ABSTRACT:
This invention is a washcloth adapted for retaining a bar of soap for use in the bath or shower. The washcloth is fabricated from a continuous, tubular elastic cloth cut into predetermined lengths and stitched together at a closed end forming an internal pocket in a manner similar to that of a conventional sock. An open end of the internal pocket includes an elastic band stitched about the perimeter of the open end which contracts to retain the bar of soap after it has been inserted into the washcloth. Embedded in the elastic band at regular intervals are a plurality of retaining ridges which are disposed inwardly and elastomerically biased to contact the end surface of the bar of soap thereby retaining it within the washcloth. A pair of pull rings are attached to the elastic band and function as finger holds for leverage when inserting the bar of soap into the washcloth. The washcloth contracts to conform to the bar of soap as it is dispensed and used up thereby reducing soap wastage.
