Loofah Sponge

Guys, this is serious... I've been using a soft body sponge in the shower to exfoliate and I've been wondering if maybe I should switch to a loofah? My concern is that the loofah will be too irritating on my skin, but it also seems like it would do a better job cleaning.

I don’t know if this is the right subbredit to post this but I wanted to ask which should I use, I mean I have chest hairs and so I need more foam to wash my body so which would be good out of these and which would create more foam and also will have less bacteria after using.

Just recently booked an AirBnB in Utah which quite honestly wasn’t bad at all. But you could clearly tell they cut corners. All of the sponges on the sink were very old/worn and dirty. They told us they had plenty of soap they supplied so no need to buy any. When we arrived initially we couldn’t find the soap in the bathroom. So we proceeded to check all the draws and cabinets and discovered the soap supplied…🤮 Edit: Since this is taking off I guess I should have mentioned the draw under it had 5 used loofahs with old dried up skin on them and some of the bathroom towels had holes in them and some make up residue. I kid you not….I wish I was kidding. I’ve never seen anything like this before at an air bnb. Check this shit out: Some used loofahs: https://imgur.com/a/KG54jpx Worn out towels and a mark that’s either from makeup removal or someone wiping their butthole: https://imgur.com/a/QpNQ7hE submitted by /u/spike11552 to r/mildlyinfuriating [link] [comments]

I bought a loofah around 4-5 months ago, and let me tell you, it's incredible how silky smooth my skin feels after using it, but god do I hate scrubbing myself with it. What are your though about using them? Are they really important? submitted by /u/DoughSeagull to r/hygiene [link] [comments]

I have used loofah sponges for years: They are as good and durable as the plastic ones and the eco premium in price isn't too bad. Any time I ordered them in the past they arrived in paper boxes but not these :( What is the point if they are wrapped in single use plastic? submitted by /u/itchy_bum_bug to r/mildlyinfuriating [link] [comments]

For the past 34 years my husband has been terrible at gift giving. I’ve given him lists of what I’d like, I’ve been direct…for years! Only once did he buy what was on my list. I have received several (often exactly the same) hot pads, dream catcher key chains, incense, mouse pads, to go coffee mugs, Mary Kay cosmetics (co-worker opportunistically sold to him), loofah sponges, if it’s in the bargain bin at Walgreens, it’s what I’m getting for my birthday or Christmas…and IF he remembers me on Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, (gave up on our anniversary years ago.) He is a very good husband, handsome, good provider, great father, helps cook, clean, yard work etc. So I have overlooked the lackluster gifts. When I got this unwrapped plastic ballpoint pen, I accepted it graciously, but it deeply bothered me and every time I thought about it, I started to well up with tears and it made me so sad. I actually ugly cried. I finally told him that I would rather receive no gift than a thoughtless gift and then I broke the pen in half and threw it away in front of him. I actually feel awful acting like this when I think he honestly just doesn’t get it. submitted by /u/NoIndustry113 to r/AmIOverreacting [link] [comments]

My house is 1 bed/ 1 bath with a small outdoor patio. This is the cleaning chart I made to keep track of everything. Is there anything else I could add? The deep cleaning is definitely not my forte so any help is welcomed. submitted by /u/CursedRaptor to r/CleaningTips [link] [comments]

Peel them when they start browning or when they start being a little squishy. Cook them when they’re around 6 inches long. I have seeds for people in the USA if you want them. Will mail them for free. I also donate the seeds to the library. submitted by /u/HelloPanda22 to r/ZeroWaste [link] [comments]

As one of the first steps I took to make my home “cleaner”many years ago, I switch from plastic dish sponges to these ones (picture). It says that it’s “plant based” so we should be good there, yes? NO. If you’ve used one of these, you know that there are two layers to them— one is a holey spongy side (wood cellulose), the other side is more scrubby. Over the years, I’ve often wondered why the texture looked artificial after extended use… until I read the box. “Recycled fibers”— one of the materials that’s mixed with the coconut fiber, is literally plastic. Plastic shreds, plastic fibers. This sponge is not 100% plant based, and it is not compostable (to minimize waste, you’ll have to cut the wood cellulose part out to compost). I was so angry when I discovered it— there is so much greenwashing in this world that even those with the best intentions can get it wrong due to INTENTIONALLY misleading claims. I have since switched to plant based luffa gourd fiber (look for natural loofah). You can grow them and you can find them through local markets— the plant fiber works well and is fully compostable. Keep your eyes peeled, people! Update: I found a product I like-- Floofah kitchen sponges, made with luffa fibers, and yes fully compostable! submitted by /u/garrusntycho to r/ZeroWaste [link] [comments]

You don't need a loofah or a sponge to actually get clean in the shower. Your hands and soap are enough. "But you need to exfoliate!" - Your dead skin cells naturally fall off on their own. Most of the dust in your house is dead skin cells. You don't need to forcefully rub yourself in order for this process to happen. Soap and your hands will wash away the dead skin cells on your body. Human skin is sensitive, you are not a snake trying to shed its skin. "You wouldn't wash your dishes without a sponge" - Sebum doesn't harden onto your skin like cooking oil does to dishes. Soap is more than capable of removing the oil on your skin and the bacteria on its own. You also usually don't have food stuck on your body as we tend to remove that with a napkin asap. Loofahs and sponges are plastic waste that need to be regularly replaced as they are absolute bacteria bombs. Even if you wash them in the washing machine, that is just a way to release microplastics into the world and they will eventually degrade and break apart anyway. Natural loofahs should be considered a torture device. My cat's claws are more gentle on the skin. I refuse to believe anyone can stand actually rubbing that onto their skin every day. The shower gloves start smelling weird really fast, should probably be washed after every shower meaning you would need a minimum of 3-4 different pairs depending on how fast you can wash and dry them, they don't lather properly and I couldn't notice a hygiene increase, actually left feeling dirtier than washing with just my hands. The people who actually need to scrub their skin are blue collar workers, doctors and anyone working with the sickly, bodily fluids, chemicals or actual dirt and mud. The people who swear by the loofah or the sponge are usually impeccably clean city people who only get muddy once a month when it rains. It just feels like a ruse to get people to spend more, buy more and waste more products when they don't need it. I do own an exfoliating sponge that I sparingly use and it's an okay product. I still enjoy using my hands much more and everyone is entitled to their own way of cleaning themselves, as long as they actually do. Where I draw the line is when people start shaming others for not using these products and basically calling us dirty sewage monsters when it really isn't the case. As long as you use water and soap, you will come out cleaner than you went into the shower. Striving to be the perfect clean entity is weird and damaging to your skin in the long run. submitted by /u/cchihaialexs to r/unpopularopinion [link] [comments]
