  • Patent number: 8814457
    Abstract: A soap holding and scrubbing device for holding soap and allowing a user to scrub his or her body. An example soap holding and scrubbing device comprises a porous tubular housing having a first end, a second end, and an outer surface. A seam is formed in the housing with the seam extending above the outer surface of the housing. A closing mechanism closes the second end of the housing. A securing mechanism secures the soap between the seam and the second end of the housing and maintains the soap within the housing. The first end of the housing is open with the soap insertable into the housing through the first end and positionable against the closed second end. The securing mechanism is initially positioned against the seam and, as the soap dissolves, is movable in general direction toward the second end of the housing thereby maintaining the soap against the second end of the housing.
