Firm and Dense Natural Scrubbers
These are quite dense and very firm loofa. The "Luffa" gourd actually got it's name in Egypt. Here, the sponge gourd called “luf” in Arabic, came to be known as loofa from the name Luffa genus, Luffa Aegyptiaca.<br /><br />When I ran a soap making operation, we had a three soap pack that included a native Philippine loofa. It was sometimes difficult to find the quantities that we needed. I would ride my motorcycle all around manila collecting loofa from different vendors and packing them into a gigantic clear bag.<br /><br />I guess they grow them a little better in Egypt. All three loofa in the package were identical in size and density. Each has a loop of cotton rope tied to them so they can be hung in the shower. Water and use do soften them up a little bit but these are some tough little natural sponges.
