African Bath Sponge

This is a very strong warning NOT TO BUY THIS PRODUCT. I am West African in heritage and my relatives use this product in their country. So I saw a YouTube video talking about it and I thought it would be a good exfoliating scrub for my skin.It has been hell on earth since using this scrub. My skin on the 2nd day of using it broke out into a horrible disgusting rash from top to bottom, thankfully not on my face as I did not use it there. I have horrible contact dermatitis, worst I've have ever experienced in my life. My skin is completely covered in rashes, non stop itching and horrible burning sensations. My skin feels like a Brillo pad and is hot non-stop. I'm unable to wear pants jeans leggings anything that is in close contact to my skin it makes it extremely difficult to sleep and even exercise is unbearable because the sweat makes the rashes tingle and burn. I am now showering twice a day to try and remove any of the chemicals that this scrub is coated in off my body. I immediately also had to wash all my clothes that I had worn those two days including my towels to get any of the chemicals that this scrub had off. It is embarrassing to look at and thankfully because I am dark-skinned the red rashes do not show up very easily unless you are close up to me but it has been horrible. I am taking topical medication, hydrocortisone, to help with the itching and taking also Benadryl to reduce the allergic reaction as well as Advil to help with the pain as it's cause a lot of pain on my legs.I 100% do not recommend this product and in fact, if I could sue, I would. This product is most likely made in China and coated in chemicals and is synthetic. I do wish I had asked my parents and family members about it before purchasing and I am learning the very hard way about how bad this is. I do hope I can heal my skin in the next few days but after searching contact dermatitis and seeing how much this has spread around my body I feel like this may take a while to clear which sucks.

I was introduced to this scrubber several years ago by a Nigerian friend, but the local store we'd get it from closed down a few years ago and I've been since looking for these online - with no success. I finally found it listed here and was so excited to place an order. When I got it, it was a bit smaller than what it says in the item's description, so I figured I'd give the seller a call and see if they can work with me to get the size as decribed in the item listing. On the phone I was greeted by a lovely lady who thanked me for reaching out to her first, apologized for the mistake, and explained that they were not aware of the size difference as they used to get it pre-cut and now have to cut it themselves. She immediately mailed two new, full-size scrubbers, which I got in the mail today and they are just AMAZING!!! I highly recommend these scrubbers for the great quality, price, and service. I've never written a review here on Amazon, in spite of shopping for many years. But I happily do it for this small, authentic mom and pop shop somewhere in the state of Michigan, for having such good, friendly service, and making these fishnet scrubber available for me once again! Thank you!

I'm in love with this bath sponge. I received a really vibrant pink color cloth...very beautiful. It was a great length, very long- long enough to reach everything without strain. It felt rough in its dry state, which I personally don't mind, but I found the texture did soften up a bit after wetting it. However, It didn't relax so much as to make it ineffective. I could feel an immediate difference from anything I'd used before. Can't wait to see how this new addition to my skin regime will help me achieve my goals! Very nicely packaged, with business card included, nice smell even, and arrived in great time. No problems with shipment whatsoever (always a plus). So I will definitely be ordering more. Once I find a good thing I just have to have more than one!

This is the best washing cloth I have ever used!! It leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean after every single shower. I will not use any other wash cloth and will repurchase another when the one I bought starts to thread. I gave it 4 stars because you do not get to pick the color you want and I received a blue one which is one of the colors I really do not like.

I really like the scrubbing cloth. It soaps up well and makes it easier to wash the back. It takes down getting used to because it's different than your standard square terry cloth wash cloth. But I like it much much better.

It’s long & I love it . It’s feels like I’m back in the mother land

Took a while to get to me but worth the wait. Can’t buy this one in stores. Will never buy another loofah sponge again 😀 African bath sponge from here on out

(7/3/15) Exactly as expected. Wish you can pick the color. But my skin looks amazing using this and my raw African black soap.EDIT (3/21/16) : I had repurchased this sponge 2 months ago. Did not receive product. Contacted seller and did not receive help. I had to file a claim for refund. Subtracted 3 stars from original review for inconvenience.

The colour was just like the pictureThe texture is good.Even though the size of the sponge was much smaller than I expected for the price , I have been able to use it for what I needed it for.

Good quality

Great productand service,love itArrived at a good time,Thank you

What on earth was the sponge made from. Apart from it colouring water and lather purple, I had serious allergic reaction with constant itchy skin. My skin is all scratched and blotchy. Took me almost a week to realise sponge was the cause. Of course the itching stopped when I went back to my old similar sponge which was much better quality, never coloured water, and was 1/3 the price of this one. Shame I cannot return it from a hygiene perspective.

I was so surprised! It’s like i was expected! Like when you bought them in Africa! I’m so glad i found that on amazon
