     (h) BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a shower rod that may be positioned in a shower. A bottle is provided and the bottle may contain a fluid. The bottle has a top end and a bottom end. The top end is open to release the fluid. A pouch is suspended from the shower rod. The bottle is insertably positioned in the pouch. Moreover, the bottle is inverted in the pouch. Thus, the fluid is gravitationally urged out of the top end. 
     There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. 
     There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. 
     The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. 
    
    
     
       (i) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S) 
       The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein: 
         FIG. 1  is a perspective view of a bottle holding system according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         FIG. 2  is a front view of a pouch of an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         FIG. 3  is a perspective view of a pouch of an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         FIG. 4  is a top view of a pouch of an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         FIG. 5  is a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     
    
    
     (j) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 5  thereof, a new holding device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 5 , the bottle holding system  10  generally comprises a shower rod  12  that may be positioned in a shower. A bottle  14  is provided and the bottle  14  contains a fluid  16 . The bottle  14  has a top end  18  and a bottom end  20 . The top end  18  is open to release the fluid  16 . The bottle  14  may be a shampoo bottle  14  or the like. The fluid  16  may be shampoo or the like. 
     A pouch  22  is provided. The pouch  22  is suspended from the shower rod  12 . The bottle  14  is insertably positioned in the pouch  22 . The bottle  14  is inverted in the pouch  22 . Thus, the fluid  16  is gravitationally urged out of the top end  18 . 
     The pouch  22  has an upper end  24 , a lower end  26  and an outer wall  28  extending therebetween. Each of the upper end  24  and the lower end  26  is open. The outer wall  28  is continuous such that the pouch  22  as a cylindrical shape. The outer wall  28  tapers inwardly between the upper end  24  and the lower end  26 . The outer wall  28  is comprised of a resiliently stretchable material. 
     A first strap  30  is coupled to the pouch  22 . The first strap  30  has a distal end  32  with respect to the upper end  24  of the pouch  22 . A second strap  34  is coupled to the pouch  22 . The second strap  34  has a distal end  36  with respect to the upper end  24  of the pouch  22 . 
     Each of the first strap  30  and the second strap  34  is draped around the shower rod  12 . The distal end  32  of the first strap  30  is matable with the distal end  36  of the second strap  34 . Thus, the pouch  22  is retained on the shower rod  12 . A first coupler  38  may be coupled to the first strap  30  and the first coupler  38  may be aligned with the distal end  32  of the first strap  30 . A second coupler  40  may be coupled to the second strap  34  and the second coupler  40  may be aligned with the distal end  32  of the second strap  34 . Each of the first coupler  38  and the second coupler  40  may comprise complementary hook and loop fasteners or the like. 
     In use, each of the first strap  30  and the second strap  34  are draped over the shower rod  12 . The first strap  30  is mated to the second strap  34 . Thus, the pouch  22  is suspended from the shower rod  12 . The bottle  14  is positioned on the pouch  22  having the top end  18  of the bottle  14  extending outwardly from the lower end  26  of the pouch  22 . Thus, the fluid  16  in the bottle  14  collects in the top end  18  of the bottle  14 . The fluid  16  is selectively dispensed from the top end  18  for bathing purposes. 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. 
     A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
