Abstract
A container used to hold and transport items that get wet during use such as bar soap, razors, toothbrushes and clothing. Ducts in the container allow drier air from outside the container to mix with moist air inside the container to aid in the drying process. The ducts protrude into the container such that the openings in the ducts are presented above the level of any liquid dripping from the wet items regardless of the container's orientation. Thus, retaining the relatively small amount of liquid droplets and providing ventilation for drying. An embodiment can also arrange the position of the ducts to aid in the retention of the contained items to limit the movement of contents during transport.
