Loofah, washcloth, brush, mitt: each has its moment. Meet the net that bunches for lather and stretches between both hands to work across your back, with exfoliating texture and pressure you control.

Meet the net
Gathered in your palm.

The pouf

Loofah · Great entrance. Short reach.

“Hi, I'm your loofah. Give me body wash and I'll bring the bubbles. But the middle of your back? I can only go as far as the hand holding me.”

A familiar cloth. A reach to work for.

The washcloth

Washcloth · Familiar. A little work behind the scenes.

“Hi, I'm your washcloth. Soft, simple, always in the bathroom. Now for your back: grab a corner, try another angle, switch hands. We may need a plan.”

Three exfoliating mitts hanging on hooks
A mitt for each hand.

The mitt

Exfoliating mitt · Your hand's very committed assistant.

“Hi, I'm your mitt. Arms? Ready. Legs? Let's go. The middle of your back? I still need your hand to get there first.”

A long-handled bath brush
A handle for the reach.

The brush

Bath brush · Reach, with an angle to negotiate.

“Hi, I'm your bath brush. I brought the handle, so yes, I've got reach. Now let's find the angle that works behind your shoulders.”

“It's just what I needed to reach my back and it feels so good.”
Karen Lamb · Verified buyer
An end in each hand. A longer reach.

Now give the net a turn.

Grab one end of the Ember & Root net in each hand and work it across your back. The length gives you a different way to reach, while the flexible shape lets you adjust your grip and movement.

The knots help physically buff away dead skin for a softer feel as you wash. You control the pressure, and you can change the shape for the next area without picking up another tool.

Bunch for control. Stretch for reach.

Bunched in your hand

Gather the net for lather and for washing your arms and legs. Fold a smaller section when you want to guide the texture around elbows and knees. Use a gentle pressure that feels comfortable.

Stretched between your hands

Hold both ends and bring the flexible length across your back. Watch the demonstration: the difference is how the tool is held and moved, with an end in each hand rather than a hand-sized surface or rigid handle.

Final act: rinse, hang, done.

Use your regular body wash, adjust your grip as you move and rinse the net after use. Hang it to dry and follow its care directions. The routine can stay simple even when the tool does more than one job.

Good to know

Questions people ask before they buy.

But my brush already reaches my back.
A handled brush can reach your back. The net offers a different kind of handling: flexible length between two hands, plus a shape you can gather for the rest of your body. If you'd like one tool that can move between those positions, the net is worth a look. The choice is about which grip and movement work for your shower.
Will it feel too rough?
You set the pressure. Start light on wet skin with plenty of soap, and press harder only where you want more scrub.
It looks thin. Is there enough net?
It is an open net, not a towel, so it looks thin when you stretch it out. Bunch it up in your hand for a thick, soapy scrub, then open it out to reach your back.
How long is it?
About 40 inches. Hold one end in each hand to reach across your back.
How long does it last?
It is made to last up to a year. Rinse it and hang it open after each shower.
How much is shipping, and how long does it take?
US shipping is $7.99, and free on orders of $65 or more. Orders take 1–3 business days to process, then 5–10 business days to arrive.
What if I don’t like it?
You have 30 days to try it. If it is not for you, contact us and get your money back, even after use.

A little care, after every shower

Rinse. Hang. Ready for next time.

Rinse out soap, squeeze away excess water and hang the net open between uses. Start with light pressure on damp skin; adjust to what feels comfortable.
