5 Things That Give Me a Strange Sense of Satisfaction
- Taking off my bra after a really long day
- Flossing the HECK out of my teeth
- Cleaning my belly button with a Q-tip
- Clipping my toe nails (it’s even better if they’re really long)
- Vigorously exfoliating with these shower gloves
I just picked up this cute new pair by EcoTools ($3). It’s made from 65% recycled materials, which I thought was pretty cool. Probably puts a lot of old plastic soda bottles, yogurt cups and tubs of margarine to good use.
The gloves feel soft and pliable, yet they’re still coarse and dense enough to give my bod a good scrubbing.
I got them in green because they matched my bath towels (nerd!), but they also come in brown and blue. 🙂
Oh, and I also like that EcoTools donates 1% of their annual revenue to environmental causes.
PRICE: $3
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Target stores (they don’t appear to be sold online)
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A+
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I hate toenails and love clipping them!!!
Karen says
Me too! I can’t stand when they get too long. I can feel them hitting up against the tops of my shoes. Drives me nuts!
Chris25 says
EcoTools is so awesome. 🙂
One thing that gives me satisfaction is rubbing BIG FURRY KITTY TUMMIES!!!
Karen says
Heehee! Especially when they’re XXXL!
Angelic Mariposa Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ says
LOL…I love removing blackheads even though I shouldn’t!!
Karen says
Not gonna lie, I enjoy that too.
Vijaya says
Ooh! I needed a new pair of shower gloves.
Karen says
Hope you can find these. They should be a most drugstores.
Rads says
Hehee your list is hilarious!! I didn’t know Ecotools donated 1% to charity every year…
Swatch And Learn says
I didn’t know that, either, Rads. Very respectable. Even though it’s 1%, at least it’s something. 🙂
Hehe, and Karen, I would SO get those gloves to because they also match my green towels. Not nerdy at all. 😉 We just like everything to go with each other. 😀
Karen says
Might as well, right swatch? Now everything in the bathroom matches. Towels, bath mat, exfoliating gloves…
Karen says
Isn’t that cool? I wish more companies did things like that.
Nina says
i <3 EcoTools! they also have a facial cleansing sponge that is pretty much made of awesome!
Karen says
Ooh, I’ll have to look for that. I like that their products are generally easy to find and affordable. Plus, they work well!
Nina says
yes they are! the brushes are great as well!
Carmela says
I was just looking for exfoliating gloves recos. Very timely, thanks! 🙂
PS. I agree with Things That Give Me a Strange Sense of Satisfaction #1 so very much.
Emmaline says
Such a big fan of number 1 as well. Sometimes i unhook it in the car on the way home!
Karen says
Haha, I do this! Shoot, if I’m going to sit in traffic I might as well be comfortable.
Advah says
(cough I may have done this at work when a strapless bra proved too tight on more than one occasion cough)
Linnea says
Haha agree with all of the above. Number 1 is like the best thing ever, and Advah — defintiely did this last week(the boy was SHOCKED, and did not understand.)
Karen says
You’re welcome, Carmela!
Sonya says
I’ve never heard of shower gloves before… but what a GREAT idea!
Karen says
You should give them a go! They’re great for when you want to feel squeaky clean.
Vonvon says
I have not tried shower gloves or bath mitts before. I just depend on body scrubs! Haha! That’s totally different. But may be I should get a pair, as the movement of this on the body will stimulate the circulation.
Karen says
Try your favorite scrub with a pair of gloves! They take exfoliating to the next level.
Shannon says
I love Eco tools!!! They make the best products. I have tried everything from their lip balm and bath loofahs, to their makeup brushes.
Karen says
They make some really nice brushes. Have you tried their kabuki? It’s one of my faves.
Sarah S. says
LOL… agreed on your list! You’re so relatable <3
Cristina says
Ha Ha! I insist ur so funny! I’m talking about the things that give you sat.. And I agree ha ha! Well not the bra bc for me it’s nothing there to hold! 😉
Marian says
I just did my toenails…I know what you mean! It was very satisfying.lol
Emma RZ says
I have these. They are great but just a bit too big for my wee hands so I wish that they were a bit smaller.
gio says
I’ve never tried shower gloves but that might change soon. They sound interesting..
Kirsten says
Totally with you on the bra thing!! Also – peeling sunburns (gross, I know) and unbuttoning one’s skinny jeans in the car on the way home from a particularly large meal. 🙂
JaNelle says
Ha ha.. I love cleaning my belly button too!!! But seriously these gloves are as good as bought!
Chelsea says
taking a bra off at the end of a long day is THE BEST!
My skin’s a little too sensitive this time of year for that kind of thing, but they look good! I love EcoTools.
PinkGlitter says
I really like EcoTool brushes- great quality and affordable. I guess I never noticed that they make stuff beside brushes.
Leah says
I’ll definitely be picking these up in blue (also to match my towels, haha).
I share your sentiments with #1 so much, especially if the bra is a push-up. I told my SO to imagine if his boxers had underwire….needless to say he was kinda weirded out lol.
Annabella Freeman says
I wish I’d seen those when I was in US in September. I went to Target twice how I didn’t notice them I don’t know????
