    My gym does not provide soap in the shower and I probably wouldn't use it if they did. I am picky about my soap.

    Wouldn't this be considered a "First World Problem"?

    Bring your own toiletries.

    My gym has body wash, shampoo & conditioner in every shower. Wish they would get rid of the hair dryers though. My eyes can't take walking in on a guy dryer off his nads! :angry:

    it may be because it's ten to one when i've seen this, but i've never really paid any attention either way. Do we care?? If it's there brilliant if not well then just bring some. Probably just don't use a bar if you find it lying around….

    WOw, I never knew gym showers had soap. :indifferent: Mine doesn't. Just buy a cheap plastic soap dish and bring it with you.

    I actually used to do this and still have the soap dish, but it got all juicy and started getting everything in my bag all slimed up so I stopped.
    I put mine in a plastic soap dish and then ziploc around it to make sure it doesn't leak. I never use the soap at the gym because I'm really picky on soap, shampoo and conditioner. I almost ziploc everything though to avoid everything getting slimed up and wet in my bag. I may have a slight case of OCD. :smile:

    My husband's old gym had a unique, but effective solution: The soap in the showers smelled like sweaty balls. He was literally better off just rinsing, but he did start taking his own soap.

    I always carry my own so I never noticed. I will look though

    I'm a germ a phobe though and would never touch them. Hell after some of the stuff I've read on these boards, I've become a worse germ a phobe.. I even carry antibacterial wipes and lysol for the machines and toilets.. put fungal powder on my feet (even though I don't have fungus) because I'm convinced there's creepy crawly's that get past my shower shoes.. Matter of fact just this morning as I showered I was thinking of adding a antibacterial shower spray to the gym arsenal LOL!!

    That's not OCD is it?? :huh:

    This is something like what I would do actually... Except for the shower shoe thing because that's weird.

    Mine does. Honestly, the soap at the sinks is actually body wash.

    ETA: I don't shower at the gym. I live 5 minutes away, so I just go home after.
