SoapSox® began when our founder Ray Phillips worked as a Program Director at Hillsides Home for Children. A residential treatment facility for children who had experienced trauma. Ray found that one of the most challenging times of the day was bath time. Children would argue, cry, and even attempt to hide to avoid taking a bath. After repeated struggles with one child who could not part with his favorite stuffed animal to bathe. Ray came up with the idea of modifying another stuffed animal to hold soap. The child was presented with the then modified stuffed animal and agreed to bathe. Ray continued to use this strategy over the years of working with children until learning that no product like it existed on the market.

Since then, and because of folks like you, SoapSox has grown to include more products to help make bath time more of what it should be. Fun for kids and easy for parents, but also a safe place to relax, play, laugh, and bond.

Given that SoapSox was created in the halls of a facility that helped protect children from abuse. We've committed ourselves to this cause. As we grow, we aim to provide more support to organizations that help to provide safe places for children.
