Soap Bank allows small pieces of soap to be saved so that the entire bar can be finished.

As a bar of soap is used and becomes smaller, it also gets harder to manipulate. It might also break into smaller pieces. Soap Bank has been designed to save these small pieces of soap – much like a savings bank. They are deposited through a small hole and collected in a net attached to the main body of Soap Bank, which is made of rubber. The user can conveniently remove the magnetically-attached net with the soap in it and use it to make the perfect lather. A suction pad allows the Soap Bank to be attached to the wall of a bathroom.
