Begging 3M - Bring Back the Sticks for Body Sponge

Confused Consumer - 8 months ago

I would give the sponges 5 stars. Like many others I see who reviewed them, I used them for many years and love them. However, I am completely baffled as to why they did away with the stick, hence the 1 star review. How are you supposed to use these sponges to clean your back? Please, please, pretty please bring back the sticks and I will happily rewrite my review and give it 5 stars!

I have used Buf Puf products since I was a teenager and love the back scrubber. I am able to find replacement scrubbers, but not the handle. I see I am not alone and have found other sites where people are seeking them. Why would this be discontinued?

We have been using the buff puff back scrubbers for years. I had several and now that there is only one left I am very disappointed that this product has been discontinued. The puffs are useless without the stick. Bring back the stick!!!!!

The combination of buf-puf sponge and handle is the best back scrubber there is on the market. However, the back sponge by itself is practically useless for cleaning the back without the dedicated back scrubber handle. If the handle is not re-manufactured, I will stop purchasing the sponges, and I imagine most others will as well. Why in the world would a company stop selling half of their product that is essential for use, unless they want to go out of business?

WE NEED THE HANDLE BACK. This scrubber is useless without it. BRING IT BACK. As you can see from the reviews on this website and multiple others. Your consumers have a great great need for the attachable handle with this product. PLEASE sell the handle again.

Great Scrubber but only with the Handle

My husband has been using the Body Buf Puf for over 20 years and has one handle left. Over time they can get brittle and easily break and when it does then bye bye Body Buf Puf unless 3M brings back the handle. Without the handle he can’t reach his entire back to clean it, which was the primary reason for using the Body Buf Puf in the first place. Please bring it back or else 3M will lose a loyal lifelong customer!

I have been using the Buff Puff body sponge with the handle for 30 years. I had 3 sets and kept ordering the sponges. One handle broke and I left one in a hotel room! With only one left I am trying to find another handle set and cannot find it anywhere. Please let me know how I can get more handle sets. Please!!!
I started years ago and never stopped!!!

Mine came with the handle and makes reaching the whole back and legs a breeze. Really wish 3M would release some new handles. I'd buy one just to have it. You shouldBuy several just in case.

One Lonely Star because 3M stopped making the VERY HANDY & NECESSARY back scrubbing handle for their Buf-Puf Body Sponge!!! Why any company would devalue a successful bathing product by making it essentially unusable for a person to reach / clean 50% of their torso is a total mystery. That is exactly what 3M has managed to accomplish despite being an organization filled with patent holding engineers. (When last I checked 3M holds more patents than about anyone.) This situation proves that there is a distinct difference in conceiving, designing, manufacturing a consumer product... and cultivating longtime sales and customer rapport. Congratulations!! Give yourself a patent on how to alienate many long-time purchasers of your Buf-Puf products.

I love this body sponge and have been purchasing and using these for over 30 years. I was purchasing these at retail stores but now can only find limited sources on line. Please don’t discontinue these! They are the only product that keeps my skin smooth and prevents in grown hairs on my legs. I will continue purchasing these even if you don’t sell the handle I see others posting about. I never tried the handle but it sounds like a great product too. I would purchase one now if it were offered again. There are no other sponges on the market that compare to these! They are the best!!!

My buf-puf back scrubber just recently had the handle (hook portion) break off. It lasted many, many years & I didn't think anything about purchasing a new one EXCEPT that I cannot seem to find any to purchase because it seems as if they are no longer manufactured. Please bring back the manufacturing of the Buf-Puf back scrubber.

I love the sponge for cleaning my back but cannot use it without the handle! It makes no sense the handle is not being produced anymore! Why?! Please produce the handle, otherwise it is useless to just buy the body sponge as the only part that needs this kind of scrubbing is the back.

I remember my aunt using BufPuf for her skin back in the early 90’s. She always had smooth radiant skin and her answer was always the use of these sponges. As a thirty year old women with a skin condition that requires a good exfoliator, I have found that most sponges do not do the job. Bufpuf gave the right amount of firmness to exfoliate while still pliable to use all over. It’s a great sponge and hope they never stop making these. It’s done wonders for my skin.

I started using these in my 20’s when a drug rep brought a sample into the pharmacy where I worked. I am now pushing 70 and still using this product. I recommend it to people all the time. Am so great full this product has not been discontinued. However I used to have the back scrubber handle and loved it. My scrubber handle got lost in my last move and I have been trying in vain to find a replacement. Please start selling them again, please, please, please! I would happily post a photo, if I only had one. As I age, my back is beginning to feel as if barnacles are growing on it. I am a widow, so no husband to beg for a back scrub. If I could just find a handle; I’m sure the Buf Puf product would help me rid myself of this barnacle like problem.Please help save me!

I can’t get a handle on your reasons for discontinuing the handle for the buf-put body sponge. Like many reviewers here, I have been using this product for many years. Now that I am down to my last handle I am ready to fly off the handle upon learning that I can’t replace it!
Please bring back the handle!

I have been using Buf-Puf facial sponges and body-sponges for over 30 years. They now are a second generation addiction as my daughters are also fans. But please consider manufacturing the handle again as it is so hard to clean your back without it!!! I would personally buy a stack!!
