Abstract
A soap saving device for pressure bonding two or more pieces of soap, comprising a one-piece structure which is an elongated, thin, flexible plastic strap. The strap includes a central section which serves as a supporting base for the pieces of soap which are to be bonded together, and a locking handle section extending from each side of the supporting base. When the handle sections are locked together so as to envelop two or more pieces of soap placed on the supporting base, the force exerted on the soap pieces by the tensioned strap pressure bonds these pieces into a usable bar. In a modification, a plastic soap retaining dish having a hinged clamping tab is substituted for one of the locking handle sections.
