African Net Sponge Authentic,Exfoliating Body Shower Scrubber,Pink

I don't really leave reviews, but I had to for this. I've seen these on TikTok (selling for 3-4x+ the price I might add) and thought this was nothing but a sheet of loofah poof that wasn't stitched together. Not wanting to shell out the prices for the TikTok businesses, I decided to get this one and see if it was worth the hype. It's only $5, so not a big deal if it ends up being trash. Firstly, I was disappointed when I first got it because it looked much, much smaller than it does in the photos. It did feel very strong and durable and the knitting is done well. I figured I'd try to give it a go anyway and use it for my face if nothing else. However, as soon as I got into the shower and put it under the warm water, it immediately quadrupled in size and kept getting longer the more it was exposed to the warm water. It's very tightly knit and even with it stretching to such long lengths, it still maintained its durability! (I'm just about 6ft. tall to give you an idea of how long this thing stretches.) Now to the important part: The amount of dead skin that came off me was insane. INSANE. Mind you I exfoliate every time I shower and thought my skin was about as good as it could be for the average person. I was able to get into all the nooks and crannies with ease and could scrub the bottom of my feet standing up! I gave it a quick handwash before getting out of the shower, rung it out, and hung it up to dry. By the time I was done getting dressed and had my hair wrapped, it was barely damp. I had to squeeze it to feel the tiniest amount of moisture, so no more worries about mildew or other kind of buildup that usually has me replacing those cheap poofs every week or two. The hype around these on TikTok is legit, and if you haven't gotten one already because you were skeptical of the product (or the random websites selling these on that app), I'd say get one of these and just try it. I did and it's one of the best purchases I've made in years!

I have always struggled to exfoliate my body because I have very sensitive skin and usually end up covered in bumps, but now I’ve been saved! This is the first product that hasn’t irritated my skin, but it definitely gets the job done and I feel squeaky clean after each use. It’s not very soft, so if that’s what you like, this might not be product for you. I also find that it can be a little unwieldy to use because it’s very long and doesn’t like to stay bunched up when you use it like a traditional loofa, so you have to readjust it a lot. Despite that I still think it’s a great product, it just takes a little getting used to. I also love that you can use it in the long form and scrub your whole back really well. As far as hygiene goes, it dries out incredibly quickly, which is great for preventing bacterial growth and you can wash it too as long as you wash it inside of a net bag to keep it from getting tangled up in your machine. I actually love it so much that I sent one to my best friend and my mom so that they could try it too!

Got these for my myself and ordered more for my mom. We both swear by them. I have gotten soooo many compliments on how soft, glowy and radiant my skin is. My response every time, “I exfoliate”. They last forever, I wash them and they’ve done great no shedding or shredding. I use them with bar soap and body wash and they both lather really well, much better than a wash cloth. But with this, I can wash and exfoliate ALL of my back and hard to reach areas. Colors don’t bleed and very vibrant. They don’t hold smell like wash cloths and they dry really fast. They’re very easy to use and are very thick. I fold them like a wash cloth and they work perfectly!!!

If I could give it half a star, this review would be 4.5 - I'm rounding down solely because this is my first impression review and it isn't perfect. Lets be clear about one thing - I bought this because getting the back clean sucks. We all get residue build up (I know, I get sick to my stomach thinking about it too), and I get itchy from left behind dead skin. I wanted something that 1) allows me to wash my back myself and 2) will get the dead skin off, or most of it so I can tolerate it until my exfoliation scrub comes in. It seemed like every shower I was wiping away dead skin when I towel dried my legs. Rather slowly, I put two and two together and came to the conclusion that louffas just weren't cutting it for me anymore. On the hunt for something a bit more harsh and a cleaner feel, I got this and exfoliating gloves. This came the same time as the gloves, but decided this one is first. I put aside my louffa because I have trust issues, and took a shower. I was extremely skeptical and kept my louffa within reach just in case of failure. Putting some soap on it that I was sure to waste, I lathered this up. It was surprisingly easy and lathered very well. It also kept its lather as I went to work. The first thing I did was wash my back, because that's why I bought this. My curiousity took over and decided to see if I could wash my whole body. You should be gentle with the obvious spots, but otherwise, it was relatively similar pressure on the rest of my body. I went to town on my legs though, which felt amazing (ever had dead skin stay on your skin for a while? Me too). There is some shedding from it, but that's what water is for as it's mainly from the ends. The sheds rinsed of about the same time the soap did that was surrounding it. I rinsed out this thing wondering exactly how different it will be from the louffas I've used over the past 20 years. I held it in my cupped hands and let the water flow through it bouncing it back and forth like a hot potato for about 30 seconds - which is my patience level. I squeezed the water out and let the flowing water soak it again. Surprisingly, no soap at all! When I hung this up after reeming with my life force, it felt wet, but not dripping like the louffa. I towel dried my legs to see if there were any stubborn dead skin still hanging on for dear life, I was shocked to see nothing was there. For my shower experience, I was shocked at this thing. Of course, I had to tell someone I know who also doesn't get their entire back (who does?!) about tuis thing. The next thought was "I don't even know how much this is." because I don't really pay attention to the cost of things, just what it does and other reviews. Yes, I find long reviews exhausting, hence why I try to make mine entertaining at least. $6 isn't bad, but got better once I saw the magic words "machine washable". After I had dried completely, there is one pesky itchy spot on my leg and back, but I blame the leg on what looks like a bug bite and my back on my hair, because the spot is at the ends of my hair. If you're looking for clean, why not give it a try? If you're looking for exfoliation, you're looking at the wrong review still. I know very little about that world, sorry.

Exfoliates very very well better than anything else ive tried. Perfect length to scrub back but soft enough to where it doesn't hurt

Exfoliates real good

I was expecting a coarser grade of material based on the comments. The net is soft and becomes softer with each use. While it does exfoliate, I have to use too much force to get a good scrub. I wouldn't purchase again. Lathers well but I'm more interested in using as an exfoliater than to wash.

I swear this is the best it lasts basically forever and it actually exfoliates.

Its a good product if you want smooth and soft skin. Just put in hot water at first so it softens up

Funkar fint även flera månader och flera tvätt senare

I originally bought one after constantly seeing it all over Nigerian TikTok, and I'm glad I gave in because it genuinely lives up to the hype. I liked it so much that I ended up buying a few more for my parents as well. It exfoliates really well without feeling too harsh, and because it's long, it's easy to scrub your back and other hard-to-reach areas. It also creates an impressive amount of lather, so you don't need to use much shower gel to get a rich foam. After using it, my skin feels noticeably smoother and much cleaner. It's especially satisfying before applying body lotion, as my skin feels soft and refreshed afterwards. It also dries much faster than a traditional sponge, which is a nice bonus. It's one of those simple products that has made a real difference to my shower routine. Great quality, excellent exfoliation, and I'd happily recommend it.

There is no unpleasant smell when opening the product. This is one of the best quality African net cloths I’ve found on Amazon. It is designed with nylon making it rigid enough to exfoliate hard and dull skin well. My skin feels so smooth and appears much brighter and softer after using this product. The colour is very bright neon pink. The cloth dries very quickly when air drying and the design makes it harbour less bacteria than a loofa. Cloth is very long, I often have to fold it two or three times to make it reasonable size for my body (and I’m plus sized so that’s saying something!). It is a little on the expensive side but worth it for how well it washes the skin.

As a woman who regularly exfoliates I didn't think this would really work but I was pleasantly surprised. It really works and exfoliates the skin deeper level leaving it smooth. You feel like you gave yourself hamam wash.
