I’m surprised nobody has thought of this before, really. There are plenty of people in the world who know how to make moulds. There are even more people who know how to make soap. There are yet more people who have found themselves with old controllers whose buttons no longer function. Yet I have never before seen something like digital soaps.

The creator of DigitalSoaps had some punny comments on their merchandise: “Fight viruses and malicious spyware with my super duper soaps. I specialize in the manufacture of PCs - Personal Cleansers - in unique geeky shapes.”

Xbox controller scented with Mountain Dew fragrance... how appropriate.

NES Controller soap in situ, adding to what seems to be the start of an awesome interior design project.

Some internet sleuthing (care of a Google Image search—okay, so I’m not Sherlock) has uncovered that there are indeed more geeky soap-makers out there. This includes Paizo, the makers of some beautiful soaps embedded with dice, giving nerds a much needed reward for washing their hands!

The best of the bunch, in my humble opinion.

In Russia, one can get soap that pays tribute to Gmail. A little creepy, if you ask me. But I suppose we’re used to blatant branding by now.

Of course, this adapts the "washing out one's mouth with soap" to those dirty typing fingers.

I think one of my favourite nerd soaps has to be Yeduo’s mouse soap. I think you can see why.

Tee hee, action shot.

There are also coffee-scented Hearthstone soaps… quite convincing.

There. Now, are you all feeling nice and ready to hop into the bath tub and bathe in the scented soapy glory of your geekdom?

(Note: The author of this blog does not in any way discriminate against those who chose gaming as their favourite hobby, and any stereotypes perpetuated in this text are so done with comraderie and self-deprication. Just sayin'.)
