same complaints about the bar doesn't lasts.. saying it only lasts them a week.. I lather up plenty and don't ever see my bars getting smaller..
Yeah I even use my bars to wash my hair!!! They last a good 3 weeks easily, soap saver is key and not let it sit in the fucking water stream. So many people do that like what the hell lol
I don’t see how people use them so fast 😂 I checked myself by tallying how many uses each bar has on the box after every shower, and they last a while. Also, cut your bars in half, doubles the life spans.
I have been using it for about 5 months and I've figured out some ways to keep the soap longer. Being a college student in a community dorm, I have to put the bar of soap in a Ziplock bag, but when I'm finished using the soap, I wring out all the water from the bag and keep it open. This lets the soap dry until the next use. One thing I love about their soaps is that they lather VERY well. Go over your body with the bar of soap once, then put the soap away. Lather what is left of the soap on your body and it will cover everything with suds. I even noticed that when I used that trick the smell of the soap stays longer when I'm done showering.
I've bought from them a few times now and love the products. It takes about a week for my shipments show up. I've also noticed I don't get attacked by mosquitoes anymore since I've started using Dr squatch products, not sure if it's just me but it sure is nice.
Few things work precisely as advertised. They get DAMN CLOSE!!!!
People spend 10 dollars a day on cigarettes brother you aren’t going to die paying 7 bucks a week on something to improve your health
I’ve been using Dr Squatch for about a year now. I didn’t really payed attention (probably because I wasn’t getting bit so I wasn’t thinking about it) but now that you mention it I don’t remember getting assaulted by mosquitoes like I usually did during the summer. 🙌
Same I love the smell of it
@@anthonybencina5315 they last like 3 weeks
If you take your soap out of the shower after using it and put it on the soap saver and use a loofah or a wash cloth your soap will last much longer even up to a month if you make sure to keep it out of the water as long much as possible while washing with it
As with any soap
I use a soap saver and cut my soap in half it would last me for a month, some people don’t know how to makes it last i guess🤷♂️
That is true
I bought the soap saver and they are awful. Soap fuses to them (I have two) and it can be extremely hard to remove. One time It chipped the wood under the soap it was so attached. The green gripper is awesome. Now I turn the soap green gripper side down and place it on the wood soap saver. I use 2 bars depending on how much or no exfoliating I want that day. They seem to last me a fair amount of time.
You have to do the same with Lush's soap, and they even recommend it. So I think they should offer one on the website since they are all about organic soap, but I digress. Just get a soap saver
A trick I learned from my grandparents - Open up the soap package and let it finish curing. If you have the time, let it sit out for about a week and it will last longer. Also as others have mentioned try making sure the soap can dry out between uses.
Yessir a soap saver works good too
@@fakegucciguy2908 whats that.?
@@jbearmcdougall1646 it’s a tray for soap that helps it dry
@@jbearmcdougall1646 dr squatch has 2 products for the soap and they do work
I've never heard of this technique before but I'll give it a try
Lasts a week? Are you showering right? Are you storing the soap correctly? You can’t keep all natural soap wet, it has to dry off to preserve it due to the natural ingredients breaking down overtime. If you’re standing under the water while you lather you are rinsing off the soap faster than you can use it. Turn the water off as you lather to get more bang for your buck. You also don’t need to use a lot of the soap, just a little rub here and there and the lather will spread. Mine lasts a couple months and I shower daily. But I guess to each their own 🤷♂️
Define “showering right?” Lol
I shower the same way many of us do I imagine. Of course I keep the bar dry as possible and on a soap saver. Your comment does make me realize something. People may use more or less soap depending on how their size….
No it for sure dissipates fast no matter what you do
I wish I could post some photo comments.. I've been using squatch for basically the last 6 months also.. plenty of tips to actually help the longevity of your bars..I used the 3 that came in the starter bundle for 3 months.. still have a half bar of each 3..
"Lasts a few months?" Lol make a book and i'll buy it!
Dude you literally freaked me out! When you posted the question "What did i learn?" and you did that motion and facial expression i thought you meant that the soap made you bald. Phew i need some breathing exercises now...
Genetics made me lose my hair, not the soap. Haha.
@@BaldandStrong I'd chalk it up to an overabundance of testosterone.
Me too I thought there was something tremendously wrong with the product. Phew, 😅 it was a minor issue.
@@Sodchucker TRUE
Lol
I'm 265lbs and I do autobody. Bar of soap lasts me 2 to 3 weeks 🤷🏻♂️. Shampoo and conditioner last too.
Are you using dr squat cuz that’s the whole point of this video
He said the soap starts to get soft that is why you get a soap saver
And you cut your soap . I cut mine into 4’s or 2 half’s . Thnk me later
It doesn't matter how you slice it,(lol) they should last longer for $10 a bar. It's good soap, some of the best I've tried. But it needs to improve on that or lower the price to maybe $6 a bar. Duke Cannon is around that price and it lasts a lot longer.
