Same as my wife, we rarely use hotel products because she packs our own things because she says its bettter and also minimises unnecessary waste at the sme time

This outcry is about a whining and paranoid minority who don’t like change, don’t travel as much as much as they think they do, and see conspiracies at every turn—and/or those who don’t care at all about environmental health.
Exactly, imagine those same folks arriving at an airline lounge (ohhhhhhhhh) or public bathrooms (ooooooooh) only to find dispensers. Shock horror.

We are also bar soap fans. Plus bar soaps last a much longer time, so if we are away for a month, we might only need one bar versus a decent sized liquid dispenser bottle if we went that route.
