Bellanomi African peeling net sponge, authentic, ethical from Nigeria, 114.3 cm long, copper brown

Very practical, seems legit. I love how much easier it is to wash my back now! I was using loofahs before so I'm used to a lot of exfoliation. I would say that the net sponge is a bit less exfoliating than loofahs when holding each end in one hand, but just as exfoliating or more so if you use it as a bunch. I'm especially pleased with the exfoliation for my feet, it works better than a pumice stone! And of course, being able to clean it and not having to replace it every few months is great. It also dries more quickly than a loofah which contributes to making it more hygienic. I wish I'd done the switch earlier!

Excellent product!! I have 24/7 chronic pain and a chronic illness that extremely limits my energy and what I can do, so showering has become to me like running a marathon after a long workday without any sleep. Aside from the beautiful and plentiful lathering and squeaky clean skin afterwards, I can actually reach all areas of my body with about 1/3 the exertion I was using with a regular plastic drugstore loofah. For me, that means less days of recovery needed after a seated shower. I prefer to support BIPOC small businesses, which is how I found out about this brand. I really appreciate the authenticity as well as the high quality. In terms of larger bodies, this is the ONLY bath tool that has made it EASY for me to wash myself even with all-over body pain.

Great quality product. Fast shipping.

This African net sponge is the best I’ve ever owned. The craftsmanship is outstanding—you can really tell it’s made to last. It stretches perfectly, lathers up easily, and gives just the right amount of exfoliation without being rough on the skin. The turquoise/teal color is absolutely beautiful and brightens up my shower. I also love how long it is—finally something that makes it easy to wash my back! Plus, it dries super quickly so it never gets that damp, musty smell like loofahs do. My skin already feels softer and smoother after just a few uses. I highly recommend this sponge for anyone who wants both quality and beauty in their bath routine.

I was skeptical at first to be quite honest, it was a lot of money to dish out on a bath sponge that I wasn't even sure I'd like. The item went on sale though, and I figured I would give it a shot after seeing so many people rave about it. The packaging says this should last up to 2 years, which for ~$20 is dirt cheap. I've tried natural sponges, loofahs, exfoliating sponges, shower gloves, all of it and they're about $5-7 and say to replace them after only 3 months. I would just wash them in hot water and keep using them but they lasted 6 months at most before losing their pizzazz. I also found myself using sooo much soap in regular sponges and reapplyingore soap halfway through my wash. I used probably less than half the amount of soap that I usually do and still had suds left over after fully washing, no re-application half way through. Already, I'm saving money and Soap, and therefore, more money. So even if this net sponge was subpar, it wouldn't be a bad purchase, but that isn't the case. Having psoriasis and eczema, usually after a bath while drying off I can see my skin peels and roll off, my legs especially. I can't use anything too harsh without exacerbating my symptoms either so I've just learned to deal with the constant feeling and texture of poor skin. After using this sponge, without any excessive scrubbing, I didn't see skin peel from my legs while drying. For the first time, as long as I can remember, my skin feels genuinely clean and fresh. It's soft. I've endured through awful sponge textures in the hope of soft skin in the past but the African Net Sponge doesn't feel scratchy. It has texture, sure, but it's gentle. Needless to say, I'm in love and wish I had tried this product sooner. Cons? There are a few but the Pros far outweigh them. It can be a little awkward to hold at first, being used to a traditional sponge, but you get used to it. Even with boiling it before use, the first wash had some dye/color come out. This doesn't last though, by the second use it is gone. Being so stretchy and a net, it can be a bit difficult to get the water out of it once you're done washing. I told it in half and sling it a bit before hanging it but if your shower is enclosed/has walls then it won't be an issue.

Was using what I thought to be a quality African sponge the past couple years, until it came time to replace them & I came across these... Leaps and bounds better than what I was previously using, I'm ashamed to say. The quality feels much better, whatever material they're using feel like itll last much longer, the knots, much bigger really do exfoliate the skin, my skin feels noticeablly smoother and softer after each wash.
