Bellanomi Authentic African Exfoliating Sponge, Ethically Sourced from Nigeria, 114 Cm Length, for Daily Back Cleansing (Emerald Green)

I was skeptical at first to be quite honest, it was a lot of money to dish out on a bath sponge that I wasn't even sure I'd like. The item went on sale though, and I figured I would give it a shot after seeing so many people rave about it. The packaging says this should last up to 2 years, which for ~$20 is dirt cheap. I've tried natural sponges, loofahs, exfoliating sponges, shower gloves, all of it and they're about $5-7 and say to replace them after only 3 months. I would just wash them in hot water and keep using them but they lasted 6 months at most before losing their pizzazz. I also found myself using sooo much soap in regular sponges and reapplyingore soap halfway through my wash. I used probably less than half the amount of soap that I usually do and still had suds left over after fully washing, no re-application half way through. Already, I'm saving money and Soap, and therefore, more money. So even if this net sponge was subpar, it wouldn't be a bad purchase, but that isn't the case. Having psoriasis and eczema, usually after a bath while drying off I can see my skin peels and roll off, my legs especially. I can't use anything too harsh without exacerbating my symptoms either so I've just learned to deal with the constant feeling and texture of poor skin. After using this sponge, without any excessive scrubbing, I didn't see skin peel from my legs while drying. For the first time, as long as I can remember, my skin feels genuinely clean and fresh. It's soft. I've endured through awful sponge textures in the hope of soft skin in the past but the African Net Sponge doesn't feel scratchy. It has texture, sure, but it's gentle. Needless to say, I'm in love and wish I had tried this product sooner. Cons? There are a few but the Pros far outweigh them. It can be a little awkward to hold at first, being used to a traditional sponge, but you get used to it. Even with boiling it before use, the first wash had some dye/color come out. This doesn't last though, by the second use it is gone. Being so stretchy and a net, it can be a bit difficult to get the water out of it once you're done washing. I told it in half and sling it a bit before hanging it but if your shower is enclosed/has walls then it won't be an issue.

Great quality product. Fast shipping.

10/10 Bought several of these for my family and they work great! They are exfoliating without being too harsh in my opinion. Their shape and stretchiness allows them to be used in many different ways, very versatile shape. They are large and can stretch across my back, I am rather tall and have broad shoulders, good of you struggle with shoulder mobility. The colors are vibrant, however I would rinse them a few times as depending on the color they can leech/shed slightly upon first use. These Net sponges are very durable and after over 6 months of use they aren't visibly damaged or worn like a loofa would be. I live in a dry climate and haven't noticed any smell or odor, their shape lets them dry quickly. They were inexpensive and are good value due to their longevity.

Cette éponge exfoliante africaine est une excellente alternative aux éponges traditionnelles. Dès la première utilisation, on sent qu’elle offre une exfoliation efficace sans être agressive pour la peau. Sa texture est parfaite pour éliminer les cellules mortes et laisser la peau douce et lisse. Elle sèche rapidement, ce qui limite la prolifération des bactéries et améliore l’hygiène. J’apprécie aussi sa grande taille, qui permet de l’utiliser facilement sur tout le corps. Le matériau est durable et ne se déchire pas après plusieurs utilisations. C’est un produit simple mais très efficace pour améliorer la routine de douche quotidienne. Je la rachèterais sans hésitation.

Nicer than plastic scrunchie scrub er. Dries quickly.
