My mom used to use it to wash bad words out of my mouth......
I used to carve Ivory into little balls and dip it in chocolate.
I would set a few out during the Christmas family get together’s.

RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME
My sister tried this on Dad and it does the trick. Even the nurses in the hospital keep a bar of it on hand for patients who suffer from it. IVORY SOAP works best.

I used it for decades for acne. Made a paste with my finger and dabbed it over the pimple. Let it dry and do it again until it was covered with dry soap. Overnight many times it would go away or be half the size. After a few nights gone!
Ivory today is not the same formula Ivory we grew up with.
It no longer floats.

Dat’s raciss!
Bkmrk.
Before going off to BCT at Fort Knox (age 19) I was warned not to drop it in the shower.
I can attest to the fact that Ivory Soap is effective against leg cramps.
Suffered with leg cramps for years..so very painful....started taking Biotin daily and put 2 bars of Ivory Soap in bed, placed near the area where I get cramps.
Stopped the cramps.... very rarely, a very mild one will happen, but it is very mild.
It is important that the soap be changed every 3-4 weeks. A couple of times I hadn’t changed the soap in a month and the cramps started up again.
Maybe it is all in my head, but Ivory soap is only $1.25 for 3 bars at Walmart.. just put in my your soap dish when you are done!
one of the best uses is an excuse to post pix of Marilyn Chambers.
“Cleaning Brass and Copper [no. 1,603
Dip cloth in lemon juice, then rub it on a cake of Ivory Soap and scour the article thoroughly, using more lemon juice and soap as needed. When soap is dry, polish well with a clean, soft cloth; rinse in hot water and dry. The polish will last an unusually long time.”
“To Clean Floors [no. 13,168
To renovate studio and school room floors that have been waxed and have had hard usage:
To a quart of gasoline add ^ of a cake of Ivory Soap, or less, that has been previously melted, or shaved and let stand 24 hours. Apply with a cloth, sparingly and quickly. This will not only clean the floor, but will leave a satin finish that will be dry in a short while and will save much time in waxing and polishing.
It is unnecessary to add the caution not to use in a room where there is a fire.”
Most of the rest are great, but I think that I’ll pass on that one even though no one ever smokes in my house.
Ralphie:
"Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand..."
