Soap is hard to store in a moving vehicle: if left wet anywhere it quickly turns into a soaked mixture, and we didn’t want to store it in a plastic container. We initially tried to hang it on a piece of rope, but with the movement it would shred in pieces as soon as we were driving. So I created this cotton pocket, and it’s perfect! It dries well, and doesn't make any mess.
