name of those puffy shower washing thingy-majigs

Whats the actual name of those shower/bath poof balls? That look a bit like corals?

They're made out of folded net-like material and you get them from supermarkets or in those sets where you get body wash and mosituriser etc.

Do they have an actual name or do different companies call them different names?

I call it a poof.
It looks like a 'poof'. It feels like a 'poof'. If it were to make a noise, it would be 'poof'.

I've always called them fluffer buffers.
I call them "One of those poofy-netty-fluffy-scrubby things to use in the shower."

Seems like most people have puff/poof in the name, but which should it be? puffy or poofy?????? BTW puff can mean gay but it's also how puff as in a puff of smoke is spelt, meaning soft and fluffy . . .

They're similar to loofers but they tend to be more elongated and made out of a solid material as apposed to the netty material the poofy/puffy thingys are.

Hhmmm I did try and find them on a couple of sites but because I don't know their official name, I couldn't find them :frown:
