I was thinking the same thing recently. I purchased a silicone body scrubber. So far it works fine. It doesn’t lather as much as a luffa but it works for my needs. I think the people talking about luffas aren’t looking at the transportation costs and manufacturing costs. Even if the luffa is eco friendly, it isn’t eco friendly to get it delivered a couple times a year. The first R is reduce.
