Bring home a traditional way to cleanse and exfoliate with our African net sponge, commonly known as sapow in Ghana. This everyday bath essential is designed to deeply cleanse, gently exfoliate, and help remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.
Our sapow net sponge is ethically sourced from Ghana and handcrafted using a durable, hypoallergenic material made for daily use. Its long, flexible design measures approximately 32 inches long and stretches up to 50 inches, making it easy to wash your back and other hard-to-reach areas.
Why you’ll love it:
✓ Creates a rich, soapy lather while gently exfoliating the skin
✓ Helps wash hard-to-reach areas with ease
✓ Dries quickly, making it more hygienic than traditional loofahs and washcloths
✓ Helps remove dead skin cells and support healthy-looking, glowing skin
✓ Durable, lightweight, and easy to travel with
✓ Use, toss in the washing machine when needed, and reuse
Because each sponge is handmade, colors may vary slightly.

I was in search for a net sponge after hearing from some family members that they are amazing for exfoliation and other benefits, I went to look for a store within my state or nearby me that I could purchase and support locally. After using this product once, I am blown away at not only how soft my and clean my skin feels but the lather too!! I am looking forward to continue to purchase product from this store, it’s saved in my phone and can’t wait to support in future purchases. Thank you so much.

Amazing wash nets. My daughter used hers first and actually enjoyed taking a shower. Said she wanted to just relax and take a nap in the shower after using the net for the 1st time. My wife and I won't be using anything else...EVER

Immediately upon use the towel ripped. Not the quality I expected. I'll go with someone else for future purchases. Thank you
Store owner replied: We’re so sorry to hear about your experience, and we truly appreciate you letting us know, Belinda.

I love shopping with Ayebea's Charming Beads. There is always something beautiful to get. My daughter loves the Sapow-Exfoliating Sponges. I love the waist beads. When they put them on me they stay, period. I will be grabbing a new set soon.

This is my second time buying a net. Husband left his first on the road and he was so upset that he left it behind. I told him that I could order another one and he’s been happy with his replacement.
Store owner replied: This is wonderful, Jacqueline! We’re so glad your husband has his net back and is happy with the replacement. We appreciate your continued support; it means a lot! Thank you!

My skin was so much softer and smoother after the first use. I'm obsessed! Better than a loofah and a korean hand glove by 1000 times. Cant believe I went this long without one.
Store owner replied: Wow, thank you so much for this amazing review, Jeannette! We’re excited to hear you’re loving the sponge and noticing such a big difference. It really is a game changer! We're so glad it's become part of your skincare routine; no more going back to loofahs or Korean gloves now!
My skin is soft and glowing! My moisturizer and perfume lasts longer after use. I love it!

Made my skin feel softer and cleaner than it’s ever felt, and I’ve noticed less body acne since using!
Love this! It lathers very well and it’s not like the other exfoliating sponges you buy from the store. I will love to have more of these.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your purchase and support. We are glad you love the sponge.
At first glance I noticed the African Sponge Net was smaller than I expected, but once it was wet it stretched to a nice length. The African Sponge Net color (dye) bled, but after soaking it in some cold water it stopped. Otherwise the quality is good, lathered and hold soap really well, and wasn’t too rough.
