When it comes to bathing, I’m a bath girl. They’re relaxing, they’re rejuvenating, and if I have the option to clean myself while reclining, why would I stand in the shower? Once a cumbersome chore in childhood, bathing has become my most important self-care ritual. But as a renter in Brooklyn, I’m limited to my apartment’s little tub and I don’t have room in my budget for the fancy soaps or soaking treatments sold at a premium by the wellness industry.
Seeking to elevate my at-home bathing experience without breaking the bank, I tried Spongellé Private Reserve Spongettes. These small, round sponges come pre-soaked in body wash, and at just $12, each sponge costs less than a bottle of Bath and Body Works shower gel. Running the sponge under the faucet for a few seconds causes the suds to start spilling out. But this isn’t some one-trick pony. Spongellé Private Reserve Spongettes have enough body wash suffused into the sponge to last 5+ washes. Now I can do my at-home spa bathing ritual every weekday, starting the second after I turn off my Slack notifications.