@@SomethingThatSCREAMS use a dry hand cloth after using the soap to keep it dry and place down on dry porcelain sink so noting will be absorbed out of it, say like wood does or a wet soap holder
God Bless
@@crying_hippy Thanks, I'll try that.
And if it gets too soft, and you start to drop the soap, there is a soap grip.
I've been using this soap for several months now, have yet to see a bar disappear in a week. If you're lathering up several times in one shower, I can see why it'll go fast. I like their scents far better than most other brands I've tried and even the packaging is something I really like. As for the shipping, I wait about a week each time. They have small selections available at Walmart and Target (that I've seen so far) so you don't have to wait any longer than a trip to the store for some but I've yet to see my preferred choices in stock. The bars are $7 a pop unless you subscribe and you get a small discount.
I don't know how this guy only got his soap to last a week. I cut the bars in half so I can use half a bar of soap before switching to another scent and that half bar lasts me 10 days with me showering every day, and sometimes twice. I call BS on the whole bar lasting a week thing
@@Coach-xo1wr could be very hairy so more soap is needed
1 shower daily is way too much but showering twice a day is way to much
That Pine Tar is my favorite but def runs out quicker then the others
Nobody uses a soap saver and they melt, my first bar lasted 3 days, after soap saver and daily showers I got almost 2 months
If you are using soap twice a day you are gonna wreck your skin dude
No you’re not.
A balanced diet and moisturizing after showering does the trick.
And there’s 24 hours in a day. Showering twice a day is critical, especially if that day involves gym, sports, etc.
Don’t be the “stank dude”.
@@TASconfidential Its actually pretty harmful to your skins natural oils to do that. Your skin isn't meant to be lathered with hot water and soap twice a day. But hey if it works for you good on you, but yeah I also agree with days that involve sports, when I know I have sports I usually just hold off until after I'm done to shower. But to each their own.
What are ya a germaphobes. Once a day is fine
Not true. I typically shower 2, sometimes 3 times if I jump in the shower a few times a week with my wife just for fun, but I still wash.
Maybe nasty chemical soaps will "ruin your skin", but not squatch. I've been using squatch exclusively for over a year now (started my subscription June 2020), and my skin, hair, and beard are better than ever.
@@TASconfidential you should not be using soap and hot water twice a day. Period. I didnt say anything about showering.
I shower 1 to 2 times a day depending on the day. I usually get my orders within a week. 2 weeks tops. I just always order my new batch when I start using my last bar. Use the soap savers and a bar should last about a month
@64DX Fr tf this fool talking about 😂
For sure I use the soap saver and put it in my bathroom cabinet after use, it lasts way longer then before I did this.
@64DX My walmart has it
@64DX yes you can
You need the soap saver to last a month on the pine bar saver. Mine always lasts a month or more and my wife and I have used it and a lot of compliments I get from wearing it.
For soap longevity , I recommend using a wash cloth, and putting the soap bar right back into the box after you lather the wash cloth with it. Your soap will last so much longer then a week
-Yeah I recommend this as well. Personal Experience: I only used my bar on sensitive areas where skin needs extra treatment n it only lasted me a week.
Ye I agree I tried to use it how they show in the ads & wash wit the bar but personally it doesn’t seem like it’d get me as clean & the lather isn’t as good, plus it’s too hard to hold
I recommend cutting them into 3s and rotating ever shower. Sure you’ll forget but it’s absolutely worth it especially if your all nuts about a soap price😅
@@noland5345 pretty smart honestly. im still using doctor squatch 5 months later and i dont use up too much soap but ima try that
Don’t put it back in the box or the box will mold
I hate to be the bearer of great news but here it is.
1. Dont shower with the ENTIRE BAR OF SOAP, when you go into war you dont take the entire armory, you take the essentials M18 with a m1911 and frag grenades.
2. Cut the bar of soap in half man, save the rest for later.
3. Use a loofah, dont get the soap under the running water, what you wanna do is wet your hands then grab the soap and then rub the soap against the loofah making a nice lather.
4. Once you get a nice lather carefully place the soap somewhere where water isnt going to splash it, definetly not underneath the dam faucet, if you so mich as nick the soap under the shower water it will wear away 2% gaster for every 10 seconds under the water.
5. For a full wash you will need to re apply the soap methood on the loofah 3 times but that is ok because that loofah methood is 72%% more efficient then taking the entire bar of soap with you.
6. Profit and laugh in the face of Dr. Squatch
Great points here! couple follow ups...
1. True- Though you wouldn't need the entire armory if you had the perfect weapon from which would assure your victory the first time.
