The GOSHI exfoliating sponge is made in the 1,400-year-old textile capital Gunma, Japan, carefully and considerately manufactured by what we believe to be some of the best textile producers in the world. It was produced as a balanced exfoliation solution for everyone.

The GOSHI Exfoliating Shower Sponge is made in Japan using the same signature material as our bestselling body towel. Its unique woven fibers gently scrub away buildup while cleansing skin and creating a rich lather.
Two uniquely developed threads work together to create the ideal balance of effective exfoliation, rich lather, and everyday comfort. Unlike traditional loofahs and body sponges that trap moisture, GOSHI’s quick-dry material helps keep your sponge fresh between showers. Durable and gentle enough for daily use, it’s an easy way to upgrade your body care routine.

Goshi shower sponge deserves all its 5 start reviews. It is gentle unlike the harshness of most Loofas and is just perfect for face as well as terrific for the rest of your body. I, personally, prefer my Goshi to fit comfortably in my hand so I've cut it into 4 lengths, sewed each into a glove-like form and it works brilliantly in the shower or over the sink. ( My preference. Not suggesting a massive scissor job for anyone else. ) My husband enjoys his Goshi in its original shape and says he is hooked as it works effectively sudsing up his back. Goshi's are colorful as only the Japanese could create. The quality is superior. You won't be sorry and it's worth every penny.
I liked it. Forms a rich lather. But less than a month in, the outer layer already ripped.
There is nothing special about this body scrubber at all! It's Exactly like every other scrubber on the market! It doesn't get you magically cleaner than all the rest,infact I actually have better exfoliating scrubbers that I got from the dollar tree! Only difference is the fancy packaging! I would not order again!
This is a very nice shower sponge that lathers well and definitely exfoliates your skin. It would be perfect to use before applying self tanner. There is a loop on top that I use to hang it on my shower caddy to dry. I have included a pic of GOSHI recommendations from the packaging, which states DO NOT use this product on your face or other sensitive areas or on infants, do not machine wash, do not expose to heat above 175F/80C, and do not use if you have a skin condition or allergic reaction. Packaging also states that the product is 100% nylon.I really like this shower sponge and would recommend it if it's within your budget, but in my honest opinion, I feel that the price is too high in order to consider this a value.
This exfoliating scrubber works well and as advertised dries quickly - much quicker than other sponges I’ve used. It also suds up well. I do think that it is a little pricey for what it is though.
Amazing
Perfect amount of scrubbing "srrength"
Fantastic
Great wash sponge
Use with a hydrating shower soap to get rid of dead winter skin.
Dries quickly in the shower on a hook.
Does not seem to get an odor or mold/mildew.
Awesome for exfoliating. And it makes it easy to scrub your own back.
My husband loves it. The Goshi products are very durable.
I'm always in the market for a good loofah. These things are exceptional. I've been using it now for a couple months, no issues. It has a nice roughness to it without being too harsh. It holds a ton of soap and lathers up exceptionally. A little body wash goes a long way with this loofah. A little on the pricey side, but if it lasts, it's definitely worth it. Don't listen to the negative reviews, this thing is great
I have been the Goshi shower towel for about 3 months now, am\nd I really like it, so when I saw the matching scrubby, I thought I'd try it. I am not disappointed. It's a great exfoliator for legs, arms, torso, and feet. I just put a little shower gel on it, and it's a quick scrub to keep my skin smooth and healthy. I've ordered one for my hubs, and two for our motorhome. Great product!
With a man's hand and flexibility this songe can reach anywhere. It's compact size avoids the splashing about from the bath towel. easy enough to use in shower or at the sink for nightly bedtime face wash . Very nice , dries fast. exfoliates well , easy to use quickly .
I like my GOSHI Shower Sponge! It lathers up quickly, is comfortable and cleans well. It is the perfect size to fit in a bag that contains your other shower supplies. It is well made and worth the money. It dries quickly after use. When it is time to get another one, I will purchase a GOSHI!
Great sponge. Good quality. Not too harsh, does a good job of exfoliating without stripping skin. Dries fast and fits perfectly in the hand. Will definitely purchase again.
I’ve been ordering these for the past year and they are much better than your standard poof
Super soft core, with gentle exfoliating texture
Way better than a loofa
Load the pad with a tiny bit of soap and proceed to scrub and wash your whole body. The "teeth" remain sharp and fresh even after 60 showers.
Works well for opening the pores on my hands so that my hand lotion works better!
The shower sponge is the perfect size for daily exfoliating . The towel is still needed for your back . Great product !!!!

Seems very well made.
Lather's well. Easy to use. Not too aggressive, but still exfoliates.
It's a nice sponge for exfoliating but I wish it was a little bit bigger
Easy to use, so soft and great for exfoliating
Like it!!! Make me feel clean
I really like this GOSHI. I wish they made a smaller one because I am a female with smaller hands. It's hard for me to squeeze it like I would like to make suds.
FAQs
How often should you change your shower sponge?
GOSHI's Exfoliating Shower Sponge is built to last. We typically recommend replacing your shower sponge every 3 to 6 months, though we feel confident it can last for a year or more with proper care. Compared to traditional loofahs, which often need to be replaced monthly due to bacteria buildup and wear, GOSHI is designed for long-lasting performance.
Keep in mind that everyone's routine is different. If you exercise frequently, work outdoors, or shower multiple times a day, you may want to replace your sponge sooner.
To help your sponge last as long as possible, rinse it thoroughly after each use to remove soap residue, squeeze out excess water, and hang it to air dry. Proper care helps keep it fresh and performing at its best.
How do you use an exfoliating shower sponge?
Using the GOSHI Exfoliating Shower Sponge is simple:
- Wet the sponge and add a body wash, such as our Super Vitamin Body Wash. Lather for 5–10 seconds until it creates a rich foam.
- Rinse your body and the sponge thoroughly. Gently scrub your skin in circular motions, working across your body. Apply light pressure and avoid sensitive areas or broken skin.
- Squeeze out excess water and hang the sponge to air dry between uses.
How often should you exfoliate your body?
Most body exfoliators should be used sparingly, with 2–3 times per week being the general rule. However, GOSHI's Exfoliating Shower Sponge is gentle enough for daily use, helping remove dead skin and buildup without being overly harsh on your skin.
After exfoliating, what should be the next step?
After exfoliating, rinse thoroughly, pat your skin dry, and apply a moisturizer to lock in hydration. We recommend following up with our Super Vitamin Body Lotion to help nourish and support healthy-looking skin.
