Review (5/5): It works really well, just not for what I had bought it for….
This thing is REALLY long. One side is rounded dimples, the other side is raised brush-type projections. Bought it for my husband’s shower because it looked fairly indestructible and he seems to be able to destroy pretty much any type of back scrubber. This thing is thick, has some heft to it, and has sturdy grips at either end. My husband was definitely more impressed with this one than some of the others I’ve handed to him for use in the shower.
So, after his first shower with it I asked him how it went. He looks at me and says “I’m not sure I’m using it the right way, but it works pretty good.” And that was his idea of providing feedback on how it worked. Of course, that’s not enough….especially when it starts with I’m not sure if I’m using it right. Turns out (after tons of questioning, Good Lord it’s like bath scrubbers had suddenly become highly confidential state secrets) that it didn’t work all that well as a back scrubber for him. He didn’t like that you have to lather up your back with a loofah or washcloth first and then use the back scrubber. He tried to put soap on the scrubber and use it to wash his back but the soap just ran down between the scrubbers and he couldn’t build a lather up. So he tossed it on the shower floor and was going to tell me that it didn’t work. But then he decided to see if it would work to remove the callused skin on his feet. Apparently it did. He started by just leaving it on the floor of the shower and rubbing his feet back and forth on it, and that worked well. But then he grabbed the handles and put some tension on it with his foot and moved it by using the handles. Apparently this worked VERY well. So well that he had brought up the brush he usually uses in the shower for his feet and threw it in the garbage. (He said it needed replacing anyway.) He wants to keep this one in the shower to keep using it on his feet & is completely excited that he doesn’t have to bend over and contort himself while scrubbing his feet anymore. He still needs me to find a back scrubber though…….
