Saw this on lifehack years ago

Have tried it a billion times,  the smaller piece never sticks, and eventually just falls off..

Are you kidding? I always do this, and have for decades.

Both bars need to be wet and somewhat softened when you stick them together, and need to dry and harden a minimum of 12 hours.

Dis is nuts..  how come everyone else got this to work..


This is what happens,  I take the two pieces (when wet), put them together.  give it a good squeeze..

Then I leave it,  the next day, when I try to use it, it will stay together to some extent,  but inevitably, it comes back apart..

Depends on the soap. Certain soaps is ez, but I think stuff like Dove don't work

I've had no success with lever 2000, irish spring, or dove..

Those are the only ones i've bought ever, because they're the cheepest.

Dove works fine but non-flat surfaces are harder to meld together unless 1 of the pieces is thin enough and soft enough to spoon itself onto the other one.

Also oilier soaps work better than drier soaps like Dove.

I didn't even know this was a hack, been doing it for years. Definitely works.

Same here.

Sometimes doesn't work, but then the shower drips occasionally which prevents the join from bonding properly.
