This mother reviews bars of soap by eating them after she developed a bizarre craving while she was pregnant.

Khosik Assyifa, 21, from East Java, Indonesia, said she began licking the chemical-packed products two years while she was carrying her first child.

She was so embarrassed by her odd addiction that she would lock herself in the toilet with a mouthful of suds - even keeping it secret from her husband.

Assyifa's child, Mo, was born in 2017 and even though her cravings subsided, the new mother continued eating soap.

She now has thousands of followers online after she began posting reviews of different brands of soap.

Footage shows how she gets the bar of soap in her mouth and licks her lips as she swallows the suds.

Khosik said her unique method of reviewing the soap gives her a better insight into their quality.

She said: ''There is nobody else that does this. I am the only person who can tell a brand of soap by the taste.

''It all started when I tasted the soap by accident while I was in the shower. It was fruity so I began sucking the bar. That's when I started to enjoy it and do it more.

''People enjoy my reviews. I can tell the best type of soap by how it tastes on the tongue.''

Khosik said she has never felt unwell after consuming the soap. Her baby was also healthy.

She added: ''I've never experienced any side effects or been unwell because of eating the soap.''
