Why These Bath Tools Don’t Compare

We’ve seen them all. From towels to hard plastic poufs, every bath tool claims to clean skin. But only one actually delivers. We lined them all up against LUV SCRUB, and the competition didn’t stand a chance.

LUV SCRUB

Origin: Discovered in West Africa

Used On: Whole body

Exfoliation: Deep and effective

Why We’re Obsessed: The long mesh hits every curve and all the hard to reach areas. Quick-drying, lasts up to 18 months, and leaves your skin smoother than your best comeback. Honey, it’s worth every penny.

Verdict: The gold standard of exfoliation. Iconic. Durable. Worth every stroke.

Exfoliating Gloves

Origin: Worldwide

Exfoliation: Moderate

Bacteria Drama: Dries well and stays clean

The Tea: Feels fancy but falls flat. Short reach and fabric wears down over time, leaving smooth spots where the magic once was.

Verdict: Cute idea, clingy in reality.

Mesh Pouf

Origin: United States

Exfoliation: Light

Bacteria Drama: Loves bacteria so much it turns black inside

The Tea: Sure, it makes bubbles, but it does not exfoliate. It doesn’t clean, collects mold, and can’t reach the back.

Verdict: Fluff and a nightmare.

Natural Loofah

Origin: Egypt, Asia, and tropical regions

Exfoliation: Moderate

Bacteria Drama: Loves bacteria a little too much

The Tea: All-natural, gets rough, molds fast, and cannot reach your back.

Verdict: Earthy, but risky.

Korean Towel

Origin: South Korea

Exfoliation: Deep, sometimes too deep

Bacteria Drama: None

The Tea: Great scrub power but a little too intense if you’re not in a Korean spa. Hard to reach your back too.

Verdict: Great on vacation, painful on Monday morning.

Silicone Brush

Origin: Modern Asia and the United States

Exfoliation: Light

Bacteria Drama: None

The Tea: Looks techy, feels meh. Barely exfoliates and does not reach the back.

Verdict: Smooth to the touch, not to the skin.

Washcloth

Origin: Global basic

Exfoliation: Mild

Bacteria Drama: Germs can linger if you’re not careful

The Tea: Cheap and cozy, but don’t expect exfoliation or full-body cleaning.

Verdict: Cute, but your skin won’t thank you.

Back Brush

Origin: Europe and Japan

Exfoliation: Moderate

Bacteria Drama: Keeps germs away unless left wet

The Tea: Reaches the back, but you’ll need a second tool for everywhere else.

Verdict: Great for targeted use, not an all-in-one solution.

Dry Brush

Origin: Europe and Japan

Exfoliation: Moderate

Bacteria Drama: Germs don’t hold on

The Tea: Not for the shower and not for reaching your back.

Verdict: Perfect for dry skin, but not a full routine.

Sea Sponge

Origin: Mediterranean

Exfoliation: Gentle

Bacteria Drama: Can turn into a microbial party

The Tea: Luxe and soft until it starts smelling bad. Reaching your back is nearly impossible.

Verdict: Cute in cartoons, not in your shower.
