Hello all! Do you recommend any eco friendly loofah alternatives, or anything really to scrub your body in the shower with. The fact that most loofahs are made from unrecyclable plastic concerns me.
If you don’t want to use a real luffa made from the luffa gourd, you can use a simple cotton washcloth to scrub. They can last for decades, wash in the laundry with your towels, and biodegrade/compost after a long and useful life.
Amazing how many people probably don’t realize that that plastic waste abomination was preceded by a biodegradable plant option
You could try an actual luffa, which is from a squash-like plant.
I use a soap bag. Place a bar of soap in the bag. Soap lathers well through the loose weave. Sisal or cotton fibers exfoliate your skin as you scrub. Then hang it by the drawstring to dry after each use.
I have been using mine for several years. I do not know the brand, but these look similar: soap saver bag from Golden Forrest and sisal soap bag from Olivaris Organics.
