How many do you need
A loofah is a consumable. Buy it like one.
Natural loofah fiber holds water and skin cells, so dermatologists suggest retiring it every 3 to 4 weeks, sooner if you scrub daily. Most households run out faster than they expect. Tell us who showers with it and we will size the pack.

Why Egyptian loofah
The scrubber the plastic pouf was imitating.
Loofah is not a sea sponge. It is the fruit of a climbing vine, Luffa aegyptiaca, named for the country that has grown it best for centuries. Here is how ours compares with what is usually hanging in the shower.
| Kemet Egyptian loofah | Plastic mesh pouf | Supermarket loofah | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Whole Nile-grown loofah, cotton terry and twill | Polyethylene mesh | Loofah of mixed origin, often thin cuts |
| Exfoliation | Deep, softens when wet | Mild, mostly lather | Varies by cut |
| Plastic free | Yes | No | Usually |
| Compostable | Yes | No | Yes |
| Hangs to dry | Cotton loop or braided rope | Plastic cord | Sometimes |
| Origin | Grown, sun dried and sewn in Egypt | Factory, mostly China | Unlabelled |
| Replace | Every 2 to 4 weeks, then compost | Every 2 months, then landfill | Every 3 to 4 weeks |
What you get
Two tools in one pad.
100% Natural Egyptian Loofah
Cut from whole loofah gourds grown along the Nile and dried in the Egyptian sun. The same plant fiber Egyptian bath houses have trusted for centuries.
Gentle Daily Exfoliation
The open fiber mesh lifts away dead skin cells and boosts circulation without scratching, so skin feels smooth, soft and awake after every shower.
Dual Sided Design
A textured loofah face for exfoliating and a plush cotton terry back for lathering up. Two tools in one pad.
Generous Palm Fit Size
A large oval, about 6 x 4.5 inches, covers more skin with every pass and stays easy to grip when wet and soapy.
Plastic Free and Biodegradable
No plastic mesh, no synthetic foam. Every material is plant based, and the whole pad can be composted at the end of its life.
Quick Dry Cotton Loop
A woven cotton twill loop lets the pad hang and air dry between showers, keeping the fiber fresh for longer.
Grown Along the Nile
Loofah is not a sea sponge. It is the fruit of a climbing vine, Luffa aegyptiaca, named for the country that has grown it best for centuries. Ours ripens on Nile Delta farms, dries slowly under the Egyptian sun and is cut and sewn into pads without ever touching a synthetic material. It is the same honest fiber Egyptian hammams have trusted for generations, finished to the standard of everything else we make.
The Two Minute Ritual
Soak the pad for half a minute and the firm fiber relaxes into a supple mesh. Add your body wash to the loofah side and work in slow circles from the shoulders down. The texture lifts away dull surface cells and wakes up circulation while the lather does its work. Finish with the terry side for a soft final cleanse, rinse the pad, and hang it by its loop.
Skin That Feels New
Regular, gentle exfoliation is the quiet secret behind soft skin. It clears the dry surface layer so moisturizers absorb better, helps prevent ingrown hairs and leaves a healthy glow in place of rough patches. Paired with a thick Egyptian cotton towel, it turns an ordinary shower into something closer to a spa hour.
Nothing Synthetic, Ever
A plastic mesh pouf sheds microplastics every time you scrub and lives on in landfill for centuries. Our pad is the opposite. Loofah fiber, cotton terry, cotton twill, nothing else. Use it for weeks, then compost it and start fresh. Premium for your skin, honest to the planet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the loofah pad?
Soak the pad in warm water for 20 to 30 seconds until the fiber softens, then add your body wash or soap bar to the loofah side and massage skin in gentle circles. Rinse it clean and hang it by the loop to dry.
Is it too rough for sensitive skin?
Dry loofah feels firm, but it softens noticeably once soaked. Start with light pressure two or three times a week and use the soft terry side for everyday cleansing. Most people find the fiber pleasantly invigorating rather than harsh.
How long does one pad last?
Natural loofah fiber holds water and skin cells, so dermatologists recommend retiring it every 3 to 4 weeks. If you scrub every day, plan on a fresh one every 2 weeks. Rinse and hang it after each use to get the most from every loofah, and retire it when the fiber flattens or it keeps a musty smell.
How do I keep it clean?
Rinse thoroughly after every use and hang it to dry fully between showers. Once a month, refresh it with a five minute soak in warm water with a splash of white vinegar, then rinse and dry.
Can I use it on my face?
The soft terry side is gentle enough for the face. We recommend keeping the loofah side for the body, where it works wonders on elbows, knees, heels and shoulders.
Is it really a natural loofah and not plastic?
Yes. Each pad is cut from the dried fruit of the loofah plant, Luffa aegyptiaca, grown in Egypt for centuries. There is no plastic mesh or synthetic sponge anywhere in the pad, so a retired pad can go straight into the compost.
Which pack size should I choose?
The single is a trial. The 4-pack is a month for two people or two months for one. The 12-pack is a quarter for two, half a year for one, works out under $10 a loofah, and is the only pack that ships free.
Where are the pads made?
Our loofah is grown, sun dried and sewn in Egypt, the same origin as our Egyptian cotton towels, and ships to you in plastic free packaging.
