Abstract: A bathing device has outlet and inlet sides and defines an enclosure. Outlet and inlet sides are permeable to allow water flow through the enclosure. The enclosure is sized to receive soap and to form an air pocket adjacent to the soap, which may be in the form of a bar, a liquid or a gel. A zipper on the inlet side provides access to the enclosure interior. An absorbent member is located proximate the inlet side of the enclosure. In use, soap is located within the compartment. Water is flowed through the inlet side of the enclosure, through the absorbent member and into the soap compartment for mixing the soap and water. Water and dissolved soap are then delivered through the outlet side. Twisting the enclosure about the soap increases mixing as does squeezing the absorbent material to displace water through the outlet side of the enclosure.
