Our Story: How The Sack Sack Powder Applicator Was Born

October 01, 2017

"Body powder is messy."

I lost count of how many times I put that old sifter-top bottle back in the medicine cabinet, muttering the same four words: body powder is messy. But what could I do? Powder was never a priority, it was a luxury - something I used when my mornings moved at a relaxed pace. But no matter how I applied it, the outcome was the same: powder all over the floor, on my hands, in my clothes, tracked across the bathroom.

I tried it all: sprinkling powder into my underwear, the awkward crouch-and-pat method, even the classic "naked powder slap." Still, I wasted more powder than I used. I experimented with alternatives: sprays (which felt like cryogenic shock), expensive creams, and deodorant-style sticks. Some were promising, but none offered the same dry, anti-chafe feel or simple affordability of good old body powder.

What I needed wasn’t a new powder. I needed a better way to apply it.

Then one night, it hit me. I was sitting at a Tampa Bay Rays game, watching the pitcher reach for the rosin bag behind the mound (that little canvas sack used to improve grip). Rosin is the only legal powder allowed in baseball, and for good reason: pitchers can apply it quickly, cleanly, and with one hand.

That was the spark.

From Rosin Bag to Body Care Essential

Inspired by the rosin bag, I started testing fabrics (woven, knit, synthetic, natural) and looking for the perfect combo to deliver powder evenly without a mess. After dozens of prototypes, I landed on a layered textile system:

  • Outer layer: brushed cotton flannel, which traps powder in tiny air pockets until it’s gently compressed
  • Inner liner: soft cotton gauze to hold and regulate powder flow
  • Back panel: microsuede for a no-leak, great-in-hand grip

Then I added the details that make the Sack Sack a true game-changer:

  • Refillable so you can use your favorite powder
  • Machine washable for easy upkeep
  • Compact enough to fit in your dopp kit or travel bag
  • Hidden zipper and diamond-stitched surface for both function and style

Designed for Real-Life Routines

The goal was simple: take body powder from “occasional indulgence” to “daily essential.” And judging by the feedback, we’ve done just that. The Sack Sack gives you the comfort and control of powder—without the cleanup or awkward application dance.

So that’s chapter one of the Sack Sack story. Whether you're brand new to powder or a lifelong user, we hope this little invention becomes a regular part of your routine.

Stay fresh,
The Sack Sack
