Abstract: A bar soap casing comprising a netted tulle fabric sheath for a bar of soap, the sheath having exactly two layers of tulle fabric substantially covering the bar of soap and free of stitching, the sheath having a resilient, self-closing aperture at one end to permit the introduction of a bar of soap and to inhibit the exit of an enclosed bar of soap, wherein the self-closing aperture includes an elastic band comprised of gum rubber and affixed to a medial point of a tulle fabric tube with a knot which is transferred from the band to two or more strands of the tulle netting by a knot transfer technique involving the stretching of the band in the manufacturing process, and a braided cotton hanging cord affording an implement for hanging and drying the casing and affording a tethering loop to go about the wrist to prevent dropping of the casing during the bathing process.
