A gentle stretch of fabric, and suddenly your whole back is within reach.

This natural back strap is a long, woven body exfoliator with handles on each end. This one is soft on one side and slightly rough on the other, so you can choose the feeling your skin is asking for. It’s designed to help you reach and cleanse the parts of your back your hands can’t easily get to, buffing away dry, rough skin so your back feels cleaner, smoother, and more refreshed.

How to use your back strap

Basic use:

• Wet your skin and the back strap in the shower or bath.
• Add your favorite Alywillow cleanser directly to the strap, or lather it in your hands first.
• Hold a handle in each hand and move the strap back and forth across your back in gentle, sweeping motions.
• Use the soft side for daily cleansing and sensitive areas.
• Use the textured side for rougher spots that want more exfoliation.
• When you’re finished, rinse your skin and the strap thoroughly and hang it up to air dry completely.

Got an itch you can’t quite reach?

Pull gently on the handles and guide the strap right to that spot—no itch is out of reach now.

Alone in the shower?

No problem. Your back strap becomes your extra pair of hands, so you can cleanse and care for every part of your back on your own.

Pairing with Alywillow Cleansers

Many of us at Alywillow love using this back strap as a way to bring our plant formulas directly to the skin on the back, where we can’t usually reach well.

You might choose to:

Daily cleansing & clarity:
Add Wildwood or Lemon Laughs Cleansers to help keep the back feeling fresh, clear, and comfortable, especially if you’re prone to back breakouts.

Deep support for stubborn back issues:
When dealing with more intense, cystic-type challenges on the back, some of us prefer Warrior or Sagerow Cleansers, believing they offer stronger support when used consistently over time.

Comfort for tight or tired backs:
If your back simply feels tense or weary, you can use Minty Relief Cleanser on the strap. Many people enjoy the way the cooling, minty botanicals seem to ease the experience of discomfort while you gently massage and cleanse the area.

Use the strap to bring your chosen Alywillow formula exactly where you want it, letting the plants and the gentle exfoliation work together.

How to wash it (with your towels)

To keep your back strap fresh and free of buildup, regular washing is essential.

Everyday care

• After each use, rinse it well under clean water.
• Squeeze out excess water and hang it in a well-ventilated space to dry.
• Avoid leaving it crumpled in a damp shower, as that encourages mold and mildew.

Deep cleaning (with your towels)

• When it starts to look dull, feel less fresh, or hold onto product buildup, it’s time for a deeper clean:
• Toss the back strap into the washing machine with your bath towels.
• Use warm water and a mild, natural detergent.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners so the fibers stay strong and absorbent.
• You can machine dry it with your towels or hang it to air dry—both methods help reduce the chances of mold and mildew when it dries fully.
• How often to wash

Light use: Every 1–2 weeks is usually enough.

• Daily use or heavy exfoliation: Wash it at least once a week.
• After you’ve been sick: Wash it right away before using it again, so it feels energetically and physically refreshed.

Treat this back strap as a simple, natural ally: a way to bring living plant cleansers to the skin of your back, to keep it cleaner, smoother, and more lovingly cared for, day after day.
