Fi all a di tugz dem who don't feel comfortable bending and picking up the soap while showering (tubs only).
All you av to do is, go as far as possible to the end with the pipes facing the back of the shower. The back end of the tub should av a slight 100 to 120 degree slant. This allows it to act as ramp instead of a 90 degee vertical wall. What u want to do is ,kick the soap almost as hard as possible (with your foot already close to the soap and not enough room to swing, it should be safe to kick real hard). The soap shoud slide up the back end of the tub, ricochet off the wall and BAM!! you can catch it standing at ur full height, no bending required.
