Who needs Brad Pitt when you could have this bath mitt?

It rhymes, that's the only thing about it that makes sense. Don't overthink.


I bought this bath mitt on a recent trip to Bliss Spa in NYC. I have had my eye on the strange-ish products the Supracor company makes for a long time now. It's unique technology, and I've always wondered if it lived up to the claims (and the price tag). The cells are shaped like honeycombs. They are naturally antibacterial, hollow, and they flex in a way that stimulates the lymphatic system. That means bye bye, cellulite.

When I brought it to the counter at Bliss, the cashier nodded knowingly and said they were incredibly popular and hard to keep on the shelves. That's all it took to get my imaginary tail wagging with excitement. I couldn't wait to get that sucker unwrapped and into my shower. It's a glove, just put it on and give it a swipe with bar soap or a small dollop of body wash and rub a dub. Verdict? This thing creates the nicest, gentle-yet-effective scrubby sensation I've ever experienced. It's an odd feeling, as the cells shift back and forth and sort of jump over the skin. It's odd in the nicest way possible. I love reaching for it every morning. It elevates the mundane task of showering to an absolute joy.

I tried using it with a coffee body scrub once, and I have to say that it was a total fail. I say scrub first, mitt later. My mitt smelled like coffee for a month after. No bueno.
