Review title is Nice solution to using all of the bar of soap [SEP] I've been using liquid body wash years but started thinking about the plastic waste from the bottles and went looking for a solution that would allow me to use bar soap but not end up with the slivers left over. This seems like a reasonable compromise. The mesh bags hold the soap and allow you to use all of it, down to the very last tiny piece. They foam up nice and the mesh bag provides a bit of scrubbing like I'd get from a standard shower puff. It's a bit tricky to use when switching from hand to hand as you have to try and keep the drawstring closed so the soap doesn't fall out but the drawstring is what allows you to hang the bag after your shower, which keeps it from getting sticky and covered in slime. That's the reason I went with mesh instead of a natural, woven material as a lot of the comments were that the bags disintegrated quickly and got sticky and gummy because they couldn't dry properly between uses.<br /><br />These seem sturdy enough like they'll last through several bars of soap. And the pack of 20 means I'll have enough for me (a single person) to last for awhile.<br /><br />The reason I deducted a star is the excessive packaging. The irony for me is that I got these to get away from buying plastic bottles (that can be recycled). These came individually wrapped, wrapped together in another bag, inside a bigger bag - none of which can be recycled. Seems a bit excessive for mesh bags.
