Abstract
The soap pouch is a double-layered net pouch adapted to enclose a bar of soap. The double-layered netting is fabricated from an extruded hydrophobic, thermoplastic, polymeric fiber. The netting has substantially smooth exterior surfaces and slip-fast meshes of an average width of one to twenty millimeters. The pouch is open at one end for easy replacement of soap. A drawstring is disposed at the open end for closing the open end when desired.

A soap pouch, comprising:
- inner and outer layers of netting configured to form a double-layered pouch having an open top end and a closed bottom end, the netting being fabricated from a hydrophobic, thermoplastic, polymeric fiber having a substantially smooth exterior, the netting having slip-fast meshes of an average width of about 1 to 20 millimeters;
- and
- a drawstring disposed around the open top for selectively closing the open top.
A soap pouch, comprising:
- inner and outer layers of netting configured to form a double-layered pouch having an open top end and a closed bottom end, the netting being fabricated from a hydrophobic, thermoplastic, polymeric fiber having a substantially smooth exterior, the netting having slip-fast meshes of an average width of about 1 to 20 millimeters, the fiber having a thread thickness between about 0.1 to 2 millimeters;
- and
- a drawstring disposed around the open top for selectively closing the open top.
A method of making a soap pouch, comprising the steps of:
- providing a tube of netting material, the tube having a length, the netting material being fabricated from a hydrophobic, thermoplastic, polymeric fiber having a substantially smooth exterior and having slip-fast meshes of an average width of about 1 to 20 millimeters, the fiber having a thread thickness between about 0.1 to 2 millimeters;
- positioning a ring member approximately midway along the length of the tube to close the tube midway along the length of the tube, forming two tubular segments;
- folding one of the two tubular segments over the other of the two tubular segments to form a pouch, the pouch having an open end and a closed end;
- and
- inserting a draw at the open end to selectively close the open end.
