Anyone else get tired of replacing loofahs all the time?

I feel dumb even asking this but are silicone body scrubbers actually worth switching to?

I’ve been using regular loofahs forever because that’s just what I grew up using, but honestly I’m getting annoyed with how fast they get nasty. Even when I rinse them and hang them up properly they still start smelling weird after a while and then I gotta toss them again.

Saw those silicone scrubber things online and people keep saying they last way longer and are easier to clean. I’m mostly interested because I’m trying to stop buying disposable bathroom stuff every couple months. But I also dont wanna waste money on some trendy thing that ends up sitting under the sink after 2 weeks.

Do they actually feel clean enough compared to a loofah though? Thats kinda my main concern. I like that rough scrubby feeling and I’m worried silicone might just feel like rubbing a plate on my skin or something.

Curious if anyone here switched and actually stuck with it long term or if you eventually went back.
