  1. Week 01Learn the feel
  2. Week 02Reach the missed spots

Four weekly check-ins guide your routine. Skin response and timing vary.

“Ever since I started using it, my skin has felt softer and cleaner.”

Give the effort a better place to go.

A handful of scrub and a mitt over your fingers both depend on where your hands can reach. If your elbows, knees and back are the places you keep checking, it makes sense to look at the way you wash those areas.

The net changes the shape of the tool in your hands. Fold it when you want control over a smaller spot. Open it out to wash your arms and legs. Hold both ends to work across your back. Then use the weekly check-ins below to notice what suits your skin and your routine.

Week 01

Get to know the texture and reach.

Start with gentle pressure. The knotted mesh helps physically buff away dead skin at the surface for a softer feel. Get comfortable changing your grip before you think about doing more.

Practice holding both ends and working the net across your back. Pay attention to what you can reach and how the pressure feels. This first week is about learning the tool and finding a comfortable way to use it.

Your check-in: Which grip works for each area? What pressure feels comfortable?

Add soap. Gather the lather.

Week 02

Give the overlooked spots a place.

Bring your elbows, the areas around your knees and your back into the routine on the occasions you exfoliate. A smaller fold helps you guide the net around elbows and knees; the full length helps you work across your back.

Keep the frequency suited to your skin and the product directions. The goal is an approach that's easy to remember and comfortable to repeat.

Your check-in: Are you reaching the places you used to miss?

An end in each hand. A longer reach.

Week 03

Notice how the everyday moments feel.

Think about what you wanted from the routine in the first place: softer-feeling arms when you get dressed, less roughness under your fingertips and feeling comfortable in the clothes you want to wear.

Use those ordinary moments as your check-in. Notice any changes in how your skin feels, and whether the pressure and frequency still suit you. Adjust your routine if needed.

Your check-in: How do your arms, elbows and knees feel when you get dressed? Is the routine comfortable?

Week 04

Look back. Keep what works.

Compare your starting point with now: the areas you can reach, how your skin looks and feels, and how easy it has been to make room for the step.

A routine earns its place when it works for your life. Keep the approach that feels comfortable and sustainable for you, using the net's texture and reach to give the overlooked areas attention.

Your check-in: What has changed for you? What do you want to continue?

Good to know

Questions people ask before they buy.

Does four weeks mean exfoliating every day?
No. These are weekly check-ins, not a daily-use schedule or a promise of a particular result by a particular week. Follow the product's directions, adjust to your skin and stop if irritation occurs.
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.
