Edit to Add: Mom made soap at times. It requires quite a bit of energy/power. She also repurposed the soap bar remnants dissolving them into a "thrifty person" hand soap for the non-guest washroom.

My ex wife made soap from breastmilk left in the freezer after my daughter moved on to solids.
If she took the time to make soap out of breast milk, she sounds like a hardcore broad.For most stockpiling bars makes most sense.
If you like a project, making it can be fun and you can have a variety of different scents and textures...

Milk, Lye, Olive oil is the base.
The only part to watch is the lye... it will burn you. Bits of it too small to see will get on your skin and irritate the hell out of you... long sleeves and gloves, unless you want to be hardcore.
Have some vinegar on hand to rinse your skin if exposed. Straight water will make it worse.
On a side note, Lye makes a great drain cleaner... just pour the powder into the drain and chase it with hot water.
You'd think...If she took the time to make soap out of breast milk, she sounds like a hardcore broad.
No matter what woman you think about, somewhere, there is a man completely sick and tired of her bubblegum.You'd think...
Yeah, I get it.No matter what woman you think about, somewhere, there is a man completely sick and tired of her bubblegum.
I was just meaning from the standpoint that many women today don't even know how to cook, so the concept of making soap from breastmilk seems way beyond that.
Don't forget they also offered craft-made lampshades, too.
During a disaster (or in a field environment) you ration soap and water by only washing "pits and slits" with a dampened slightly soaped cloth, rinse with a damped non-soaped cloth, and keep yourself as dry as possible.To quote the immortal words of Ace Ventura, "Congratulations on all your success, you smell terrific!"
OK, more seriously, hygiene is of critical importance in a disaster, as in other times. I recently watched a documentary about the internment of American (and Allied) civilians in Manilla during the war. One of the major challenges they faced was stretching out and supplementing their meager soap rations to maintain at least minimal sanitation. This was exacerbated by relatively close quarters living, tropical diseases, and dwindling supplies as the Axis powers fell back.
So, is soap making part of your preps or is it just easier to buy it cheap and stack it deep? If you do make soap, what is the best way to make bar soap? How about softer type of shaving purposes?
