Pieces African Exfoliating Scrubber Smoother Reviews Summary

Exfoliation

Pros:

• "I love these african net sponges they exfoliate my body so good and leaves my skin baby soft!"
• "The exfoliation is crazy! I’ve never had such dead skin come off of me to the point where I could SEE it on the shower walls."
• "It’s very long as well, not small at all. And it doesn't hurt when scrubbing."
• "I have to use a lighter hand with this net because it’s pretty harsh but it exfoliates really well."
• "When using in the shower, the net lathers perfectly and has the right amount of exfoliation needed for my skin."
• "This has great exfoliation but not harsh on the skin."
• "These cloths have a great amount of roughness for exfoliating skin."

Cons:

• "The texture is so harsh that it made my usual shower routine feel more like a test of pain tolerance."
• "When scrubbing it’s too soft to exfoliate and the net holes are too small which collects hair and is hard to clean."
• "Everyone says that it's the greatest thing, this product took my skin off! It is very harsh even after we soaked it."
• "The sponge may indeed be effective at removing dead skin and dirt, but it does so with the subtlety of a wire brush, leaving my skin red and irritated."
• "It causes severe abrasions on the skin and is very unpleasant to use."
• "Before purchasing please be aware that these caused a terrible skin reaction on my children and myself."
• "This product was horrible on my skin. Feels like sandpaper on my skin."

Material Quality

Pros:

• "These are soft and scrub good! The people complaining about the smell do not understand that these are literal fishnets for fishing but we use them to exfoliate these are high quality!"
• "These were good standard quality and a good thickness. I liked that the packaging allowed it to come clean and protected too."
• "It's durable, easily suds, and works great."
• "They come very soft and are weaved nicely."
• "It's super durable!"
• "The quality of the net is so rich you can tell it’s a product that’s gonna last for a long time."
• "They are very durable so I feel as though I get a good use out of each one."

Cons:

• "Product received looks exactly the 'cheap' material shown they say their version doesn't look like."
• "These are NOT African Bath Sponge Nets. This is false advertising."
• "Machine made, basically unwound Loofa. Do not waste your money if you are looking for real, handmade African exfoliating net."
• "This product included a thank you card indicating to contact them if I have any questions but there is NO contact info."
• "THIS IS NOT AN AFRICAN NET SPONGE THIS IS A POT AND FLOOR SCRUBBER SMH THIS IS HORRIBLE THE MATERIAL IS PLASTIC!"
• "If you are looking for an actual African net I suggest you not to get this! Basically, this is just a loose loofah. This product does not exfoliate."
• "These are not what I was expecting… I’ve had African net sponges off of Amazon but this has got to be the worst."

Odor

Pros:

• "These not only give an even BETTER feeling of exfoliation when you use them.. they NEVER smell bad as they dry quickly AND completely after you rinse and hang them in your shower."
• "A lot of reviews say it comes with a strong smell ... I wouldn't say strong but yes it does initially smell a lil fishy. However, a prewash will rid the smell."
• "I didn’t like the smell, coming straight out of the bag, . No big Deal. I soaked them in hot water and it was gone."

Cons:

• "This has a bad smell upon removing it from packaging."
• "The African net sponge literally reeked like fish it was so disgusting."
• "Upon first opening the vacuum sealed bag, i got hit with a strong odor of a fishy smell."
• "I got this and noticed the smell of fish - still decided to try figured once I use soap it wouldn’t smell. Stunk even more."
• "And it smells like fish when I took it out the wrapper.. like 🤢"
• "When you break the seal, an awful smell comes out of them."
• "I hate leaving a negative review, but the entire package and sponges smelled like fish upon opening."

Durability

Pros:

• "I use them for a few weeks and then replace it with a new one so I’m glad they come in a pack of three."
• "Each one lasts me about 1.5 months .. so a pack of 3 can last up to 5 months which is a long time!!!"
• "Mine have lasted very well for the past several weeks, and my skin is softer for it."
• "I’ve used them every day for 3 months and they’re holding up very well, haven’t smelled at all, and seem overall very hygienic."
• "I’ve been using this in the shower for several months and it’s still standing strong, at least 8 months."
• "So far it is holding up well and I can imagine this lasting some time longer."
• "They dry quick and don't get mold or mildew."

Cons:

• "Overall this is a good product. It exfoliates well and makes me feel extra clean. However, there seems to be little pieces of the washcloth that fall off onto my body every time I use it."
• "Pieces of the fabric come off during use even after a cycle in the washer."
• "Product would have been good if it didn't start coming apart after only two uses."
• "It started to disintegrate and come apart!"
• "They are falling apart all over me while using them."
• "Pieces started coming off though, so that’s not great."
• "The edges of mine are starting to fray as well which should not happen."

Design & Usability

Pros:

• "I love the length to help reach all areas of my back & it made my very dry skin extremely soft!!"
• "Great for wash your back since they are long."
• "I didn't buy this to be soft. I exfoliate my skin everyday and this works great as a wash cloth and back scrubber."
• "It helps reach your back and feet and make sure everything's nice and clean."
• "The length is a plus because now I don’t have to have my husband come and wash my back or struggle trying to reach my back myself."
• "It's big enough to wash your back but when you scrunch it up to wash everywhere else you're able to hold on to it easily."
• "They make hard to reach places like the middle of my back easy to clean."

Cons:

• "It also takes extra work to lather soap across the product and stay lathered."
• "The problem is that they collapse on themselves and don’t stay rigid."
• "Also the shape is awkward and it’s hard to hold, lather, and wash with."
• "It is hard to hold-folds and rolls up."
• "Sometimes hard to grip to get it to move across the skin with one hand such as when scrubbing each arm."
• "Another problem I have is that it’s also beginning to stain my shower floor with the color."
• "The smells stays there even after trying to get it out."
