The Scrub Down: Saving Money and Skin with Smarter Shower Choices
If you're anything like us at Obbi, you know that the shower is more than just a place to get clean—it's your daily escape, your spa moment, and sometimes the only peace and quiet you get all day. But have you ever stopped to wonder how much your shower routine might be costing you? Spoiler alert: it’s more than you think. Let’s talk about how switching up your routine could save your family money and maybe even improve your skin health along the way.
The True Cost of Body Wash
Body wash is one of those household essentials that quietly eats away at your budget. According to a recent report by Statista, the average American spends about $5.40 on body wash per bottle. Now, let’s do some math. If you’re a family of four, each person using about two bottles of body wash per month, that adds up to $43.20 a month—or a whopping $518.40 a year!
And let’s be honest, kids are not exactly known for their soap conservation skills. (Ever walk into the bathroom to find a puddle of body wash on the shower floor? Yeah, us too.) That’s money literally going down the drain.
Enter Obbi: The Silicone Scrubber That Saves
Here’s where Obbi’s 100% silicone shower brush comes in. Unlike traditional loofahs or washcloths that require you to pour on half a bottle of body wash just to get a decent lather, Obbi’s unique design helps you make the most of every drop. Thanks to its durable silicone material and soap dispensing technology, it creates a rich lather with minimal soap—meaning that same $5.40 bottle of body wash can last way longer.
Switching to Obbi could cut your family’s body wash usage in half, saving you upwards of $259 a year. Imagine what you could do with that extra cash! A family day out, a gym membership, or even just a little less stress when it comes to grocery shopping.
Healthier Skin, Happier You
Let’s talk about another hidden cost of traditional loofahs and washcloths: your skin’s health. Loofahs are notorious for trapping bacteria, mold, and mildew. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology found that loofahs can harbor harmful bacteria like Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus if not replaced regularly, yuck!
Silicone scrubbers like Obbi, on the other hand, are naturally resistant to bacterial growth. They’re easy to clean and don’t hold onto moisture, making them a much more hygienic choice for your skin. Plus, the gentle exfoliation from silicone bristles can help improve circulation and leave your skin feeling softer and smoother without irritation. Talk about a win-win!
Benefits Beyond the Bathroom
Here’s the thing: saving on body wash isn’t just about money. It’s about sustainability and reducing waste. By using less soap, your family helps cut down on the environmental impact of plastic packaging and harsh chemicals that can end up in our waterways.
And if you’re trying to set an example for your kids about being mindful of resources, this is a small but impactful step in the right direction. Imagine teaching your little ones that saving a few bucks here and there can add up to bigger savings—and a healthier planet.
