Did a quick view n buy. I usually buy the leather gamosas here. I noticed they were even better priced this time around. The gentleman inside gave a quick tutorial on how to activate their softness before use. One once done n it will be ready to go. I use these skins to clean glass, silver n ever to dry the car. I would do business with them again in the future.

My wife and I travel to Florida a few years ago and visited this place. We love their soap and other products. If we are unable to get there in person we make sure to order!

My wife and I first found Lori's Soaps & Sponges Exchange on a visit to Tarpon Springs. We loved the massive selection of soaps to choose from. When our soaps were running low, we had to have more. Living out of the area, I decided to order some soap online. The ordering process was easy and shipment was fast. The product was well package too. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you stop by. You'll be hooked!

This is one of my favorite stores & products in the entire world! First off, if you've never bought one of their soap sponges... stop what you're doing and get one. Seriously. LIFE-CHANGING. How it smells and the way it feels on your skin and the way that it leaves your skin feeling afterwards is like no other soap I've ever used! They home-make their products using natural ingredients and local deep sea sponges which is so neat. The store itself, if you're local, is the cutest place (and just again...smells AMAZING). And the prices are so affordable! My mom & I buy several of them every Mother

Love, love, love this place. I visit a few times a year to stock up on my favorite soaps. My kids (boys) like picking out their scents. I also buy extras and hand out as gifts. Definitely recommend if you're passing though.

Sweet little soap shop! Cute older Greek couple runs it (i think). Tons of sponge options but the best part of this shop is the soaps infused in the sponges. 4 for $20! Not cheap but last a long time. And you can keep using the sponges after the soap is used up.

This is another soap shop in the heart of Tarpon Springs. The soaps ingredients are goat milk & olive oil - combined with some scent - some scents better than others in my personal opinion. They also sell lotions for body and face. Tried a few although only purchased some soaps. Prices are very reasonable especially if you buy in bulk.

The soaps last a very long time. There's a scent for everyone. The lotions are all natural, working well for those with sensitive skin. Buy a bunch and the lady at the register might toss in a special soap or cream as a token of appreciation. I buy just enough to have to come back to Tarpon every year or so. It's a good strategy.

A great shop to stop by for sponges and goat milk soaps. Sponges are a good price, size and variety compared to nearly shops and the women working there were extremely friendly! I ended up grabbing some sponges and soaps for myself and as gifts.

Love, Love, LOVE Lori's Soaps!

Discovered this wonderful little shop a couple years back when we first moved to Tarpon Springs.

The soap is made with olive oil and goat's milk and there are so many wonderful scents available. You can get soaps poured onto sponges ($20 for 4) which make terrific gifts. They also have Africa Black Soap which is a novelty.

Soap isn't all you'll find, though! Sponges (go with a wool sponge - $5.95 for small or $11.95 for large), vase sponges, shampoos, conditioner, lotions, foot salts, face cream, and gift sets. No matter what you choose, you

The best soap in the world!! I have very sensitive skin and the goat milk soaps are the only soaps that leave my skin smelling good and feeling smooth. I love the lavender most but all of them are great.

I absolutely love this place. I received a gift set from here last Christmas and I've been using their soaps ever since. I have eczema and their goats milk soap works wonders. The place smells amazing! The scents are not overpowering which is surprising considering the huge variety of soaps. The staff is amazing and knowledge. Don't be afraid to ask questions. The prices are reasonable. They offer online shopping but trust me you want to visit the store and smell everything! They also offer a huge variety of sponges for all your household needs. This is the only soap we use at home to

My husband visited here and got me a gift set with several goat's milk soap and a sponge, and also a coconut body cream. OMG. This is absolutely the best soap and sponge I've ever used. The scent is so pleasant and it's all natural so you get that earth smell and feeling. It makes my skin feel like silk!!! My husband said it wasn't expensive either. (I usually use Ahava body soap at $20+ a bottle and this stuff is waaaaay way way waaaaay better than that.) I don't live in FL so I sure hope they take orders online! These products are freakin out of this world amazing!

Lori's Soaps is the long-time favorite place to shop along the Sponge Docks for homemade soaps, lotions, and sea sponges. Unfortunately there are lots of tourists wandering this part of Dodecanese Boulevard, and so you'll have to weave your way past all of the gawkers before I could get back to the sponges and health & beauty items.

The folks who work there are very nice, and they answered a lot of questions about which products work best for people with skin allergies and eczema. Thankfully that's not a problem for me, but it is nice to know that there are places selling products

I have eczema - sometimes it's alright, sometimes I break out based on environmental conditions. What I can control are the products I apply to my skin. The soaps I get from the supermarket - while good - did make me break out. The products from this place are the only natural product that helps - and it smells so good. Additionally, the soaps are - also - produced with a natural sponge inside them so lathering and scrubbing can be combined into one step (I know, as a dude saving time is important).

I highly recommend getting personal care items from this place. It's absolutely incredible

This place has excellent goats milk soaps. Every scent imaginable is packed into this place. It is a bright and cheery store. They also sell sponges and gift sets. They wrap the soaps you choose individually when you pay. I have bought soaps from other soap shops in Tarpon but they don't lather like the soaps I bought from Lori's.

The owner of this store is the nicest woman you will ever meet (maybe because she is from my home state of Indiana?). This store is heaven. Tons of scents, but not overpowering. Lots of sponges, with what seem to be the best prices on the docks.

No trip to the Sponge Docks is complete without purchasing one of Lori's lovely soaps or natural sponges. The soaps come in a variety of scents and are made with goat's milk so the soap leaves your skin feeling super soft! I especially like the bars of soap that contain a sponge and the salt scrubs with olive oil.

The owner of the store is so nice and she can tell you about every product she carries and the benefits from her soaps and scrubs. She'll also inform you of the best ways to maintain your sponge. The prices are reasonable considering the great quality of the products
