What’s the point of a Soap Saver?

If you have someone in your household that loves to use bar soap or if you’ve switched to bar shampoo and conditioner, you’ll love the fact that a soap saver does what it says – makes your soap last longer.

On top of making those bars last longer, if the soap saver is used directly on the skin, without a washcloth, it can help to exfoliate the skin as it delivers the soap suds.

The bag is also super to prevent the bar of soap becoming too slippery when in use. You can also use the bag to hang up the bar to allow for drying.
