A total of 500 questionnaires were administered. There were 325 males and 175 females. The mean age of the respondents was 28±3.3 years (males) and 24±2.5 years (females).241/500-(48.2%) preferred medicated soaps while 259/500-(51.8%) preferred toilet soaps for bathing. 115/500-(23%) made this choice because it cleans better, 220/500-(44%) because it is more hygienic while 165/500-(33%) prefer it because of other reasons such as being safe; mild on the skin; foams or lathers well, and just simply prefers it.190/500(38%) of respondents chose their soaps when buying because of its fragrance or odour. 19%(95/500) because of its cost, 11.6%(58/500) because it is recommended by friends, 7.4%(37/500) because of advertisement, 4.4%(22/500) because of the colour of the wrapper while 14.2%(71/500) because of other reasons such as mild or gentle on skin, availability, maintain tone and antiseptic properties. 64.8% (324/500) are aware of potential hazardous effect of soaps while 35.2(176/500) are not.
