Rebecca Oh thanks, I use Olive and coconut so they must be medium bubbles...... I use a lot more coconut oil than olive so I'm surprised by that then. But then again, comparing homemade soap to bought stuff might be quite different too. So how does the M&P get so lathery?

Olive oil has small bubbles, Palm, coconut and Tallow large.
