Grasshopper New Media Presents...

Editor’s note: I’m very excited to introduce Laura Harris as a new contributor to Great Family Gadgets.

The Heart Collection by Loofah-Art is the newest batch of loofah sponges made by the company, consisting of a heart, a star, a butterfly, a bear, a fish, a cat, a bunny, a flower and an apple. Although the new line of sponges is geared towards teens and young adults, I thought I’d give it a try anyway.

First try: bath time with my 3 year old

The cute bear-shaped loofah fits nicely in the palm of your hand, making it easy to hold. The texture was soft and smooth not irritating to the skin. And the design was very appealing to my son, as he quickly added the loofah bear to his brigade of bath-time buddies.

From the mom’s perspective: loofahs can’t get into the ‘nooks and crannies’ that need to be cleaned.Call me old school, but nothing seems to work better than a good ol’ wash cloth.

The loofah had a great feel to it and left my skin feeling smooth. My personal preference, however, is to use a much larger sponge when bathing myself.

Next up: Mom

The Heart Collection loofah didn’t exactly work for me, but I would definitely give Loofah-Art a second look. They seem to have quality kitchen and bath products in fun, unconventional designs – from a jalapeño pepper to a martini glass to a dollar bill. Not only are their products environmentally friendly, but the company gives back of percentage of its profits to the indigent farming communities who grow loofah sponges.

If only I was 20 years younger…
