Easy to use, easy to clean, works for pets
Overall, these silicone scrubby straps are a gentle way to clean an area that's generally hard to reach. The side with the short silicone bristles is the side best for scrubbing, while the side with the little domes is better for a light massage. The short bristle side is also better at getting your body wash/soap to foam up than the little dome side.<br /><br />Neither side is effective at a good, deep scrub like a bristle brush is, but the tradeoff is that you can easily clean and disinfect this strap versus needing to replace the bristle brush-type every couple of months or so. The bristles on these straps are also less harsh on your skin. If you have a problem like psoriasis that can flare up with excessive scrubbing or exfoliation, this product is the better way to go. Thanks to the design, you can also use this to clean the soles of your feet without having to bend down in the shower. For older folks, those who have back injuries, or those with medical conditions that prevent them from doing so (like vertigo), this strap is a safer method. And if you happen to drop this in the shower, the soft silicone isn't going to leave a bruise on your foot like the wooden or plastic handle of a scrub brush would.<br /><br />This scrubby strap also does a great job at getting the undercarriage of our large breed dog. His coat is super short little eyelash hairs, and the bristles on this are plenty to get down to his skin. Using this to give his tummy a good scrub is SO much easier and faster, and it does a better job than we can do with bare hands. He seems to enjoy it, and will even stand still during these tummy scrub session.
