I like opening up and using a new bar of soap. It's bigger and fresher and seems to get the job done. The problem is I have about 5 smaller soaps that still aren't all used up yet.
Is there a way to either merge these smaller ones into the bigger one or to use up the smaller ones rather than just throwing them out?
The other day I just threw one of the small ones on the shower floor only to slip on it and fall on my ass the next day.

They usually don't get that small.
I should add that I enjoy washing my clothes (hand washing) in the shower with my soap as well.

Also, you'll need one of these.

Simpler solution: use liquid soap.

It's easier to wash my clothes in the shower with bar soap.

Ironically, if that's what you're really doing, you're wasting your money. Use a big bar of laundry soap if you want to hand wash your clothes. It lasts much longer.

Maybe so, but keeping your clothes on while you shower saves so much more time.

But I don't want to wash myself with laundry soap - it feels and smells strange on me. With regular bath soap I can wash myself and my clothes.

You know that you can shop and cook in there too.

Zackback washes his clothes in the shower like a neanderthal, which seems to fall in line with his ideas about having a servant/slave for a wife. I'm pretty sure he's a troll account.

At least he washes his own clothes.

This is why I'm glad I don't have room mates any more.

Use the leftover bars to make your own laundry detergent.

Or you could just leave the bigger bars in the showers and use the smaller ones for handwashing at the sink.
