                | Pouf...You're
                  Gone! Loofahs, Mittens and Scrubber Cloths
 By Jill Sterling
 
 
 
 
 For years now, with my shower gel, I've been using those
                  scrunchy things you can buy at your local drugstore for around
                  $1.99, or that frequently come free with the purchase of a
                  body wash.
 
 I was somewhat disturbed recently to discover
                  that the official name for these nylon scrunchy mesh sponges is "bath pouf." That knowledge alone was enough
                  to prompt me to try some other alternatives.
 
 Living in Chicago, my skin can get pretty dry in the wintertime, 
                especially my legs and arms. That's why scrubbing away dead skin 
                and getting a nice massage in the process is a nice combination.

 If you're in search of a "bath pouf" substitute but 
                don't see anything here that appeals to you, check out the 
                extensive selection of items available from retailers online 
                using your favorite search engine (I found about 120 such products, grouped
                  into sponges, brushes, loofahs, mitts and towels).