2. This one is clever I will admit that!
3. Personally I'm not a loofah guy, tried it once and it wasn't pretty. That being said I know loofahs are great for many people. It's all about preference and individual functionality.
4. Is there a linear correlation on the math? Like only 1% reduction for each 5 seconds under water? asking for a friend lol
5.Does each of the 3 re applications equal a third of the body each time? If feel like the answer is yes here...lol
6. I do like profits!
Thank you for your great comment! and thank you for watching!
@@BaldandStrong the loofah is what spreads around the soap real nicely thats the trick to saving the soap, once you rub the soap on the loofah the part that xame off the soap isnt wasted, instead its actually applied evenly through the loofah into your body and yes i noticed if you do that 3 times its usually enough to get all your body, half the bar usually can last me 2 weeks in this case 1 month for an entire bar now thats what i call gains 💪
The bars last like over a month for me you really don't need that much for your whole body. go along your limbs once, circle once on your butt and torso, and one stripe on the back of your shoulders, then just lather to spread. It's not the product it's you. don't use the whole bar to scrub everywhere.
Got mine from Walmart and it lasted me three days and shattered into a million pieces when I dropped it. I love the smell and the sand texture of the pine tar... the only one I've tried but $8 a bar too much for three washes such fragile bars... hope they fix that and I can't understand why you are the only reviewer who said anything about how fast the bars go
cut a luffa sponge and stuff the soap in it.
I HATE the sand texture, it makes me itchy
There is actually a couple stores where I live called “Get socked up” which is a store that sells mainly unique looking socks but they also sell a very wide variety of Dr. Squatch products. I like it a lot more when i buy them in person because it gives you a chance to smell the products before you buy them.
actually the shipping slip you get tells you the average amount of time your soap will last. to make it last longer get a soap saver (and a gripper if you want) to fully aerate the soap
Something to note...it’s soap with nature found ingredients, it’s not gonna last as long in water as the soaps made with chemical ingredients, in fact some of the ingredients in said Chem Soaps make them last longer, yet also make them unsafe for the chemistry of our bodies, there are pros and cons with everything, everything’s gonna be a trade off, “natural soaps” clean with less chemically harmful ingredients yet are more costly and don’t last long when sitting in water, while “synthetic soaps” last longer, are cheaper, yet contain some biologically unsafe ingredients...a fix for the water issue i can say is by getting a soap holder that allows water to drip off it(which is provided/offered by Dr Squatch on their website), or drying it off with a towel
Thank you for the insight! I was looking forward to buying their products but what he said in the video scared me a little, I am not scared to throw $25 price of their soap holder if it means my soap last a longer time, so again thank for the advice!
@@Yazdazkafrazzz youre very welcome, glad to see that i could be of assistance
I would disagree, I had some of their soap really early on that was Harder and lasted much longer. They apparently changed recipes, they added oats for one.
@@Greasy__Bear im sure theres a reason, likely to make it even more natural
If synthetic soaps introduced chemicals to your body that are harmful, the FDA would not let them hit the shelves because that means they are potentially dangerous, especially to children. "Chemicals" is a buzzword used to scare people into buying a product, and the chemicals used in synthetic soaps are for scents, preservation and killing off bacteria just like hand sanitizer would. And yet you don't see people remarking about the hand sanitizer they love to use.
That's what nobody tells you because it's bad for the branding of natural products, not only that but they're obsolete. Dr. Squatch is vague about "chemicals" but fails to mention what the chemicals are because it's potentially bad for business.
It's like a gypsy scam artist selling you a crystal for "good energy" while explaining that modern medicine introduces toxins to your body. Toxins is another buzzword that doesn't mean anything in that specific context, because anything quantifiable that shows side effects can potentially be toxic to your body in excess, but people don't know any better so it sells because they become afraid. It's an underhanded and dishonest tactic to garner more interest and cash flow.
Cutting the soap into 4 peices will give you 6 showers or more per quarter depending on how you lather.
Square quarters or 4 equal strips?
I usually cut mine in half and they last me 1 month each. I only shower 3-4 times a week.
@@joatmon_313 cubed, I do the same thing and works good, just use a dry hand cloth to dry the soap after use and it lasts way longer
@@savin_theez_hoez ??
@@dbboykid10 what?
Shower once a day without over lathering and the bar of soap will absolutely last you longer than a week. Also keeping the bar on a rack after your done using it makes it last even longer as continuous contact with water makes it get soft faster.
I'm loving it, but I am noticing the bar is disappearing rather fast. I assume it's because they have on 5 ingredients that are highly soluble. Other soaps likely have binders and lathering agents that increase the longevity. TBH my biggest complaint is that the alpine sage fragrance, which smells amazing, has lavender in it (which I'm allergic to). However I mentioned this to them and they apologized heavily and immediately sent me a different scent. I'm going to stick by them a while longer because the scents smell amazing and the the soap does a lot for my sensitive skin.
