  • @BelindaOwusu1
    @BelindaOwusu1 Před 5 lety +443

    For the african sponge if you stretch it out the long way you can cleanse your back and neck as if your wrapping a towel across your back if that makes sense !

    @shelovesthemso2350 Před 5 lety +154

    “The inside of your little girl may clean itself but the outside does not.” Thank you girl. I feel sorry for anyone who does not cleanse the outside of their vag with a good, healthy cleanser. And your shower looks so refreshing it makes me want to take another one.

      Claire Olomi simple dove soap works perfectly fine or baby wipes. It’s not that serious

    • @ShaysWay
      @ShaysWay Před 4 lety +3

      Claire Olomi are you aware of all the chemicals in vagisil? Invest in a natural wash please.

    • @kelab4599
      @kelab4599 Před 4 lety +3

      @@ShaysWay not everybody can afford a natural wash. Dove isn't meant for your vagina, summers eve is terrible, and using baby wipes doesn't clean it enough. Vagisil however, works really well and even has a sensitive, no fragranced wash for people who have super sensitive kitties.

      The products that she presented are good, I definitely didn't know some of them. However, you can save money by making your own sugar scrub (super easy) and I haven't bought shave cream since I started shaving my legs with cheap hair conditioners, they are AMAZING for a close shave. Buy some things, but there are some things you can make on your own. Save your money!

    In my family to wash ourselves we use these bath gloves which are basically the african body sponge as a glove and with smaller holes

    I first saw Natural Niecy using that shower sponge, now you Kaice and I really need to try it. I prefer wet skin moisturizers also because I live in Jamaica and it can get pretty hot especially in the summertime.

    Wow glad to see ppl are hip to the African Sponge. Ive used it ALL my life right from childhood. For those asking where to buy it from just go to a local African grocery store. Most of them sell it and it shouldn’t be no more than $6
