Has anyone got one of these? I do struggle to bend down in the shower, so think something like this would be a godsend. I'm just wondering how good they are, and which type people would recommend.

this kind?

or this kind?

how about a loofah?

I had one of these. It did the job but had a horrible plasticky smell which permeated the whole of the house and never improved. Eventually I gave it away to the village swap shop.

I have very sensitive feet and dislike them being touched even by myself, so hated using it.

I have a scrunchy that I throw on the shower floor and scrub my feet on it, does the job fine.

Was that a link to the one you had shysal.

Sorry, missing ?

Tanith that's what I do. Anchor one bit down with one foot, scrub, then do the other one. It works and a lot cheaper than those things advertised. Give it a go.??

tanith and Auntieflo good idea, thanks. I think I'll try that first.

I had a full sized shower mat that had bristles all over it. It did a good job of removing hard skin but turned a dirty grey colour very quickly and seemed impossible to clean. OH also hated it and kept complaining it was a nuisance to move as it had good suction pads. I got rid of it as it looked dirty and we had visitors arriving.

Yes it was a link, Bathsheba. I have clicked on the blue words, it seems to work for me. Here is a picture in case it is not coming up for you.

I now use a scrunchy too.

mine isn't this make - I just googled for a similar one. I'm not sure if it would meet everyone's needs, but t works fine for me

Thanks shysal, but I didn't actually mean "was that a link" like, I couldn't get it to work. I meant "was the scrubber in the link the one you had". Haha, sorry, I can see now it could have been taken a different way!

Sorry. I was being thick! Yes it was the one I had, so wouldn't advise you to buy the same.

Was thinking about getting something alone those lines - will now try the scrunchy instead smile

I used one like the 2nd one in the OP it didn't smell and worked quite well but binned it after a year and now tend to use a long handled back brush to reach all the bits I need to.

I've got the first one you showed. It is great ! There are suction cups underneath, so it stays in one place, and it gives your feet a good scrub. I hang it up in between uses, so it doesn't stay wet or get mouldy. Good luck !