Thank you for your comment, I agree with you that their scents are great, and that the bars of soap disappear quick! How long have you used them for?
@@BaldandStrong I'm about a week in. Im pleasantly surprised about the pine tar soap. I was afraid it would smell like pinesol haha!

@@BaldandStrong yes exactly
@@jz4697 Thank you for watching and commenting, did you subscribe to my channel?
1. Don’t leave cold pressed soap inside the bathroom when you’re done ever! Don’t let water hit it! Only use on a rag or loofah and then put it in a dry spot away from the water preferably outside the shower itself.
2. Dr squatch is the highest price cold press soap I’ve also heard the smell doesn’t last and that the website takes forever.
3. Just buy it at target. I know they don’t have a lot of variety but oh well it’s only 6 bucks a bar there
4. Try other brands!
5. I’m sure everyone has told you all of this over the last three years
I complained about how long the soap lasts when I first started using Squatch. I actually wend on amazon and bought a soap shelf for my shower that is far away from the direct flow of water, and is able to dry on all sides between uses. I only shower once a day of course, but these bars are stretching about 2 weeks for me now. If you're looking for comparable soaps with a WAY larger selection, cheaper price, and better shipping windows, I suggest "The Soap Guy". And they last a bit more than squatch. Only catch is, order minimums are 12 bars. So that's around $40 after shipping. So that's more than DOUBLE the soap for the same price. I still love squatch though. Bay Rum is too good to completely break up with them, and I've completely switched to their deodorant. It's expensive, but its too good
100% agree with you on that Bay Rum. While I prefer hikes in the woods/mountains, Bay Rum is still my fave.
Its the same soap. I think they get a few scents from bulk apothecary too now, but its just figuring out which scent is called what by dr squatch.
I think soap guy just sends em bulk orders as soon as theyre cut, and squatch sends it out without curing it first.
What they don’t tell you is that this is a cold car soap. If you keep it in a steamy shower you will melt it faster. Use it in the shower then keep it in a cool spot, don’t let it sit in the shower as you steam up the place for 20 mins
I like the soap but too expensive. It's all from the soap guy who has many more scents. The ones he doesn't sell you can find on bulk apothecary. All for a fraction of the price. $7 a bar is way too expensive.
are you sure they are the same soap bars doe?
It's not from the soap guy, lol. His site has "100% palm free" plastered all over the place and one of Squatch's main ingredients is palm oil.
Their shipping and response time were trash even in 2013 when they first started and when you first start a company that’s understandable 10 years later, it still takes them forever
I completely agree on everything you said with what they need to improve on. Even before pandemic shipping took forever.
If you shower 2 times a day than the soap isn’t drying out between uses and that will make it disappear faster. If you want truly natural soap this happens- I’d suggest having 2 bars going and alternating them use 1 in the morning and 1 at night! Just a thought- I’m a soap maker 😊
I started using their product 1 week ago and so far all good.
I primarily bought it for the deodorant, as others would cause stains and bad smell over time. I received my shipment in 1 weeks' time and I live in Canada.
Also, the soap is not really shrinking yet so I do not know how you use it but I do make sure to try and just pass it on my skin after I have soaked it to quickly stop using it, as I had heard about this from other reviews. But again, so far the soap is pretty much as I bought it.
Try to make sure no more water makes contact with the soap after use.
I do agree on the shipping part of receiving your order and I also agree on the longevity part of as well but I personally absolutely love their products.
Not gonna lie their Shipping sucks! I nearly called to get my money back before I finally saw my order getting home from work. Took over 3 weeks.
Wow!! I believe it sadly, one order I placed, didn't actually ship out for a week! For any company, with the product in stock, that kind of turn around time is terrible.
@@BaldandStrong yeah I really like their products but the wait time is ridiculous!
Walmart sells Dr Squatch products. I realized that yesterday
I found my soap lasts on average 3 weeks, I shower once per day, after I shower I dry it with a paper towel, then put it in a ziplock in the fridge!
That's really weird.
@@HalfinchLonomia not really, it's cold pressed, keep it in the cold and it hardens back up!
@@HalfinchLonomia lolllll
who tf does that 🤣😂
Bearsville has a good selection of all natural soaps too
I did some bootleg squatch science and came up with these numbers
(All of these are with the soap saver)
Using the bar normally - 8-10 showers
Cut in half 10 -13 showers
With a washcloth - about 30-40 showers
With a loofah - about 60 showers
So they can last long however you lose the experience of actually using the bar.
Yeah Science!!
Thank you for comment!
Their shipping time pisses me off and I won’t be ordering from them directly again.
I've been using a bar of Duke Cannon soap for the last 6 months! It really lasts and I shower daily.
