Exfoliating Loofah Back Scrubber for Shower for Men and Women (4x32 in.)

Having tried numerous brushes, I just about gave up on finding a "good" solution to really washing and cleaning my back. The reviews on this and other wrap-around scrubbers was mixed, some hinting at short term usage or physical weakness and failure. I bought two, deciding if they did the job for 6 to 8 weeks each, it was worthwhile. I am still using the original, which physically and functionally is new and perfect in every respect. I have no idea when I may, if ever, need the 2nd one. I am not a small guy; 6 feet and 260 lbs, so getting around me and working properly was a major concern. The back scrubber reaches everywhere and performs miracles. I do follow the product care guidelines, but it appears brand new after serious use with no odor, sign of mold or mildew and no signs of failure. This product is perfect for cleaning your back: period. With respect to full disclosure; I find my shower time extended about 6 minutes because I use the scrubber almost totally in place of a washcloth, and my soap usage has increased a little over 5%. As I have a water-saver shut-off shower head and soap is cheap compared to feeling really CLEAN, these two caveats are negligible at best.

I absolutely love my Voda Reve Exfoliating Loofah Back Scrubber!!!! The packaging included use and care instructions which I found quite helpful. When moistened the loofah expands considerably, providing a good area of coverage when scrubbing the body. The design of the long handles with wash cloth makes it comfortable and easy to use when scrubbing the back shoulders and neck and the hidden pocket for the bar of soap makes it efficient and provides a good lather. The best benefit of all is my skin feels softer after each use. I have used back scrubber brushes in the past, which require awkward twisting and turning to scrub hard-to-reach places. I definitely prefer this loofah back scrubber which is easier to use, has a greater area of coverage and leaves my skin feeling great! This product is very well made and dries quickly between uses. I will be letting family and friends know about this great find and also plan to buy more as stocking stuffers this Christmas!

This is a good, well-made product that works. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that I'm larger than the average person (6'2", 210lbs) and it could be maybe four inches longer for ease of use in my case. But as it is it still works well and I'm glad I bought it. It should handle many, many showers. The loofah portion on one side is nice and thick (it puffs up a bit when you get it wet the first time) but isn't prickly or overly rough, while the main body is just right for the job it's made to do, soft and comfortable to use, yet very mildly abrasive to just the right degree. Leaves my back feeling clean and kinda tingly. The handles are comfortable and it's easy to switch your hand positions for different angles across your back or other parts of the body. Easy to rinse and tough enough to wring out by hand, and then hang it on a hook so it can dry out before your next shower.

This design looks good at first but after a single use it became clear that it was not that great of a design. The loofah will dry all curled up and not flat after being used. So a lot of the surface area you would use originally is kind of lost here. This makes it pretty ineffective. You can still use it as a decent wash cloth loofah but again, its a round surface not a flat cloth surface. Pros: *Material is good at scrubbing Cons: *The material deforms to the point that it makes it pretty ineffective. (-2 stars) Additional Considerations: I am having better luck with a solid wood back scrubber with similar material on the end. It keeps a better geometry Overall: 3/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 3 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Sooooo much better than using back scrubbers on a stick! They almost always fell apart and were uncomfortable in my hand. It was hard to comfortably and thoroughly scrub my back. This product is great! For the first time I can comfortably scrub all of my back! The product is well made - looks like it will last a long time. The loofah side provides a nice scrub without being too stiff or scratchy. The other side is soft and cushiony and gives you soft soothing wash. I love it that there is a pocket to hold a bar of soap - so convenient. It took just a little practice to figure out the best way to hold the handles to maneuver the the scrubber over my back but now I use it to wash all of my backside even down to my buttocks. And for the first time the skin on my back feels really clean and smooth - no more itchy skin!

UPDATE: I contacted the company about the loofah tearing, and they promptly responded. They put a replacement in the mail and I received it very quickly. Great customer support! I will definitely order from them in the future! This product cleans very well and feels wonderful. It isn't hard & painful like a lot of loofahs that I've used. Unfortunately, it tore during the first use. It isn't a cheap (price wise) product, and it seemed to be made much better than that (high quality) . I made the mistake of waiting to try it and the return window has closed, so I guess I'll just take this loss. I'm upset that it broke so soon because it is a nice product.

I ordered this loofa because I wanted to have a "natural" exfoliator for my dry skin, especially for my back which is hard to reach with a wash cloth. Not only did this work perfect as an exfoliating device but it massaged areas I couldn't reach. I am a seamstress and I am very impressed with the strength of the scrubber. It is very sturdy and my husband (who is taller & stronger than me) uses it vertically & horizontally, no problem. I have been using the scrubber for a month now, and it hangs in our shower & drys quickly. No signs of moisture, mildew or mold that I have experienced with loofa-on-a-stick type scrubbers. I'm such a believer in this product that I bought 4 more & gave them to family & friends. I highly recommend this product!

My back is always dry and itchy now that winter is in full force. I live in a dry climate that requires frequent lotion use, but it's kind of difficult to get it all over your back. When I got a couple of tattoos on my back, I needed to be able to wash them well - using my pouf wasn't cutting it. I purchased a pouf on a stick, but I never really used it. It was awkward and didn't feel like it did a very good job of washing, much less exfoliating. Plus I didn't really like using one pouf for my body and another for my back - it seemed like I spent a good portion of my time rinsing out poufs. I should also mention that I had a serious back injury and still deal with chronic pain, so that made it difficult to use anything on a stick. When I saw this it was like a light bulb went off. One side has a loofah-type surface, the other is soft. There is a pocket in the scrubber to place a bar of soap if you want. (I love that!) It's tough to get the soap to lather when it's inside the pocket, so I scrub the bar on the outside of the scrubber to get it sudsy, then stick it in the pocket. This is also great to use on your knees, elbows, feet, etc. I don't feel the loofah surface is as harsh as most loofahs I've used, which makes it great for more sensitive skin. The length is useful - the handles are easy to grab and slide over any part of your back, but not so far apart that it's uncomfortable. I do feel like the photos are a little misleading - at least to me. I didn't realize that the loofah surface is only in the middle third of the scrubber - so the other 2/3rds aren't loofah-y. It's still a good item and I'm not convinced that having a larger loofah area would increase the usefulness of this product, but it's still something to note. It's easy to rinse out and you just hang it to dry. At under $15, this is a good purchase. There are directions on the package about caring for the scrubber, which is helpful. I recommend if you're looking for a product like this. (And really, if you aren't, why are you even on this page, reading this review??)
