This is the Bath Mitt I created for camping trips because it stays on my hand well in the shower.

The two sided pattern means there is a smooth side for delicate areas, and a patterned side for tougher grime.

The hanging cord is ideal to keep it safe & dry between uses.

A quick guest & shower gift or welcome Christmas treat with a scrumptious bar of luxury soap!
