       4 . The container of  claim 3 , wherein the plastic is polyethylene terephthalate.  
   
   
       5 . The container of  claim 1 , having a volume from about 10 ml to about 5000 ml.  
   
   
       6 . The container of  claim 3 , wherein the plastic has a light transmission of at least about 70%.  
   
   
       7 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the helical grip contains a textured region.  
   
   
       8 . The container of  claim 1 , having two helical grips.  
   
   
       9 . The container of  claim 1 , formed by blow-molding.  
   
   
       10 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the helical grip has a width from about 1 mm to about 15 cm.  
   
   
       11 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprising a sealing mechanism functionally connected to the opening.  
   
   
       12 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the sealing mechanism is selected from diaphragm valves, ball valves, slit valves, press taps, self-draining spouts, traditional spouts, divided spouts, screw caps, pull caps, snap caps, flip caps, vented caps, and combinations thereof.  
   
   
       13 . A container for containing a laundry product comprising a first helical grip and a second helical grip translating down the container, wherein the container has an opening.  
   
   
       14 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the structure is made from a plastic.  
   
   
       15 . The container of  claim 14 , wherein the plastic is selected from high density polyethylene, polymethylmethacrylate, polycarbonate, diethyleneglycol bisarylcarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, epoxy resin, polyamide-based resins, low density polyethylene, styrene butadiene copolymers, acrylonitrile, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, cellulose acetate butyrate and mixtures thereof.  
   
   
       16 . The container of  claim 15 , wherein the plastic is polyethylene terephthalate.  
   
   
       17 . The container of  claim 13 , having a volume from about 10 ml to about 5000 ml.  
   
   
       18 . The container of  claim 14 , wherein the plastic has a light transmission of at least about 70%.  
   
   
       19 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the helical grip contains a textured region.  
   
   
       20 . The container of  claim 13 , having two helical grips.  
   
   
       21 . The container of  claim 13 , formed by blow-molding.  
   
   
       22 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein the helical grip has a width from about 1 mm to about 15 cm.  
   
   
       23 . The container of  claim 13 , further comprising a sealing mechanism functionally connected to the opening.
