What it actually is The African exfoliating net — sapo in Nigeria, and known across West Africa as the bathing net every household keeps — is a long, stretchy strip of knotted nylon mesh used in place of a washcloth or loofah. Not a trend — it is how generations have gotten properly clean. Why it replaces your loofah A loofah holds water and breeds bacteria inside itself. An authentic African net is open mesh — it rinses clean, air dries in minutes, and goes through the washing machine whenever you want. It is real fabric with real knots, not the flimsy imitations sold as African shower scrubbers. As one customer put it: "Loofahs and shower puffs are cringe compared to these beautiful nets." What it does for your skin As a body exfoliator, the net works as a dead skin remover — lifting dulling buildup, leftover body wash and the residue a washcloth leaves behind. Expect smoother texture and better circulation from the first wash, including on the rough, bumpy skin that shows up on the backs of the arms and thighs. It also makes body wash lather properly, which no bare hand will do. How to use it Wet your skin and the net, add body wash or bar soap, then scrub in small circles from the shoulders down. Stretch it taut behind you and this African bath net becomes a back scrubber that genuinely reaches — no handle, no contorting. Rinse, wring, hang to dry. How to clean and care for it Rinse after each use and hang to air dry — far faster than any exfoliating bath cloth. Machine or hand wash weekly. Cared for this way, one net lasts 2+ years. Before first use: our nets are hand-dyed, so deeper colorways can release a little excess color at the start. Cure your net under warm running water — or run it through one wash — before it goes into the shower or the tub. Why ours Cee Cee's Closet NYC is run by two sisters in Brooklyn who grew up with this net in the bathroom. We cut ours to full length so it reaches the whole back, and quality-check every one before it ships. Customers come back for a second, a third, and then one for everybody in the house. Dimensions: stretches to 42 inches by 16 inches. Nets are hand cut, so size may vary. Woman-owned. Black-owned. Made with intention in NYC.
