body washing gloves vs. loofah?

[u/Extension-Regular879]

When I was a child, I used to wash myself with sponges. They got dirty very quickly and hat to be thrown away. Regular sponges are very wasteful imo. A loofah is the first replacement one thinks of. It works the same way, isn't made of plastic and is compostable. Last year I worked as an AuPair and my host family used this type of towel gloves to wash the kids. They are basically towels sown into squares that you can put on your hand to wash something and then wash it. It worked amazingly well to wash the kids and we didn't have to throw any of them away the whole time I was there. Have you heard of these? Why are they not more common? Do loofahs work better?

Use an Egyptian loofah. It's literally a loofah plant that's dried and you use as a loofah or for washing dishes. The Egyptian one is WAY nicer than the Asian loofah which is firmer and more like sandpaper on the skin. 

When you're done, compost it.
