This soap can be used for everything! I use it in the shower and I use it for dishes! It's not bad for the environment so you can use it in the back country and not worry about poisoning the local animals!

These are amazing. Stay in my ear and are comfortable and cute. I don't always need earplugs but sometimes my ADHD brain focuses too much on outside noise and won't let me sleep.
