lightweight Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 My daughter asked me the very same thing. I guessed some kind of dreadlock net too!

KidKruger Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Keep guessing - I'd thought it was for washing or storing vegetables but was well was well wrong.

KidKruger Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Alex - I did ask. So I was seeing who knows what it really is.Not a mozzie net, too large a mesh and too small a piece.

KidKruger Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 It's for back scrubbing and body scrubbing.I've just heard that's what 'exfoliate' means - so pipsky had it earlier I now realise !Well done. It had me wondering for ages. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/39612-rye-lane-shopping-always-wondered/#findComment-705939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipsky2008 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I used to go the Peckham Pulse steam room a few years ago when I first saw them being used, so got one myself but it may have been an improvisation in the first place. I never actually asked a retailer what they are for. They are a bit fierce on the skin, if you've got a pimply back, but do the job probably alongside carrying your yams home or a hundred and one other uses Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/39612-rye-lane-shopping-always-wondered/#findComment-706057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 There's so much in some of these shops that I haven't a clue what it is nod have the balls to ask, again and again.
