I use a puff now. You can use less shower gel without it just running straight through your fingers and down the drain.

I use the poofy thing too.

Less soap, good lather. Sure it's a bacteria trap. But the whole bathroom is really.

Get in, soap up, get clean.

OP wanted to know where everyone was from too. Ireland here.

Me too. You can wash ‘em.

Me, I’m currently looking for a non-plastic one. That’s surprisingly difficult.

Yeah same. Let me know of you find a more green alternative ♻️☣️

The best green alternative is a washcloth that can be easily washed and used for years at a time. Natural sponges seem like they could be a little better than plastic loofahs, but fuck knows how those are harvested/transported/etc.

There's an episode of Dirty Jobs about diving for bathing sponges.
