Hand soap shaped like baby hands

I very much like these cakes of soap in the shape of immature humans' hands. A bag of them will set you back $20.

Creep everyone out in your guest bathroom. Each soap is shaped like a little hand! The soaps range from 1/2” to 2”.
You will get at least 10 hands (at least/about 100 grams of soap). This soap is made from goat’s milk and vegetable glycerin with a light scent. Your hands come packaged in a pretty bag…all ready for gifting to a friend with dirty paws!

You could always buy them from this etsy seller as well, although they appear to be low on stock too.

Eww. Like a pedophile’s dream: “Give me baby hands to touch me!”

Something disturbing there is about that. The hands bear a certain verisimilitude to real hands. I think the default impression that the brain has when it lights upon a disemodied hand or limb is to automatically register the idea that it has been severed.

Honestly, I find them a little scary too. Like all these creepy crawly hands reaching for you!

This is almost unbearably awesome.

But if you’re a little kid, needing to wash your hands, how strange and yet comprehensible.

…There’s a lot of pervs out there who are just going to go apeshit over this one. It’ll be their equivalent of a phallic soap-on-a-rope!

Comments 2,3,4 — Yikes. I’m glad my mind didn’t take those sad trajectories when I saw these soaps.

For all the people immediately jumping to conclusions about pedophiles wanting this soap– I’m not sure that’s how it works. I’m a heterosexual female. If there is soap shaped like detached male hands, am I going to be automatically aroused by this?

That said, I think they’re creepily cool.

i’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new handsoap – these are fantastic….quite beautiful….yes, obviously, a conversation piece, but most notably, the seemingly very few of us who can appreciate art CAN and DO recognize this as an artpiece. It will not be rubbed on my nipples, it will not be going in my “poopshoot” and it certainly will not entertain thoughts of pedophelia. THIS IS AN ARTPIECE you morons. I guess it just didn’t occur to me, as a sculptor myself, that there were so MANY morons who simply cannot or do not appreciate ART. And by the way….have any of you actually read a book lately?
