Choose by reach
For arms and legs, choose a mitt or palm pad. For your back, look for a two-handle strap or a brush with a long handle. A foldable cloth is easy to pack for travel.
Choose by grip
A mitt stays close to the hand. A palm loop steadies a flat pad. A strap gives each hand a point of control.
Start with light pressure
Wet the tool and use light strokes. Rinse well and let it air-dry after each use.
For arms and legs
A mitt keeps the washing surface in contact with your palm. A pad offers a broad surface that you can guide with a flat hand, while a small disc is easy to turn around knees and elbows.
For the upper and middle back
A two-handle strap lets you adjust the angle by raising one hand and lowering the other. A long-handled brush suits a one-handed grip and is useful when you want to work on one side at a time.
For travel or a shared bathroom
A compact cloth folds flat once dry. At home, check how much room you have on a hook or drying rack. Cloths and straps can dry opened out, while pads and brushes need room around their surfaces.
Try the grip with light pressure
Wet the tool and start with a few gentle passes. Adjust your grip if you find yourself squeezing hard. Rinse the tool fully and follow its care instructions after use.
Compare the options at a glance
Use the chart to narrow down your choices, then check the individual product page for photos and use instructions.
What to look for in product photos
Check how the hand fits around the grip, where loops are positioned and how much of the tool can lie flat. A bathroom scene can also help you decide where to hang it or set it down.
