Oval Sisal Pad
A palm-sized oval sisal pad: slide your hand under the elastic strap, lather and scrub. The firm weave is easy to use on elbows, knees and heels; the other side is soft terry.
DetailsSize, materials and use
In short: The Oval Sisal Pad is a palm-sized pad with woven sisal on one side and terry cloth on the other; an elastic strap on the back goes over your hand. It measures 4.9 x 6.3 in (12.5 x 16 cm), is used wet with soap or shower gel, and is made in Türkiye.
Sisal is a firm, durable plant fiber taken from the long leaves of the agave plant and spun into yarn; it is also used for rope. Here the yarn is worked into an open weave with a firmer, more noticeable texture than loofah. Because it is a plant fiber, texture and shade vary slightly from piece to piece.
The pad sits in the palm, which makes it easy to use on arms, legs and rough spots like elbows, knees and heels. For a fiber that softens in water, see the Face Loofah Pad; for a mitt that covers the whole hand, see the Sisal Exfoliating Glove.
Benefits of Sisal
- A noticeable scrub: the firm weave lifts away dead skin; skin feels smooth afterward.
- Good on rough spots: easy to use on elbows, knees and heels.
- Durable fiber: sisal is strong enough to be used for rope.
- Holds a lather: the open weave works soap or shower gel into foam.
- A plant fiber: made from the leaves of the agave plant.
- Dries in the air: the open weave lets air through; rinse and hang.
How to Use
- Wet the pad and slide your hand under the elastic strap.
- Work soap or shower gel into a lather on the sisal side.
- Scrub in circles with light pressure; spend a little longer on elbows, knees and heels.
- Turn to the terry side for a softer touch.
- Rinse; then rinse the pad, squeeze it out and let it dry in an airy spot.
Start with once or twice a week and adjust to what suits your skin; take a break if you see redness.

Do not use on irritated, broken or sunburned skin, or during an eczema or psoriasis flare-up. Sisal has a firm texture; on sensitive skin, try the terry side first. Do not use around the eyes or on areas with active breakouts or rosacea.
After the scrub, wrap up in a peshtemal towel or a bathrobe. See every mitt and loofah in body scrubbers and exfoliating mitts, or browse the bath collection. Made in Türkiye.

FAQWhat is sisal?
Sisal is a firm, durable plant fiber taken from the leaves of the agave plant and spun into yarn. In this pad the yarn is worked into an open weave that forms the scrubbing side.
How do you use a sisal pad?Wet the pad, slide your hand under the strap and work soap or shower gel into a lather on the sisal side. Scrub in circles with light pressure, then rinse the pad, squeeze it out and let it dry.
Sisal vs loofah: which is rougher?Sisal is the firmer of the two. A woven sisal face keeps its texture when wet, while loofah is firm when dry and softens in water. Choose sisal for a more noticeable scrub and loofah for a softer one.
Can I use a sisal pad on my face?Sisal is firmer than loofah. If you use it on the face, wet it fully, work up a lather and use very light strokes away from the eye area. On sensitive skin we suggest the terry side or the Face Loofah Pad instead.
How do I dry a sisal pad and when should I replace it?After each use rinse it well, squeeze out the water and let it dry in an airy spot. Replace it when the fibers fray, darken or keep a smell.
