How to choose a bath sponge by texture

3 min read · Beauty House HQ

Not every bath tool feels the same. Some are smooth and gentle to hold, others have a more textured feel.

Here is a simple way to choose by texture, using what you already like in the shower.

Smooth and soft

A smooth silicone scrubber has soft nubs and a flat back. Our Silicone Body Scrubber, 2 Pack comes as a pack of two, each about 9 x 8 cm.

It suits people who like a light touch and a quick rinse.

Textured and grippy

A textured fabric glove has a rougher weave. Our Textured Shower Gloves, 2 Pair are nylon, about 20 x 14 cm, one size, with two pairs in a pack.

They suit people who like a firmer feel and an easy slip-on shape.

Try one of each

If you are not sure, pick one smooth tool and one textured tool, then use whichever feels right on the day.

A few practical tips

Think about where you shower. If your tools hang on a hook, either style dries easily. If they sit on a shelf, choose the one that rinses quickly.

Color can help too. The Silicone Body Scrubber, 2 Pack comes in sage, blush or cream, chosen in the color step, so one pack can cover two people in the house.

With a pack of two scrubbers and two pairs of gloves, you can mix and match, and keep a spare drying while you use the other. Our shower and bath helpers collection has more handy bits.
