Inside the pod additional soap additive is housed and mesh tubing is secured and supported. On the outside, lower portion of the pod, a silicone handle allows end user to slide fingers through and palm device. The 2 pod halves are sealed together along perimeter creating a completed structure. Being lightweight, this body cleansing device can be comfortably and freely maneuvered over the skin's surface for an exhilarating cleansing experience.
