The authentic African net sponge, also called sapo sponge in Ghana, is a long, stretchy exfoliating body sponge loved across West Africa. Sourced from Togo, this extra-long net sponge reaches your whole back, lathers richly and gently scrubs away dead skin for smoother, cleaner-feeling skin.

Why shoppers love our African net sponge

  • Extra long and extra large: easily reaches your back
  • Great lather with any soap, especially African black soap
  • Quick-drying nylon mesh that's more hygienic than loofahs
  • Durable: lasts much longer than ordinary shower sponges
  • Assorted colors
  • Ships in about 2 business days across the U.S., or pick up in Chicago

How to use an African net sponge

  1. Wet the sponge and add your favorite soap or body wash.
  2. Scrunch it to build a rich lather.
  3. Hold both ends and scrub your back in a sawing motion, then use it bunched up for arms and legs.
  4. Rinse well and hang it to dry after each use.

Tips

  • New sponges can feel firm, and they soften after a few uses.
  • For sensitive skin, use gentle pressure and bunch the sponge looser.
  • Pair it with raw shea butter after your shower for soft skin.

Frequently asked questions

What is an African net sponge?

A long, stretchy mesh body sponge used across West Africa for exfoliating and bathing. It's known as sapo in Ghana.

Is an African net sponge better than a loofah?

Many people prefer it: it's longer (reaches your back), dries faster, lasts longer and makes more lather.

How often should I replace it?

With proper rinsing and drying, a net sponge can last for many months. Replace it when it loses its texture.

Where can I buy an African net sponge near me?
