Are you loyal to a certain brand of hygiend product?

I tend to use safeguard soap and aim toothpaste.

I did have loyalty to Chuck Norris brand of TP but had to quit using it because it wouldn't take sh!t from anyone 🙁

Used the same stuff for decades:

1. Shampoo (no other hair crap)
2. Bar Soap (for shaving as well)
3. Deodorant (not antiperspirant)

The less it smells the better. Perfumed anything gives me a headache. Find me generic products that do the same job for less, and I'll buy it. Toothpaste is whatever my wife drags home. I don't care.

Whoa, thanks. Was going to run out to buy a new tube today, didn't know it had triclosan in it, and Wikipedia sez it can do some bad stuff :Q. Time for a new kind of toothpaste.

No it doesn't. There is NO valid evidence whatsoever that it's harmful. None. Wiki acknowledges this.

The only valid argument against it is bacterial resistance... but that's a "greater good" argument and not a personal health argument. It applies to all "anti-bacterial" products.

i don't use anti-bacterial products either for the same reason. for one, they aren't needed unless you are scrubbing for surgery or the like. studies have shown that the handwashing technique (read: thoroughness) is what cleans effectively no matter what kind of soap you use.

i feel uneasy enough about triclosan that i won't be using a toothpaste that contains it.
you can call it humbug all you want.
