I've used a nylon scrubbie for years. The Salux bath towel is much better! I received it as a gift from someone who had one and knew how wonderful it was. It has a fairly rough texture which is a fantastic exfoliator. I use it with a bath gel (never soap, it's too drying) and my skin has never been softer. It's extra long length makes it perfect for getting your entire back. It drys very quickly - Can't live without it!

Many years ago I came across this product at a luxury resort in Guam. I have used this product for about 12 years now. I absolutely love it. It exfoliates my skin beautifully. I use it all over my body. People stop me all the time and comment on my skin it looks just like porcelein. I can't live with it now.

They are calling the item Salux/Leyjie Japanese wash cloth, so that when you purcahse it they can still claim that they were being honest when you get the Leyjie (Chinese) knock-off. THIS IS NOT THE SALUX JAPANESE PRODUCT! order from Emma's Cosmetics & Skin care they sent me the real deal, and it actually cost a little bit less.

I'd been looking for a small back brush to take on trips, but couldn't find anything the right size, one that wouldn't take up much room in a suitcase. This nylon cloth works well as it dries quickly and is coarse in texture, similar to a brush.

When I bought this there was nothing to indicate that it was the Chinese knockoff, Leyjie. When it came I really liked it, but it did look cheaply made and a little rough to use. When I actually got the real Salux, I realized just how much of a difference there was between the two. The Leyjie is thinner, lighter with cheaply sewn seams. It also more abrasive and produces less lather than the original. If you aren't sure which one you have look on the pack to see where it's made. Salux is made in Japan, Leyjie is made in China and the Salux washcloth has the logo sewn into the seam as well. The bottom line is that the Leyjie is too expensive for what you're given.

I've been using these clothes for 3 yrs now, ever since I found them by accident on Amazon. They are the best thing about my shower. It only requires minimum shower gel to get a great long-lasting lather, which means I've actually noticed I buy less shower gel over the months! The length is great for cleaning your back and any other hard to reach places. But most importantly after every shower my skin feels SO SMOOTH AND SOFT! It's better than any of the (often expensive) exfoliating scrubs I've used in the past. This is really important in winter months when I suffer from really dry skin. It by no means cures my dry skin, but since I started using these I no longer get alligator skin on my legs like I used to. They're also really durable and easy to rinse clean. I usually get a new one each year, just to be safe when it comes to a hygiene, but they could easily last longer than that. Best shower/bath-related purchase I've ever made!

I've used Salux Nylon bath towels for more than a decade now. I first learned of these in Japan.

I've found no other bath towel that is more durable for the price. A single towel usually lasts me 6-9 months.

I often travel for business. I can't stand the hotel bath towels that are never long enough to scrub my upper back. Besides that, the towels are too soft to provide any scrubbing power.

So, I carry one of these nylon bath towels in a Ziplock bag and keep it in my shaving kit. The towel dries out in about an hour (time for breakfast), then I put it back in the Ziplock bag and I'm ready to go.

The towels come in several colors -- blue, pink, yellow -- should that matter to you. The towel is durable, easy to carry, and reasonably priced (buy lots at reduced prices to save on shipping).

I was first exposed to this about 6 years ago while visiting my friends in Mexico. When I first saw it, I was skeptical and even thinking..."What the hell is this?" I tried it once and I can't imagine taking a shower without one now.

If you never tried one, it will be rough at first (especially if you shower using just a bare soap bar or a face towel). But give it a chance, break it in and you'll never use anything else. I'm surprised that these haven't caught on yet.

Having been given an earlier version of this product by a Japanese woman in Hawaii in 1988, I was delighted to discover this product available now. These "towels" make the smelly, soapy washcloth obsolete. They foam well with soap, then rinse clear. They really scrub the skin, doing the exfoliating that leaves skin soft and smooth. The long length facilitates back-scrubbing and foot-cleaning. Try one and you won't go back to using washcloths.

I have used a Japanese Beauty Cloth for a dozen years. The cloth is long-lasting, invigorates and scrubs the skin very effectively and resists mildew. If you like a vigorous scrub, it is the best!
