For a while now I've been rubbing and making soap into powder ( Irish spring to be exact) I was just wondering is it normal or healthy to smell and rub the powder? I buy 8 bars a week for the last 7 yrs....and I rub the powder and smell it for hours I feel like I have to do it. It relaxes me a lot....I taste it sometimes but is overwhelming but I still do it...my man is mad about everything being soapy but I don't care....I just clean it is it normal.

    Some soaps smell like a drop of sexy but when it comes to the soaps tat have artificial ingredients, its probably not safe to be sniffing on them.

    Classic signs of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, I'd suggest learning more about OCD and finding a therapist that can help you overcome it. I'd also check with your GP about the health risks of eating soap. Good luck!

    If you crave the taste of inedible substances, you may be anaemic and suffering from 'pica'.
    I can't make comment about the rest of your post though!
