Do you use a shower scrunchie?

Or just your hands. Or something else? I bet you can make your own scrunchie can you?

Just hands for me. Those scrunchies look really scratchy. You could probably make one out of the netting you make tutus out of.

Hands here, DD bought a scrunchy recently and I tried it yesterday, it felt weird and not very effective. If I need sonething a bit more scrubby I use a loofah mitt, but not for everyday.

I can't stand scrunchies! I don't understand why anyone uses them. They feel so artificial and not like they actually work.

I'd rather use hands, a flannel or a sponge.

I use a scrunchie and love it. I can't stand using my hands and always feel like I'm not as clean if I do. I like a good scrub!

I use a scrunchy for scaly upper arms and general soft exfoliating. I like them because they foam up and keep the shower gel for a long time without pooling afterwards like a sponge would.
Dd plays with it too.
Have you seen those "man washers"? What would they specifically be used for? EEEEEEWWWWW!

I use a sponge that's got an exfolitor on one side

Yes, it makes my shower gel go further and I feel cleaner than if I use hands only

Just the gloves

I have a scrubby....a string affair over what seems to be a bit of sponge from some old sofa. but it's abrasive enough without being burny-scratchy and foams up nicely

I give the upperarms, scrotum effect elbows, knees, shins and elephant ankles a good going over. Gosh I am such a catch!

It's also very satisfying if my hives are wild....really satisfying at itching the little bastards. Aaaahhhhhh!

You mean those little bunched up net things? Thought you meant tying your hair up in the shower from the title!

Don't like those net things, they feel weird. I tend to have a have a few nice body scrubs on the go though and a sisal exfoliating mitt for elbows/knees and this weird dry patch I get in the middle of my back!

I have a scrunchie and I like using them. They gently exfoliate and make the shower gel go much further.

I use one about once a fortnight, too abrasive for every day but good for exfoliating and easier than using shower scrubs. Probably should use it once a week but I'm too lazy. The best scrubbing thing I've used is a Japanese thing a friend brought back from holiday but it fell apart.

I use shower scrunchies, as they make the shower gel go much further, and are nicely exfoliating. Some are better than others; a lot of the cheap ones are too scratchy and don't have enough layers to hold on to the gel. I don't like just using my hands as the shower gel disappears within three seconds, flannels are only a little better than bare hands, I hate the feeling of sponges, and exfoliating mitts just feel like wearing a wet glove (which is true, but I don't like how it feels).

I have a couple on rotation, and throw them in the wash every few days so they don't go manky.

If you use your hands, how do you wash your bum and fanj? Do you just get all up in there? Confused

It definitely does make it go further and the scent last longer on your body

Exfoliating gloves. And agree with PP that the soap and glory ones are the best out there.

I use one (but we call them puffles) - it's great as the shower gel lathers really well despite it being very hard water here and it exfoliates really well without being too harsh.
