Ok, so I am in need of a new sapo. Sapo [for my Americanos or faking Johnny-Just-Comes (JJCs) aka the people who landed yesterday but all of sudden do not know what fufu is], is an Akan term for a net-like material that we use to bathe—it is reminiscent of the poof you get with some body washes but is a bit more coarse, is long enough for back washing, and gets the job of cleansing and exfoliating done more effectively. We call it “sponge” but technically it is not actually a sponge. In any case, we have been exfoliating way before it was called exfoliating ohhhh, we just called it adwariee (bathing); why do you think most Ghanaian and/or African women/people have such smooth skin. You better ask somebody!!! P.S. ignore the guy in your chemistry class with ashy feet; he is not a good example. But I digress…so while I await my Sapo shipment, I decided to go to Wal-Mart and purchase a Loofah in the interim because I cannot neglect my exfoliation regimen. Well, let me tell you, Loofah is not equivalent to Sapo. Chaaley, talk about 419. First of all, the thing swelled when I wet it and then when I tried to add soap to it, it just seemed to absorb the soap so I had to apply soap several times, wet the shege again, and then scrub quickly before the soap disappeared. Bathing has never been such a production! Then to top it off, I must have scrubbed too hard because my skin was burning after I finished (user error?!?!?). Chaaley, I was heated. Then what makes me even distrust that loofah shege even more is that it can stand up on its own. Ehn? Sapo is supposed to hang, supposed to exfoliate but not burn your skin, and is not supposed to stand. Let me tell you, I was giving that thing the side eye as I stepped out of the shower. So my people, if you need to replace your sapo, make arrangement prior to losing the sapo or before it becomes unusable, otherwise, you will find yourself in my crazy predicament. Then again, you might be one of the people who just use a washcloth. Ehhhh, America has helped you. My friend, get a sapo and wash your body well (dwari yie ohhhhh) and stop the Abrofo Sem.
P.S.S. I will post pictures when I get home so you can actually see that thing standing up.
End of PSA!

Buuuuaaaahhhh, no one told you to go the loofah route. Umm, do the African stores sell sapo's? I'm sure shoemaker has some...hahaha. I've tried the loofah and swore never to use it again...doesn't do the job of a sapo. Wash cloth, that's like rubbing soap on your body & rinsing...twwccheewww
Where were u when I was buying that crazy thing? Tcheeeeeeeeew indeed, it was a hot mess. It is now sitting in my bathroom staring at me. I will check Shoemaker.
OMG. Girl you have problems. I hope you get sapo soon cuz dis loofah de vex and cause wahala too much!
LOL...I do have problems...raw skin. I hope I get it soon too. Haba
You are truly a fool and a half. I must say, I have no idea how people can use washcloth all their lives. Just one bath with a sapo and you will feel like a whole new world has opened up. And don't finish it off with a pink Sure roll-on...Heaven!
LOL to fool and a half. Pink Sure roll on is the truth too.
Interesting read..Never thought about the smooth skin was due to "Sapo".Hey!,do the African American's also use "Sapo"?who has more of a smooth skin,the African or the African-American?
hmmm i be telling these madams out here that "u ain't clean until u use sapo oh"! i tried the loofahs and those dredful washcloths ABEG!!! tryna fit in where i don't belong eeiish, never again oh.
