Abstract: This cover for toiletries has a main body and a cord holder, such as a button, that is attached to an outer side of the main body. The cord holder has at least two opposed flanges that extend over portions of the outer side of the main body, and a gripping surface between the flanges and the main body. One end of a cord is attached to the main body. The cord has a stretchable section and a special gripping part. The gripping part is spaced at a distance from the attached end of the cord and has a coefficient of friction with respect to the gripping surface that holds a half winding of the cord between the opposed flanges and the outer side of the main body of the cover against a half pound of tension in the cord. In some instances, the outer side of the cover is more textured than the inner side. The cord can be relatively long and made of twisted silk or beaded elastic, and have a spring constant of between 1/8 and 1 pounds/inch.