Love dukes
I used their product for about 2 year. I joined because of the hype honestly me and my wife wanted to live a “healthier” environment by buying greener and natural products. The Doc was great but expensive and shipping sucked over time. We didn’t get our product for about 2 months one time and their way of apologizing was giving us a 20% discount. We calmed down about the whole “must be living a greener life “ and I went back to washing with Axe after seeing they are using planet base ingredients. It isn’t a big deal like how the ads making it out to be.
Bru dermatologist literally say you should only shower 2 to 3 times a week let's say 3 ok so that means alot of these people are overshowering like you shouldn't be showering 2 times a day so these bars sound just fine if I'm gonna be honest
With my current job, I get chemicals and sweat plus water all over me. I can see how someone who just even works out a little, might want the 2 x a day option. It is not unusual, it just depends on if you are getting sweat or anything else on you during that day.
I got a Dr. Squatch ad before this. 🤣
Really?! That’s funny.
As of 8/25/22 most of their bestseller soaps about 5 scents can be located on most Wal-Mart stores.
i work at one and can confirm that ours always has a ton on hand
Dr. squatch is now in walmart with the organic/"natural" body products, mostly just pine tar but it's a start! I found with the soap is you CANNOT let it sit in water or it will disappear so fast. I put mine in a ziplock bag and thread it through my wire hanging shower caddy upside down with it open, so like the soap is what keeps it from going through the bars and the upside-down open ziplock allows for the water to not hit it/run out of the bag. I also cut the bars in half and only use part of it at a time. DUDE I LOVE their deodorant, is amazing. It works better for me than axe or oldspice, but it is THICK and can get on clothes.
I get 3 weeks out of one bar, and all I do is put it on the soap saver.
With the soap saver and the use of a loofa I’m at two weeks on my current bar and I’m not even at the halfway mark with it. I’ve used about 1/4 of the bar....people just don’t realize you don’t need a lot of this soap. Just a little makes a huge lather on a rag or a loofa.
They now sell at Walmart, Smiths, Target, Walgreens, and of course Amazon.
Showering two times a day i dont think your gonna have a bar of soap last two weeks especially if you shower every day
At least not from Dr Squatch! Duke Cannon is lasting over a month!
Does using a lathering tool like a sponge help?
@@BaldandStrong duke cannon is garbage and gets squishy just like any other soap. They also don't use all natural ingredients and an unfriendly sodium when they cook their soap to form.

@@Holy_Wraith The same bar of Duke Cannon Soap that is still on the same soap saver as the Dr Squatch products fell apart on, begs to differ...

NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!!!
I have been a Squatch subscriber for three years and I’ve loved every minute of it and everybody that I’ve given my extra bars to because I don’t even go through one in a month although I shower every day has loved it as well!!!
I've been using their products for just about a year now and I love them. The only real complaint I have is that the scents don't last on my skin for nearly as long as the ads make it seem. Other than that I don't see me switching to anything else any time soon.
@@Scythian046 some scents last longer than others I’ve found. I stick to those and I’m all good.
@@DocImpossible which ones exactly? Pine tar seems to last me awhile, but eventually I can't smell it anymore. But I think I may just be getting used to the smell because my girlfriend says she can smell it even at the end of the day.
Dud, mine last me almost a month, it has also completely stopped my eczema out breaks, which has saved me a hell of a lot of money when you consider Dr. appointments and creams and lotions they proscribed.. As for shipping, it has never taken more than 7 days to receive my free shipping option. Your inability to plan is not a problem with the shipper, it is your inability to plan.
I dig this video!
Glad to see you not just tearing them down---and I am taking into account the time and year.
I have been using Squatch for two years----and I must say that I buy three bars a month (subbed) and it is pretty good to use them in lukewarm water with a sponge or loofah
What's your favorite scent so far?
I like the Bar Of the Dead (vanilla bean) or Spearmint Basil.
I always cut my bars in 4 equal pieces and Each piece lasts about 5-7 days. It allows me to also use different scents more often. Just keep the pieces on a soap saver.
I had the same problem with the bar of soap where it only lasted a short amount of time. For me it was four days. I shower almost everyday to keep my self as clean as possible. Needless to say I was disappointed with the product despite my excitement from its advertisement.
I get like 3.5 weeks out of a bar and i shower pretty often idk how yours doesn’t last as long
I agree that longevity, including the price of the soap, makes it difficult for me to become a returning customer.
I tried the soap but it’s just not practical. Once it gets thin it falls apart. Can’t be spending that much money on damn soap.
Sounds like you have similar experiences that I’ve had! When it starts to go it’s goes fast!
lol
I cut my soaps down to four squares. I use a lofa to maximize the soap suds and it uses less soap as well. I get a week out of each square and that's showering twice a day. Keep the bar dry, as in don't leave it where the shower constantly soaks.
