Lunatec® Self-Cleaning Travel Washcloth. Odor-Free, Quick Drying & Light Exfoliation. Wash Cloth is Ideal for Camping, Backpacking, Showers, Gyms & Boating. Compliments Any Towel.

I bought these for backpacking use, and they're fantastic. They weigh nothing, and take up about as much space as a chapstick. The self cleaning aspect is just the loose weave, and nylon material. Nothing can stick to it essentially, so it doesn't hold a lather well either, but that's a trade-off. The plus side is that it dries almost instantly. The little elastic loop on the corner is handy for hanging it out, and for tying around it rolled up for packing. The coarseness is perfect too, lightly exfoliating for good cleaning, but not at all harsh. Since it was a two pack, I gave one to my wife, who immediately fell in love with it. She wants one just to wash her face with every day now... for any type of travel use, I would 100% recommend this product.

I wanted to give these some real world use before I gave them a review and since it's now be 5 whole YEARS or constant use since my purchase I figured it's time.Short review:I've NEVER "washed" them, they've held up, they pack tiny, they dry REALLY fast, they don't smell, they exfoliate, I'm impressed, and I'll be buying more! (but only to gift them)Longer review:Let me start by saying I fell in love with these as soon as I got them.They are just rough enough to feel like you're getting a good deep clean but not so harsh that its uncomfortable in any way. It's true that they don't hold a lather very long but who cares, it's just long enough to clean a 5'6" body (if you fold it in quarters and start from the top of your body) and that's what matters.They feel like a flat loofah but are way more convenient and super easy to pack for camping and travel. I just rinse it off really good in the shower, ball or roll it up in my used drying towel for a few seconds to suck the water out of it then mash it in a little pocket in my toiletry bag. No real need to air dry.They have never once picked up a smell, even after sitting in my bag or days or months at a time waiting for travel.The pictures show their state after 5 entire years of use. And while the one clearly has been used a bit more (it's the stay at home and gets used more frequently cloth) than the other it still works exactly the same. I have/do travel and camp quite a lot with the other. Who gives a hoot if it pills up a little. It's a washcloth not a fashion piece. It's still a complete square and not tattered.In short again:Buy them, they make for a GREAT travel and everyday cloth!

I purchased two of these "washcloths" for travel when hotels do not always provide facecloths. Sure enough - I encountered the issue on a recent trip to Europe. I was feeling quite clever at having foreseen this problem and having found a solution for it, however, when I put this "cloth" to use, it was probematical. Because it is a plastic mesh, it does not absorb water - hence - it drips all over! It works best in the shower, where dirpping water makes no difference. However, when trying to wash my face prior to sleep, water was all over the sink, couontertop, and floor. That being said, it does do the job the advertising says it will do - you can wash your face/body/child with it and its friciton will make you cleaner. The scratchiness is not extreme - you will not be injured using it. It does dry quickly - I rolled mine into a towel prior to repacking and it was fine at my next desetination. If only it didn't make such a mess!

I bought these to take backpacking as they made of extra light material and they dry really quickly. I didn't have to worry about packing a wet washcloth, they literally dry in a few minutes. They are really like one of those scrubby pads you use to wash pans or one of those shower scrubby things. I didn't actually buy them for use as a washcloth. as I knew they would be a little rough for my skin. I bought them to use to wash my bowl, cup and cooking pan while backpacking and the other one I cut and sewed it into a little carry bag for my pStyle PUD because the material is breathable and again it dries quickly. So it was nice to have something to store the pStyle outside my pack while I hiked and let it basically air dry out after I used it and rinsed it off. Excellent product for hikers and backpackers.

While this will never replace my regular wash cloth it will come in handy for travel and/or camping or when I really want to exfoliate.This wash cloth is very rough and very thin and flimsy. It does a great job of exfoliating, which is not something you want to do daily. Since it's so thin and flimsy it doesn't hold its shape well which makes it difficult to use as a wash cloth. I tried holding it flat in my hand but it flopped over and didn't work well that way. I finally scrunched it up and used it like a bath puff which worked OK but then it was pretty tiny. For those reasons I prefer to use a regular wash cloth unless I really need to scrub my skin because it's real dirty or because I want to exfoliate.This would be great though for travel especially to foreign countries that do not provide wash cloths in their hotel rooms, (such as Iatly), because ti dries so fast. You can shower with it the evening before you leave, or even that morning and pack it up shortly afterward. There's no need to put it in a plastic bag, as it will dry out quickly and be ready to go at your next destination.The quick drying and ability to rinse it out completely also make it very useful for camping. It won't get musty.Now as to the claim that it's self cleaning, well I'd take that with a grain of salt. You're using this to wash your body and you're washing your body for a reason, it's dirty. That dirt does transfer to the cloth. Yes it does rinse out nicely but there's a limit. When you think about what may be on your body, (especially in certain areas - think e-coli), it's probably a good idea to wash this periodically. It may be rinsable and quick drying but it can't kill germs and let's face it, there are germs on your body.
