OH my gosh!!! I thought I was alone, I crave eating soap.... I don't eat a whole lot, I'd just take a bite or scrape some off its just so soothing to me!!! Is that weird??? The Taste of the soap in my mouth is just awesome the ones I've tried so far are the Irish spring(original) safeguard, zest, I can't even remember them all I don't know why but I just crave it even before I got pregnant, during my pregnancy I tried not eating it but couldn't beat the urge I stopped while breastfeeding but as soon as I stop the urges came back, I find the urges strong when I'm stressed out, but I can remember starting to eat soap from I was about 11 years old or so

I've craved and eaten soap since I was a kid. I usually just lick the bar and rinse my mouth but recently I've started biting off small pieces. The brands like are the original Irish spring , coast , dial (mountain fresh and spring water) and dove.

I'm obsessed w/the scent and taste of green Irish spring, coast and different varieties of dial. I would just sniff the soap but after a while that didn't satisfy my craving so I started taking tiny bites. I also love the gain scented febreze.

Pica is more common that I thought. The soaps I like the best are green Irish spring, blue coast and aloe scented ivory. I crave soap along with the white clay dirt.

My pica started when I was 7 but I only sniffed the soap then. I started eating dial gold around 12. The soaps tasted are green tea dove, Irish spring, blue coast, aloe scented ivory and spring water dial. So far, I think is Irish spring is my fav :P. I love the taste of soap but I know it's not healthy for me.

Hello, guest.
It is essential to seek professional help from a healthcare provider, such as a psychologist or a psychiatrist, who can evaluate your condition and provide appropriate treatment. The treatment for pica may vary depending on the severity of the condition, underlying causes, and other factors.
In general, treatment may involve a combination of behavioral therapy, medication, and nutritional counseling. Behavioral therapy can help you identify and change the thoughts and behaviors that lead to pica, as well as develop healthy coping skills and habits. Medication may be prescribed to treat any underlying mental health conditions, such as anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder, which may contribute to pica.
Nutritional counseling can help you develop a healthy and balanced diet, which may reduce the cravings for non-food items. It is essential to avoid triggers, such as keeping soap and other non-food items out of your reach, and finding alternative ways to cope with stress and anxiety, such as practicing relaxation techniques or engaging in physical activity.
With proper treatment and support, it is possible to overcome pica and improve your overall health and well-being. Good luck with your efforts.
