Love these citronella sponges. Take them with us to use on holidays abroad to keep the mosquitoes away.
Nice strong smell with loads of soap in thr sponge,like that it has a sponge side then another side to exfoliate
🧽🧽🧽As a person mozzies are naturally attracted to and who has tried everything possible I was skeptical. I react badly and really suffer from itchy red nasty bites and sometimes holidays feel like torture. A friend introduced me to the citronella sponge and I was very doubtful but after reading about mozzies are attracted to certain types of skin microbiomes I decided to give it a try. Every morning I’ve thoroughly exfoliated and cleansed my whole body in the shower. The result ….not a single bite in 10 days in Italy and my skin feels wonderful. I often have a second shower, same routine for the evening. And bonus I cut the sponge in half to make it easier to use 🧽🧽 🧽
Used this sponge on a holiday to Turkey and didn’t receive one single mosquito bite! For someone who suffers terrible reactions to bites and is normally plagued with having to spray strong chemical repellents on my skin each day, showering with this sponge was an absolute revelation! I’ve already ordered one to have in my suitcase for our next holiday.
I have again stocked up on this product.
I originally ordered this last year to see if their claim that it would prevent mozzie bites was true.
It did what it says on the tin.
I have previously had to cover myself in high level deet repellent, and wear trousers on my holidays, and still got bitten!
I shower every day with this, and now am able to wear short dresses in the evening, because I have had less than 4 bites in 4 holidays! They aren't even bad ones!
I used to get 4 bites in the first 2 days!
Totally transformed my holiday experience.
The added bonus is that you don't have to worry about your liquid allowance if ,like me, you only take hand luggage.
I've now bought again for my next 2 holidays!
Please don't stop making this fantastic product.
I have given it a five star as I haven’t used it yet. I hope it is good to use in Mauritius in November.
Amazing. Went to Egypt and only got a couple of bites. Im usually eaten alive. Will definately buy again.
Great sponge my husband & myself use on our holidays & have avoided being bitten. Smells divine
