Are self-draining silicone soap dishes actually better than ceramic?

For shower use, the consensus across high-trust testing and r/ZeroWaste discussion is yes — angled silicone with deep ridges drains faster and is easier to rinse clean than flat ceramic. For a bathroom sink or guest vanity, ceramic and resin/marble options win on appearance, and reviewers say their drainage is adequate as long as the design is tilted rather than flat-bottomed.
