A soap dispenser's material should be strong and durable. The material affects its capabilities and longevity. Glass, ceramic, bronze, stainless steel, brass, and plastic are common materials.
Plastic soap dispensers can last for a while if the plastic is of high quality. These are suitable for those on a tight budget.
Stainless steel, brass, and bronze soap dispensers are stronger and more durable compared to other materials.
Glass and ceramic soap dispensers are fragile, so they may not be the best choice for bathrooms frequently use by children.
