luffa
Natural bath sponge
A luffa is a tropical vine of the gourd family, or the fibrous interior of its mature fruit used as a scrubbing sponge.
The dried skeleton of the gourd becomes rough and porous, ideal for exfoliating skin in the bath: She scrubbed her back with a luffa.
Also spelled loofah.
