Those of you who shower barehanded: Do you lather and then use your hand, or just shove the soap wherever it needs to go?

Do you wash loofahs like you can a washcloth? If no, it just sounds like it could get gross like using an old dirty sponge.
I just replace mine often (each week) since they're only like a dollar or two, personally.
That sounds wasteful
Well the little card that they come with says to replace it every two weeks... And you can very clearly tell when they're getting to the "old gross sponge" feeling that the other person mentioned.
I don't have the time or patience to wash a washcloth after every use. Loofahs dry out more quickly than washcloths or sponges (I'm talking the plastic artificial ones). I'm sure it could get gross, but I throw them out before they get too bad. You can wash loofahs in diluted bleach every few weeks to keep them clean.
You mean the plastic ones or the real ones? The plastic ones you can hand wash but I wouldn't stick it in a washing machine (you probably could if you used a laundry bag and put it on low spin)
