I thought I would try this with my soap. Good decision. Those squishy things that you buy at Walmart are not really healthy. They are a bacteria fest for your skin. The soap bag is a whole different beast. The material is made.. can be hung up and dried. The soap is already in your hand when you use the bag. It can also be washed if necessary. All in all I am pleased I decided to try this different way to enjoy my soap and results
