Abstract

A soap grip for a bar of soap provides a flexible fabric gripping body that extends through a medial portion of a bar of soap so as to extend from a first end and a second end thereof, the gripping body provides finger holes extending outwardly from the ends of the bar of soap to allow for secure gripping of the bar of soap while bathing.

Claims (15)

1. A soap gripping apparatus comprising:

a body of soap having a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, a top surface, a bottom surface, and a medial portion between the first end and the second end, between the first side and the second side, and between the top surface and the bottom surface; and

a flexible, generally planar, gripping body comprising non-woven fabric material having a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side, and a width between the first side and the second side, the gripping body defining a plurality of spaced apart holes between the first end and the second end and between the first side and the second side;

wherein the gripping body is located within the body of soap, passes through the medial position, extends outwardly from one end of the body soap, and includes a first hole of the plurality of spaced apart holes outward of the first end of the body of soap, and a second hole outward of the second end of the body of soap; and

wherein the first hole is amply sized to receive a user's finger and provide a secure means of gripping the body of soap.

2. The soap gripping apparatus of claim 1 wherein the width of the gripping body is reduced between the first end and the second end of the gripping body.

3. The soap gripping apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a surface texture extending entirely about the gripping body that enhances engagement with the body of soap.

4. The soap gripping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the non-woven material comprises cotton.

5. The soap gripping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the non-woven material comprises Tyvek.

6. The soap gripping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the gripping body has an hourglass shape.

7. A soap gripping apparatus comprising:

a flexible, generally planar, non-woven fabric gripping body having a rough surface texture extending entirely thereabout, a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, and a width between the first side and the second side, the gripping body defining a plurality of spaced apart finger holes between the first end and the second end and between the first side and the second side, and wherein the width of the gripping body is reduced at a medial portion between the first end and the second end; and

a body of soap having a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, a top surface, a bottom surface, and a medial portion between the first end and the second end, between the first side and the second side, and between the top surface and the bottom surface;

wherein the gripping body is carried within the body of soap, passes through the medial portion of the body of soap, extends outwardly from the first end and the second end of the body of soap, includes a first hole of the plurality of spaced apart holes outward of the first end of the body of soap, and includes a second hole of the plurality of spaced apart holes outward of the second end of the body of soap; and

wherein the first hole is amply sized to receive a user's finger and provide a secure means of gripping the body of soap.