@@miguelolmedo9178 exactly. My first bar I felt the same. But after switching it up and doing as you said but into 3rds. I also pat it dry and store it in the cabinet. I get many many showers out of each bar. Definitely worth the price I pay for each bar.
the ad before this video was a dr. squatch ad... nice
Agree on shipping. I actually DID run out of soap waiting for the order. Loved the smells when I got and the fact there aren't all those damn chemicals so I'll just order earlier next time.
Look up the soap guy, not only is the quality the same, they have a larger selection of natural products too because they are who squatch buys from.
Squatch buys off him in bulk and repackages it under their brand and a new name. You can buy the same exact soap for like a fifth of the price.
I found Dr. Squatch at Walmart so glad they finally carrying it in stores
Was it a variety of flavors?
Agree 2 weeks out a bar of soap is not at all too much to ask, I've been using Dr squatch for 9 months now, love the product; especially hair care; come guys as a company give me a bit more.
Question: Do you use a soap dish so that the soap dries and hardens quickly?
Comment: If you shower twice as often as a normal person, your soap won't have a much time to dry and harden. Which means it will be softer and be used up faster. I recommend showering once in the evening like a normal person to conserve your Dr. Squatch.
Literally who showers twice a day that dumb
Lol
If you shower twice a day, it's probably better to alternate between two bars. That way, it has the time to dry out and get hard again. If you keep using it while it's soft, it'll go very fast.
Put the soap in a container and buy from Amazon. Both problems solved. Btw, chemical made soap lasts longer because of chemicals. Natural ingredients are obviously going to break down faster.
Which container do you recommend?
Use a soap saver, one they sell or not, and keep the soap on a shelf outside the shower. You could even pick up a wall-mounted soap dish at your local home improvement store. This removes your soap from standing water, heat, and constant water sprays as you shower.
Even with my wife occasionally "borrowing" my soap, I routinely get 3-4 weeks out of a bar.
I think you're excessively washing certain body parts while you're in the shower twice a day
£7 for a bar of soap = 1 week. £28 a month, 12 months £338. If they can get in to the main shops ASDA, TESCO'S, etc. If they get that soap 🧼 at a mass market price £2 & multi pack deals people will buy for two reasons.... its as good as they actually say & affordable...... sales would ultimately sky rocket 🚀
Just order their soaps thru amazon, they deliver quicker
I think this is how I will order Squatch products going forward.
I picked up a bar just for my beard. I was going to order it, when I walked into a thrift store where I live and they were selling the soap for $3.75 a bar. The person donated a whole case that he had bought because he did not like the scent. Trying it this weekend, if I like it I will go back and buy some more. Thanks for the review.
And try a tray for the soap helps them last a lot longer
The weeks worth of showers was with a soap saver unfortunately. 😕
I find the soap saver to be more damaging because the soap adheres to it
@@jz4697 I have had soap pull apart on me also. This is a very good point!
I shower 4 times a day and I don't know why the soap doesn't last very long....
Get the soap saver and use half the bar at a time. It'll extend the life ALOT
I ordered 31st may and it yook 3 weeks for them to box it and dispatch! Even with me sending multiple emails! God knows when it will arrive to me in the UK!!!
Loofah is the way to go man. Natural soap breaks down super fast so i started using a loofah and get way more out of it. Spot on with shipping tho. It's horrible
What kind of shipping issues have you experienced?
@@BaldandStrong most of my orders have taken 10 days at min. One took almost 3 week but when I contacted the company they gave me a $15 gift card and then gave me abother $15 gift card about a week later cause it still hadn't been delivered. Great company they just gotta get that shipping lined out
I get 6-8 more washes out of each bar if I pat it dry with a towel after each use and actually put it back in the box. I usually rub the zero grit varieties into a washcloth, but the medium/heavy grit soaps I rub right on my skin- I love that rough scratchy feeling. But I always dry the bars, they last a lot longer. I didn't find that cutting my bars in half worked... if you think about it, you're actually creating MORE surface area to dissolve faster. JMTC.
I tend to prefer the gritty style soaps more myself, with some exceptions. Thanks for commenting and hope you enjoyed the video!
Like others have said, a soap tray helps the bars last longer. Using one along with a wash cloth (never got in the habit of rubbing the bars directly on me), I can get just over two weeks of use out of a bar. And I usually shower twice a day as well.
Must say the shipping times from Squatch can suck; it's a fairly common complaint I see on their FB/IG posts. Though I did get my latest order from them a good 2-4 days earlier than expected.
Glad to hear you’re getting your order early!
Do they suds good with a loofa
@@thetruth1862 from what I've seen and heard from a few other TH-camrs, a loofah will work well with these bars.
