Soap-on-a-Rope Bags are a great way to keep your soaps from sitting in water in the shower, on your soap trays or just to keep everyone in the family's soap identified.  They also provide an important and easy way to keep your skin exfoliated. I have been testing these new bags from my supplier and here is what I think.
 
The Soap Bags are very much like the ones I have carried in the past although the material is softer and the bag doesn't have as many layers, I think.  They seem like they will last as long as the others, but, time will tell.  Like the old bags, they are not meant to last forever at the price point they are at.  
 
The Clear Soap Pockets are much thinner than the ones I sold previously.  However, I do like them with one caveat:  there is no positive stop to keep the bag closed.  I originally put my slivers in this bag and since there is no cinch lock, the bits fell out.
