Benefits of technology

[0020]ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for washing the skin of a person that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
[0021]STILL ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for washing the skin of a person that is simple to use.

Problems solved by technology

Everyone has had the unfortunate experience where they have the warm water running to wash their face or body and then pick up a bar of soap to find that it has several unsightly hairs stuck to it.
This happens because the bar of soap is uncovered and left exposed to collect dust, dirt and hair.
The perimeter of the outwardly extending flaps of the soap grip is not sewn to allow more efficient soap flow through the material.
Furthermore, even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, accordingly, they would not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.