Does anyone remember soap on a rope ,that was the highlight of my 7th grade dances, get to use papa's rope some with an anchor on it
I got curious the other day and it said the expected delivery date was Jan 2nd. I got them at noon today (Dec 18th).
in the most respectful way possible this guy is the bald Bob Ross
Silver stone apothecary makes some fantastic soap. Better than squatch in my opinion and more options. Squatch s overrated
If you are showering everyday especially with soap like this it isn’t going to last long. Your supposed to shower ever other day unless you do things like hard labor or workout. As a person with dermatitis I had my own dermatologist tell me that showering everyday isn’t good for you (unless you do what I mentioned above). Just get the soap bar holder it’ll definitely make it last longer. Also idk why everyone is complaint about the shipping and arriving time. As a woman (I’m getting this soap for my man’s birthday) our soaps can take 2 weeks to arrive sometimes. And cost double what dr squatches cost. My yoni soap is 16 dollars a bar. (18 if I buy the bundle of two)
Also not to mention your google source said 3-7 days ARRIVING time. That is not bad at all.
I cut my soap into quarters and I get at least a month of daily (or twice daily) showers. Make sure you keep the soap bars out of direct shower head contact or that will disintegrate them quickly. Also a boar bristle brush prolongs the life even further if you can get used to the rough feeling.
Wal-Mart now sells Dr. Squatch products. And for the soap to last longer, cut the bar in quarters. It's too big and blocky anyway
I use a soap saver and cut my soap in half turn off the water when using soap it last me for about a month
brilliant
how u wash ure ass thoe thats what i want to know
Walmart Carries Dr. Squatch now!
Damn where is jpegmafia. he needs this bald head energy.
Dawg don't wash with the bar. Couple passes on the chest & balls then use what's on your hands. Had my same bar for a month now and still got another 2 or 3 weeks left.
The shipping could definitely be improved, but as others have mentioned, soap savers help tremendously with the longevity.
yo i waited 4 months for my soap.and was told over and over as well as the tracking said its sent .
4 months?! That’s terrible…
Awesome review really made me think about buying the soap and what I loved the most is how you mentioned the pros and the cons and gave reasons behind them well made review enjoying the content brother
Glad you enjoyed it and the content! Please consider subscribing, it really helps me out.
From what I'm gathering its not worth it according to most reviews on here. I'm going to look at soap guys reviews and a few others I can find before I get something and watch my money go down the drain.

I know this is a year later, but I can now get Dr. Squatch pretty much everywhere, including Walmart. You do have to go to the special makeup section to find it, though. It's not with the rest of the soaps in the general hygeine-and-hair area.
I prefer greatly Caswell Massey, their bars last quite a while, and stay solid.
Classic and CLASSY.
Love Casswell-Massey.
You can now get it at Scheels if you live near one. Also I saw some at Walmart last week. Yeah I know it’s 2 years after you posted the video.
Thanks for this review. 10 washes. I’m out. I’m not paying $7 a week for soap no matter how much better it may be. I’ve used chemical soaps for 45 years. I guess I’ll continue. Lok
My pleasure. Thank you for watching! Are you familiar with Duke Cannon? I'm using them now exclusively and loving it!
th-cam.com/video/oVhjNWFZpSw/w-d-xo.html
Duke Cannon soap is amazing!
SOAP HACK. BEFORE FIRST USE. CUT INTO HALF INCH SQUARES. PUT IN BAGGY. USE ONE SWUARE PER SHOWER. LATHER IT IN LOOFA.
The first time I got soap from them I got pine tar it was rock hard but lathered well and lasted quite awhile. The second time it was soft and lasted half as long.
I think the original bar had sand in it and the later ones had oats. because of this the bar breaks in to tiny pieces really early.
Mine had sand and it shattered after three days
If your soap is getting soft and mushy, you're handling it wrong...or rather, poorly. Never leave it sit in water or where it is constantly wet. If you are only getting 10 washes from a bar of soap...you're probably using far more than needed to do the job. As others have pointed out, allow the soap to dry between washes (use a wire soap dish that doesn't hold water), don't leave it sitting in the shower spray, and allow the soap to be fully cured before using. It might just be me, but I'd think grown men should have the sense to know how to not only wash their own a***s, but also how to properly use their soap.
How long does a bar last for you?
Try duke cannon
I haven’t heard of them...
@@BaldandStrong they're really good! I have some in my bathroom right now and love them! They also have other things, like solid colone, BIG lip balms, liquid colone, Many different soaps, deodorants, and cant forget ANY beard essential, they most likely have. TOTALLY RECOMMEND
@@ludislol I have placed and received my first ever Duke Cannon order and I'll be reviewing it in my next video!
