Can you use the melt/pour soaps as is for a regular soap, or do you have to actually melt/pour them?

Most definitely you can! You would only need to cut the blocks to the size you are comfortable using. Melt and pour would be needed if you wanted the soap to be molded, scented, and/or colored.

Though I have not used with the specific soap you indicated, I cannot see there being a problem. I use with all dawn products and some are thicker than others. Love this gadget.

I'm not familiar with that brand of soap but any soap can be liquified in a microwave and then poured into any cup. I've done that without a problem. One plus: your kitchen smells nicer for a few minutes.

Yes! My soap came out with no fuss. "You have to prop up the sides with some books if you want it to be perfectly rectangular" Happy soaping!

I have the higher-end version of this and the soap just stays in the mug/bowl after I've lathered up. It "glues" itself to the ceramic just from the water left in on the soap. No need to do anything fancy.

I use this mold for soap (cold process), but any type of soaping will work. The mold is silicone so all you have to do is place mold upside down after soap is ready to unmold. (cold process: 24 to 48 hours; melt and pour: about three hours) Once mold is upside down, gently press with heel of your hand to release air pocket. Then you can switch to thumbs to continue removing. It's simple and quick.

It says to use regular liquid hand soap. On the front of the dispenser it tells you how much soap to put in and how much water. Instructions say not to shake it, but to agitate it from side to side. Be careful though, when using, because when you press down too hard it will shoot out all over you. This has happened to me more than once, ha, ha! It really works great and it's nice and big. Thinking of getting another one. Glad it comes in different colors. You can put 1 in the kitchen. Great product! Glad I purchased it.

I believe you can only use clear type liquid soaps in any of the foaming pumps, not creamy ones. I don't think you'll be able to find one that says creamy soap is ok. Having said that, any clear soap will work fine. I'm using Philosophy gingerbread man shampoo/bodywash in mine. It's working fine.

Nope -- I have just used the simplehuman soap and softsoap which both work perfectly. The lighter consistency soaps are best.

I would suggest a foaming pump. 1/3 soap, 2/3 water. And it works great!! If you are not wanting to buy a foaming pump, then i have heard that you can also mix 1/3 to 2/3 with aloe vera gel for a more soap like consistancy. Hope this helps!

They're hard plastic, so I would use soap and water. Probably not boil them. (I didn't really use them much because they were too hard and uncomfortable for me.)

Depends on the usage but it is bigger than the others..I guess can use longer than normal soaps.

I put mine in a foaming dispenser & it works great. Its a very watery soap so you get more uses if you use a foaming dispenser. I love this soap.

I don't know how you make soap. I bought it to keep ants and mice out of the house. I also put some in a pan of water on the stove on low and it refreshes the air and makes it easier to breathe. It comes in a liquid form if that helps.

They say you can but the lotion should be of the same viscosity as the soaps. Like soft soap if you're not familiar with the simplehuman soaps.

Depends on what you mean by "regular" a standard bar of soap you buy at the store is about 3.5 oz or so. 2lb of soap is 24oz so roughly 6 bars of soap. Melt and pour doesn't need to have anything else added to it, so right out of the bag you can melt this down and pour it into a mold.

There are instructions. It is very simple as the glycerol soap base is melt and pour.
