Soap gripper vs Soap dish: What’s the difference?

A soap gripper is different from a soap dish. A soap dish is an open container where you place a bar of soap after use. A soap gripper stays embedded inside the flesh of the soap for the bar’s entire lifetime. 

Both are used near a sink, shower, or bathtub. Once you start using a soap gripper, you don’t need a soap dish at all.

How to attach a soap gripper onto a bar of soap?

When you open a new bar of soap, place the soap gripper on a sturdy surface and press down with your body weight, in order to embed all of the prongs into the surface of the soap bar flesh.

For extra hard bars, microwave the soap bar for 15 seconds before you palm-press the soap gripper hooks securely into the bar surface. Please don’t microwave a plastic or metal soap gripper.

Graycare is NOT a doctor.

How long have soap grippers existed?

A good soap gripper hasn’t been around forever. Back in the 2000s, some caregiver inventors rigged up a flexible plastic suction cup soap gripper. 

The suction cup was supposed to stay stuck to the slippery bar of soap. The clear ring was supposed to fit around your finger while scrubbing with bar soap. Sadly, this indearring attempt at a soft PVC prototype of a suction cup soap gripper has been discontinued on Caregiver Products (.com).
