“It's just what I needed to reach my back and it feels so good.”
Karen Lamb · Verified buyer

Once you see it used, the length makes sense.

If you're used to gathering a loofah or washcloth in one hand, start by watching both hands. The net opens out so you can hold an end in each and work it across your back. Then gather it again for your arms and legs.

The appeal is practical: a textured tool that changes shape with your grip. You get the lather you enjoy and physical exfoliation that helps buff away dead skin for a softer feel, with your back included in the routine.

Get to know it in five motions.

01

The wet net held open

Wet the net

Begin with the net wet and ready to use. Open it out in your hands, then gather the amount that feels comfortable to hold.

02

Soap foaming in a gathered net

Add your body wash

Use the regular body wash you enjoy. Gather the mesh and work up a lather. You can keep this part of your shower familiar while getting used to a different tool.

03

An end in each hand. A longer reach.

Hold both ends

When it's time for your back, take one end in each hand. The length gives you room to work the net across the area instead of relying on one small surface held in one hand.

04

A net washing a forearm

Wash with gentle pressure

Move the net back and forth across your back, then change your grip for arms and legs. Its knots provide the texture. Your hands set the pressure, so start gently and find what feels comfortable.

05

Rinse out soap
Hang open between uses

Rinse and hang

Rinse the net when you've finished, then hang it to dry. Follow the product's care directions so this last step becomes as familiar as reaching for your towel.

That satisfying texture has a purpose.

The knots help physically buff away dead skin as you wash. The flexible shape helps you bring that texture to different parts of your body: a smaller section for control, a longer stretch for your back.

The goal is softer-feeling skin and an easy routine. You can keep your favorite body wash and moisturizer while changing how you handle the exfoliating step.

Good to know

Questions people ask before they buy.

Do I need a special technique?
Start with the movements you see here: gather for lather, hold both ends for your back and change your grip for smaller areas. Keep the pressure gentle, follow the product directions and stop if your skin feels irritated. You can take your time getting familiar with the net. Its useful feature is the room it gives you to adjust how you hold it.
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.
