Bathorium Little Charlie Konjac Bathing Sponge

I ordered this not realizing it was meant for little kids. I just saw a bathing sponge and that it was made of konajc and into the cart it went. But now since I have it- may as well go ahead and use it...

Bathorium claims:

Hand-harvested and plant-based, the little charlie™ konjac sponge is crafted for delicate, sensitive skin. Made from 100% natural, biodegradable vegetable fibers, it provides a gentle daily cleanse that lifts impurities without stripping or irritation. Naturally antibacterial, it helps prevent the buildup of bacteria often found in traditional loofahs or synthetic sponges - making it a safer, cleaner choice for your little one’s skin.

Soft enough for newborns yet suitable for dry skin sensitivities like eczema-prone skin, this plastic-free, compostable sponge gently cleanses while offering a soothing, mindful bathing ritual.

Usually I stick with cotton washcloths. It's the eco friendly choice but once upon a time I was really into the plastic loofahs.

You know the ones:

I don't use those anymore because I try to eliminate using plastic where I can. So I haven't used one of those for years. These days there are so many alternatives- no need to use those. My go to will always be washcloths but the kojac sponges have me curious. I know they were trending a few years back. 

Mostly I see them for the face. So I saw this- didn't read the description and bought it. I don't know how they turn the plant into a bathing sponge- but I do love that it's plastic free and biodegradable. So it won't sit in a landfill forever more.

As a sponge it's pretty nice. Gets nice and sudsy- it can help stretch a bar of soap as you can use less to cover more. And it feels like bathing with a little cloud. The texture is so interesting. It is a little small- to be expected since it's for bathing babies/kids. But I can work with it. 

I like the really cute star shape. 

It's supposed to last 3-4 months. I'm not sure it will last that long, I've been using it almost a month and I can definitely tell it has some wear and tear. Nothing too bad. I can't see it lasting more than 2 months- but maybe.

Overall, I'm into it. Maybe I'll buy another one sometime down the line- it's not the most cost effective- at least compared to a washcloth. But if you already replace plastic loofah's this is definitely a more eco friendly alternative to those. 

I'm glad I branched out a little bit.