Squatch hack: cut the bars in quarters. Each little square lasts almost as long as the whole thing. I get 24-28 showers out of one bar. That’s about 2 weeks, which isn’t the worst for $7.
"I was worried about running out of soap" ... Maybe you should plan better? That's like blaming traffic because you left your house at the last minute and end up late for work. Like, dude really? You know how long shipping takes. I'm out of country and know how long my shipping takes. Have never worried about running out because I do the smart thing. Plan your ordering accordingly. That said, I believe your TRUE problem lies with your next statement;
"Only get about 10 washes" ... My man, you're doing something wrong. Organic soap requires special care, unlike that stuff you're probably used to which is made with chemicals designed to preserve it. You know, like how "wonderbread" lasts 3 months when fresh REAL bread barely lasts a week? Organic soap needs to be kept dry, which is why Squatch also sells a cedar soap stand. Keep the soap on your plastic shelf in the tub surround, or even worse on the edge of the tub itself, and it'll likely vanish all on it's own. Put it on that cedar soap stand, or an equivalent, which is designed to allow the soap to dry quickly after a shower and stay dry. It'll last a hell of a lot longer... Seriously most TH-cam reviewers, who are doing it right, barely notice any bar missing after 2-3 weeks because they've taken proper care of the soap.
All in all bud I think most of the problems you're having are of your own doing. You are right though, you aren't most channels. Those other channels are actually following the guidelines for the care and maintenance of the soap before criticizing them. Maybe you should too. Looking forward to an updated review in another 6 months, if you care to try to prove me wrong.
....and no, I don't have any affiliation with Dr.Squatch. I'm not even American, but I am a mechanic (and bald) so I don't skimp on cleanliness. I use their products (over a year now) and those other reviews are far more accurate than yours. This stuff actually lasts a long time, when taken care of, and is way better than other soaps that I've tried. The pine tar one, specifically, scrubs off grime way better than most of those pumice citrus hand cleaners most shops provide. I'll also usually get a little over a month out of a bar (full-body scrub, 2-3 times daily). Cold Brew Cleanse is also pretty awesome. Scrubbing with coffee beans while supporting fire fighters? Like seriously? Win-win situation! Come on man, get serious with your reviews.
Thank you for your feedback, couple of things though...
1. On planning ahead, good point I should just place my second order as soon as my first arrives on my doorstep. Noted. I'm not sure where you live but if I was not in the same country as a manufacturer I would expect shipping to take longer. Not a handful of states away.
2. Of course I don't leave the soap where it's going to get soaking wet and stay soaking wet. Figured out when i was about 12 that will make soap go fast. I kept the soap on a soap saver the whole time.
3. Full body scrub 2-3 times a day is a lot! You definitely keep clean, which is great, don't get me wrong. But how hard are you scrubbing to get clean if you get a month out of a bar?
@@BaldandStrong ... Ok, your sarcasm is noted and appreciated. Let me rebut a little bit on the topic;
1. Planning accordingly doesn't mean ordering the second your order arrives. That's a little silly. It means ordering according to the shipping time it takes to normally receive the product. Just because it's only traveling a few states doesn't mean it should be there tomorrow. You have no idea the logistics behind their company. Might take a bit to process orders, maybe they save money by shipping in bulk orders instead of single orders, you don't know. Point is, instead of acting spoiled because you can't get it tomorrow simply plan accordingly.
2. If you use a soap saver than the problem must be...
3. Yea I shower most days twice (once before work and once after). Morning scrub is just to freshen up, for the most part. After work scrub is the deep clean, which a mechanic needs. That said, you don't have to sit there scrubbing the same part of your arm or chest like 500 times with your bar of soap while standing in the stream of water. Once you have lather, step out of the water and scrub with either your bare hands or a good shower brush (which is what I have). That's all you need! Lather = Soap! Simple concept, right? Why waste the bar using it as a sandpaper block during your whole shower?!
I'm assuming that's your problem...
I’m only 21 but I’m already real close to being bald. I just hope my head is as nice and rounded as yours.💯
One retail location I came across was a truck stop in Joplin, Missouri. It is off Prigmore Ave at the Big Apple Cafe. Nearly bought them out of everything they had!
I've got plenty of tips to get your bar lasting longer.. I hear people with the same complaints about the bar doesn't lasts.. saying it only lasts them a week.. I lather up plenty and don't ever see my bars getting smaller..
Yeah I even use my bars to wash my hair!!! They last a good 3 weeks easily, soap saver is key and not let it sit in the fucking water stream. So many people do that like what the hell lol
Which bars do you use?
Anybody else get a dr squatch ad when pulling up this video?
I don’t see how people use them so fast 😂 I checked myself by tallying how many uses each bar has on the box after every shower, and they last a while. Also, cut your bars in half, doubles the life spans.
Get a soap saver and cut your bars in half don’t use the whole thing at once
