Abstract
The washcloth includes a pouch with an opening, the opening having an elastic fabric around the perimeter of the opening enabling the opening to be stretched to fit a soap bar larger than the opening itself and into the pouch. The soap bar is inserted into the pouch, thereby enabling a person to hold and use the soap bar and washcloth concurrently while bathing or showering. The washcloth enables a person to wash a portion of the body with one hand while holding the washcloth with the soap bar in direct contact with the body while the soap bar is retained in the pouch. The flexible opening also maintains the soap bar in the pouch as the soap bar being used by the person in the shower or bath shrinks. The washcloth may also be inverted and soap is applied indirectly to a portion of the body through the washcloth.
