1. Use them like chalk to draw a crack on the mirror for Halloween or April Fool's Day.
2. Collect in a drawstring nylon mesh bag to scrub with in the shower.
3. Use them like a blade to help scrape paint off hands. Rub dishwashing soap over the dry hands like a hand lotion beforehand, scrape and start the water running.
4. Use as a lubricant for toy wheels. Take wheel off and punch the sliver over the axle, replace wheel.
5. If you have a wooden drawer that's sticky, try rubbing the bare wood part of the runners with the soap slivers.
No. 1 is the best tho'

My husband uses bar soap... I use liquid. When the bar gets too small to handle, he pushes it onto a new bar of soap that's wet. With a few good rubs, it sticks to the new bar and they become one, with use.
My youngest son has a sponge, covered in mesh, that is actually made for the small slivers of soap. He just pushes the small piece into the sponge and uses it in the shower. It has a drawstring that pulls the bag/sponge closed, after he's inserted the soap.

Yes! Save them up, be sure to let them dry (in a glass open jar or something like that) Take the "slivers" and place them in a small clean sock with a loop of ribbon attached. This makes a great ready to go wash cloth. After use just hang to dry for the next use.

Most people I know simply throw them out.
There are a few who simply stick it into the next bar of soap. Then there are some more of the ones who have not used bar soap in years. since they claim that liquid soap is more sanitary especially when used by multiple members of the family.
Depending on how your family react to recycled bar soap(Ewww Mom !I) think that you can mold them into a ball and put it to use in the garage sink or garden area sink where only you can use it to wash your hands there instead of a new bar of soap for those areas. Its your house.

If the Slivers aren't to small, Some Mechanics as well as myself have been known to use them,to stop the Squealing of an Automobile Serpentine Belt as well as a Regular Belt of an automobile.

I agree with the sticking it to the new bar of soap... but they also make a sponge called a 'soap saver' you just put your soap inside of it and use the sponge to wash with in the shower, when it gets small you just stick a new bar inside with the small piece.

1. Keep a bunch of them, boil them in little water and make a new soapbar.
2. Fill nailholes on walls, but toothpaste is better.
3. Once dry, use them to draw or write on cloth... For tailoring or just because. Lines will go in next wash.

When your sliver is soft from using it , just press it on to the new bar. It will stick to it and soon be used up.
