I started using Kiss My Face‘s olive oil & aloe soap today, which was purchased from Trader Joe’s, and realized that I’ve been taking for granted the rounded shape that most soaps have. I found the big, blocky soap to be uncomfortable and difficult to handle. You’d think the sharp corners would be easier to hang onto, but there’s something lacking when you can’t wrap your hand nicely around the bar. So what other simple ergonomics am I neglecting in everyday life? I notice door handles and switches, thanks to Don Norman, but I never thought before about how I hold soap.
