The easiest way to get the soap out of the mold is to gently pull the sides away first, if you notice any resistance or any soap sticking to the mold stop and try again in another day or so! If you can pull the sides away easily then turn the mold over and while pulling the sides away with your fingers, gently press all along the bottom of the mold with your thumbs to get some air under the soap and break the seal. You will feel the soap slowly releasing from the bottom at that point use one hand to catch the soap as it falls out! If you try all this and still have trouble, try popping the soap into the freezer for about 15 min or so and then try again. It should release easier after that! :)
