We’ve lived in our rental for 4-1/2 years. When we moved it, the only non-fixture items in the house were a roll of TP and a soap bottle by the sink. That same soap bottle is overflowing today!
I put my soap bits in there, instead of piggy backing them. My Guy likes a bar of soap, so he uses that and I use the pump bottle. It mushes well by itself, with some hot water now and then. I did try to nuke it once but it slightly warped the bottle. I will sometimes float it in my super hot baths (an admitted luxury) to soften, and then I shake.
Yesterday I bought a nice soap/lotion pump bottle as a gift for a particular friend; it's perfect for her. I was going to empty out the soap and wash it, so that she could do lotion or soap of her choice. Well, that liquid won’t fit in that 4-1/2 year old bottle.
I wonder how many of the original molecules from the original liquid soap are still bubbling in there?

I like the pump bottles as well.
Except for my showers. Then I use bars.

Hey how about solid deoderants? When I was in college I used to save the unusable ends, and when I had at least three, I would microwave them in a cup and then pour the partly cooled liquid into an empty deoderant container. It worked very well. But recently I tried it and the liquid just ran right through the deoderant container. Maybe I did not let it cool enough first. When it works, it is like a brand new deoderant stick.

I absolutely use the deoderant/anti-persperant ends! I have an old Mitchum glass bottle, which works well. It's the ball roll on type. I put in chunks of the solids, and pour in gels and liquids (I buy whatever is cheapest and also get free samples), and then if need be a dash of water, nuke (glass bottle!) and shake. It sure works. I'm so glad it's not just me.
