Using all my wonderful soap slivers! [SEP] A friend makes soap which is excellent so I refuse to throw away the slivers--but they were piling up and impossible to use, so I was looking for an item like this and I am perfectly happy with it.  I wrap the wash cloth around the bag,  get it quite wet and lather the cloth exactly as with a bar of soap (pulling the string out of the way).  Works great and saves all that soap.  I'll probably put bigger bars in it as the smaller ones disappear since I see no reason to wait for slivers....I find the fabric too abrasive for using the bag as a wash cloth, but can see how others might choose to do that.  I can see how the string would be useful to prevent dropping the soap in the future.  Dries just fine and blue color did not bleed onto wash cloth.....
