A SIMPLE FINISH

Rinse it.
Hang it open.

Rinse thoroughly after use, then let the net air-dry fully. Drying time depends on airflow and humidity. Replace it if the material becomes damaged.

Good to know

Before your first shower.

Is this the same as a loofah?

This comparison is with a synthetic mesh shower pouf, often called a loofah, rather than the natural luffa plant. The net opens into a long strip instead of staying gathered in a ball. Its knotted texture also feels different from a soft mesh pouf.

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.
