Spongeables is a line of of sponges that come pre-loaded with Shower Gel. Just wet in the shower, squeeze a couple times, and luxuriate in mountains of bubbles. Spongeables are reusable for up to 20 or more showers. Patent-pending technology ensures that you don’t get over-bubbled. Spongeables come in a wide range of sizes, formulas, and scents – everything from basic sponge-and-soap, to men’s and kid’s formulas, to hand and feet formulas, to exfoliating and anti-cellulite formulas.

The shower gel comes in a variety of scents that I love. They are all clean and linger, but never smell perfumey. Lavender nectar and peony are my current favorite scents. You get ridiculous amounts of bubbles – and who doesn’t love bubbles? You get a bubble bath standing up. Plus with ingredients like shea butter and olive oil, the Body Wash formulas are very hydrating.

I am not crazy about the sponges themselves. The regular sponge-side is just perfect, but I found the buffer side (which isn’t on all sponges) to be almost painfully abrasive. The disposable nature of Spongeables is a little undesirable, as even the largest model will last less than a month. A traditional loofah may last me a year or more. Of course, with a Spongeable, I wouldn’t have to buy a Separate Body Wash (in its own bottle and packaging), and I could probably use the sponge with my own shower gel. I will let someone else do the hardcore analysis.

The perfect use for Spongeables is travel – I don’t think I could ever go back to packing Separate Body wash. With no liquid, Spongeables will pass through security with no problems, and there is no risk of leakage in your bag. Small Spongeables are good for week-long trips, and even longer trips that will necessitate a bigger Spongeable still won’t consume too much pack space. At the end of the trip, you can throw it away, and use that space for extra souvenirs.
