Natural Egyptian Shower Loofah Sponge Reviews Summary

Texture and Exfoliation

Pros:

• "It exfoliates my skin so well that it's starting to clear up."
• "It's the perfect texture for me personally: rough enough to feel like I'm getting clean yet soft enough that I can scrub away without fear of irritation."
• "These exfoliate the skin so nicely."
• "It exfoliates beautifully and dries like a dream."
• "They do a great job of exfoliating."
• "It exfoliates well but leaves my skin feeling soft."
• "This is a very nice natural loofah, its big and holds a nice lather."

Cons:

• "Hard to get into the nooks and crannies of the body."
• "Some of the descriptions for these loofahs called them soft, but I think that is far from true. They are very scratchy."
• "However, it is VERY scratchy. It is harsher than the roughest loofa I’ve ever used."
• "Super rough and didn’t lather well."
• "The material is super abrasive and I imagine if I continue to use it that I will no longer have any skin left to exfoliate."
• "Texture isn’t good for sensitive skin."
• "These are extremely abrasive compared to other loofah’s I’ve used."

Size and Shape

Pros:

• "They are very generous in size and much easier to wring mostly-dry than my old one."
• "One of the better loofahs I have found on the market. It comes flat but floofs out when wet."
• "These are significantly bigger and fluffier than the last loofah I had."
• "They are a very large size so I actually cut them down into 6 before soaking."
• "They are consistently the same size and shape, and I’ve never found a single seed."
• "It’s big enough to use all over your body, larger than my face."
• "They’re way bigger than I imagined they’d be, but the surface area is actually helpful!"

Cons:

• "I originally thought they were a little too big, but completely changed my mind once I had used them."
• "The size is extremely large."
• "I like this product but it's way bigger than I had hoped."
• "They’re HUGE like the size of my forearm."
• "The loofah is too big."
• "First of all - these things are like 8x8 inches. Extremely large."
• "This loofah is way too big and hard. I can barely hold it."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

• "I love that they’re natural and biodegradable."
• "Love that these are better for the environment than plastic loofahs."
• "No more cheap plastic non recycling garbage for me! Made by planted earth and reclaimed by Mother Earth!"
• "I literally compost my old loofah when I am done with it."
• "I'm so glad to have found an alternative to plastic loofahs!"
• "It’s better for the environment!"
• "Environmental friendly."

Cons:

• "The reason for 3 stars is because of the way they were packaged. I don’t understand why the eco-friendly pouch was in cellophane wrap."
• "Right off the bat the claim that these are super environmentally friendly is kind of misleading."
• "They came with these blue dropper things which I assume were to wet the sponge? Not sure because when I opened it I saw that the packing on the droppers said it can expose you to chemicals that cause reproductive cancer."
• "I really appreciate the effort toward less carbon footprint with packaging."
• "However, one of the loofahs arrived with a hole and the hole is getting bigger and bigger quickly."
• "This last batch REEKS of a chemical/gasoline smell upon first use!"
• "But WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SMELL emanating from them? I soaked mine in Clorox of 15 minutes and still couldn't get rid of it."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "Very pleased with the quality and price of the product."
• "The attached loop/string is very nice and durable as well."
• "These things just last forever."
• "They seem to last at least long as a regular loofah, while also being biodegradable."
• "I am pleasantly surprised with the quality and durability of the loofah's."
• "The price and quality of these loofahs are unparalleled."
• "This loofah is high quality!"

Cons:

• "The problem is the luffah does not last because then it does start to have a putrid smell like it's molding."
• "Quality has gone down hill terribly. Will NOT be purchasing again and don’t recommend anyone else do either."
• "These used to be a good deal and product. Now they are extremely thin and rip almost instantly (after first use)."
• "The rope will start to mildew after about 5 weeks if it doesn't get dried out."
• "Now it’s discoloring and turning blueish green."
• "Quality control is going downhill for this product. I’ve been a customer for years."
• "However, one of the loofahs arrived with a hole and the hole is getting bigger and bigger quickly."

Additional Features

Pros:

• "I also received a bonus of a small facial sponge for the hard to get areas."
• "The free face scrubber was a life saver and such a wonderful surprise addition to my order."
• "Order came with 3 sponges plus a smaller one in the cutest little bag with a nice note."
• "I also love that they came with a bonus travel size loofa."
• "Everything comes in a cloth bag and I even got a free gift along with my order."
• "Came with a mini face scrubber which is softer than the body one."
• "Definitely a good value for money and even comes with a bonus face scrub!"

Cons:

• "Only negative is that the hanging string is long and I have to hold it while I wash so it doesn’t slap me."
• "Make sure there is plenty of ventilation or your loofah might get mold."
• "First thing you should do is cut out the string. If you leave it in your loofa will mold in 3-4 weeks."
• "I feel better about using these than a plastic loofah because I know it'll break down in the ground by mold."
• "Once you rinse them out and use with shower gel just once, there is absolutely no smell."
• "They smell kind of off. Can't quite decide what they smell like but I'm hoping that after a few uses that my body wash will mask it."
• "But WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SMELL emanating from them? I soaked mine in Clorox of 15 minutes and still couldn't get rid of it."
