A soap holder 10 comprises a reversible elastic wristband having a dual-sided face 20. A first side of the face 20 has an indentation 30 for receiving a piece of solid soap. A second side of the face is provided with a waterproof watch or other functional device, or a decorative surface. In normal wear, the soap holder 10 is worn on the wrist of a user with the second side facing outwards. When the user wishes to wash, the wristband is reversed so that the first side faces outwards. The face 20 is moved to the palm of the user. A piece of soap is pressed into the indentation 30 and the user is conveniently able to wash themselves.
