  • Publication number: 20120191108
    Abstract: A washcloth for exfoliating the skin comprises a primary fabric panel and a secondary fabric panel, both of which may be made from vegetable fibers from the Malvaceae family. Both panels have a front side and a back side, and on each panel, the intersection of the front side with the back side defines at least a top peripheral edge, a bottom peripheral edge, a first side peripheral edge, and a second side peripheral edge. The panels are attached to each other along their bottom peripheral edges, and along a portion of the primary panel's side peripheral edges with the entirety of the secondary panel's side peripheral edges to form a pocket between the panels. A portion of the front side of the primary panel remains exposed to be used as a washcloth. A soap product is inserted and held within the pocket to be used in bathing.

  • Patent number: 7231672
    Abstract: An undergarment in the form of boxer shorts includes a concealed inside pocket on the front panel for holding valuables and other items such as, but not limited to, a credit card, a membership or I.D. card, paper and coin currency and keys. The pocket hangs freely on the inside of the boxer shorts and is secured to the front panel at a top open pocket mouth. A horizontal slit opening on the front panel, just below the waistband of the boxer shorts, communicates with the pocket mouth to permit placement and removal of the items carried in the pocket. A zipper or other closure mechanism is provided for securing the slit opening closed, thereby safely containing the items in the pocket. Opposing flaps along the horizontal slit opening on the outside of the front panel help to conceal the pocket mouth and closure mechanism.
