Bath scrunchies that don't fall apart?

Can anyone recommend a brand of those nylon scrunchies that people use in the bath or shower to wash themselves, that don't unravel after a few uses?

I've been buying packs of cheapies from Poundstretcher, but they are in the bin after a week.

Wouldn't mind paying more for longer lasting ones.
:D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    I buy them from Home bargains, they last me several weeks. I can't imagine they are any better quality than those from poundstretcher though.

    If you mean a shower puff I 100% recommend the Body Shop ones. Superdrug, Boots, Soap and Glory ones come loose and unravel from their spiral quite quickly. Body Shop ones won't stay in a tight tight ball forever but don't unravel like ever. Honestly can't remember when I bought the one I'm using it's that long. I sometimes throw them out for the sake of hygiene but not due to falling apart. And BS is always going on some offer.
  • Have been having the same problem lately.

    Thanks for the tip Cazs will try the body shop
  • I 2nd Caz's BS recommendation. I have one that came in a gift set, slightly smaller than most but after 6 mos still going strong.To clean it I throw it in the washing machine with my towels once a week.

    I 3rd the Body Shop recommendation! I also have had good ones from Soap and Glory that last ages too!

    I use the Body Shop ones that I usually get in gift sets! They're small ones and I've never had them come apart or unravel. I have so many of them in my cupboard because of buying so many gift sets in the sale (with the 40% voucher that always happens this time of year)

    Did you see the recent "news" articles saying how they're a breeding ground for bacteria and 98% of dermatologists advise against them...?

    I'll second Home Bargains at 39p, mine seem to be lasting ages just lately so maybe they have stronger batches in this time.

    I've had mine for years, and it's been in the washing machine a few times. Still going strong! I can't actually remember buying it, but I think it would have been either in Boots or Superdrug.
