Quick answer
Place a dry or slightly damp soap bar inside the sisal bag, pull the drawstring closed, wet the bag, and rub it between your hands or directly on your body to create a rich lather while gently exfoliating your skin.
Why use a sisal soap saver bag?
Sisal Soap Saver Bag
A sisal soap saver bag does two jobs at once: it helps your soap bars last longer by preventing them from sitting in water or slipping out of your hand, and it provides a gentle physical exfoliation thanks to the natural sisal fibers. Unlike plastic loofahs, sisal is biodegradable and compostable, making it a more eco-friendly choice for your shower routine.
The bag also works up a luxurious lather faster than using a bar alone, which means you use less soap per wash. Over time, this can save you money and reduce packaging waste.
Choosing the right soap for the bag
Sisal soap saver bags work best with solid soap bars, shampoo bars, and conditioner bars. The texture of the sisal helps create a foamy lather even with low-sudsing natural bars. Avoid using liquid soap or very soft soap that might ooze through the weave.
How to use a sisal soap saver bag in 6 steps
- 1. Open the bag and insert your soap bar: Uncinch the drawstring and place a dry or slightly damp soap bar inside the bag. For best results, use a bar that is firm and not too soft. A dry bar lasts longer inside the bag than a wet one.
- 2. Pull the drawstring tight: Close the bag securely by pulling the drawstring so the soap bar is snug inside. Make sure no part of the bar is poking through the weave. A loose bag can let the bar slip out during use.
- 3. Wet the bag under running water: Hold the bag under a stream of warm water for a few seconds until the sisal fibers are fully saturated. The bag will feel soft and pliable. Too much water makes the lather watery; start with a light wetting and add more if needed.
- 4. Work up a lather: Rub the bag between your palms or against your body in a circular motion. The sisal fibers will help create a thick, creamy lather quickly. If the lather is thin, add a little more water or rub the bag more vigorously.
- 5. Use the bag to exfoliate gently: Continue rubbing the bag over your skin using gentle pressure. The natural texture of sisal provides light exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells without irritation. Avoid scrubbing too hard, especially on sensitive areas like your face.
- 6. Rinse and hang to dry: After use, rinse the bag thoroughly to remove any soap residue. Squeeze out excess water and hang the bag in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely between uses. Hanging the bag to dry prevents mold and extends the life of both the bag and the soap bar.
