Are bar soaps more of a hassle than liquid soaps? For a culture that covets convenience, sure.
Liquid soaps are not messy, they don’t slip out of our hands, they don’t require a soap dish.

If we consider that $2.7 billion 💰was spent on liquid body wash alone in 2015 – even if we randomly (and generously) assign a cost of $10 per bottle ---⏩⏩that’s 270,000,000 plastic bottles with pump parts that end up in the waste cycle.⏪⏪And remember that’s just body wash. While some people refill their dispensers and create less waste, it’s still decidedly more plastic than the paper wrapper of a soap bar.😮 Moreover, @huffingtonpost reports that the carbon footprint in general is 25 percent more for liquid soap over bar soap. 😨
