Lush creates SINGING soap record which plays Happy Birthday twice to remind people to wash hands amid COVID-19 crisis

EVER since the coronavirus crisis broke, we've all been told to wash our hands for at least 20 seconds at a time - in other words, the amount of time it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice.

But just when we thought we couldn't bear to sing it to ourselves any longer, Lush has gone and created an actual singing soap RECORD which does it for us.

At face value, this yellow record-shaped soap looks like any other one of Lush's quirky designs - after all, who could forget the brand's glow-in-the-dark ghost or cheeky Valentine's Day peach bath bombs?

However, once you actually put this soap-vinyl on a record player, it'll play Happy Birthday back-to-back.

But how exactly does it work? Similar to a normal record, the music is cut into the disc but instead of having a metal framework, the Lush one is made out of layers of soap. Genius.

What's more, the soap is scented with Lush's best-selling candy bubblegum fragrance Snow Fairy - so you'll have no issues getting your little ones to use it.

And considering how often we're all having to wash our hands amid the coronavirus outbreak, the soap is also infused with rapeseed oil to make it extra moisturising.

Sadly, the soap isn't available to buy online but the brand teased customers with a clip of the record on its YouTube channel.

According to the , the vinyl is available to purchase at their flagship store in Liverpool and was originally developed to play for in-store birthday parties.
