Our Authentic African Net Sponges are made of 100% nylon, also known as Sapo, Sapor or African exfoliating net sponges are produced in Africa by Africans from West Africa. 
What is a Sapo? Actually, the word is saponaceous meaning a frothy bubbly lather. In many regions of Africa there is a tree called the Horse Chestnut 🌰, this type of tree produces an oily seed that yields a butter like fat which is used for soap making, so the African net sponge for bathing was named Sapo for short. 

Sapo net sponges are known to help buff and polish away dry dead skin while stimulating and improving blood circulation. 
One of the most unique features about an authentic sapo is its woven netting with knots at every crossing, which is what gives you that exhilarating exfoliation. If it feels stiff at first not to worry overtime the netting will slightly soften and stretch, so those hard-to-reach places such as your back and the bottom of your feet will become much easier to clean. 

Another benefit is the amount of product you’ll need to apply to your sponge; just a few drops of liquid soap or a gentle rubbing on your soap bar will give you more than enough cleansing suds, your skin will feel clean, smooth and soft after every bath or shower.

Tip: after your bath apply a body moisturizer to keep you hydrated and smooth all day.

How it works:
* Aerate your sponge with soap under running 💦 water together to achieve loads of clean bubbles.
* When you're done pulled down along the net with your hand to squeeze out any excess water and hang to dry, this will help give your sponge a longer life.
* You can also toss it into the washing machine the same way you would any washcloth for a good cleaning and hang to dry.

  • Note: The first few times will take getting used to it is NOT a gentle scrub
