Lather brushes are commonly made from silicone, various plastics, and natural woods or fibers such as bamboo or beechwood.
Lather brushes use a range of surfaces, including soft long bristles, short firm bristles, silicone bristles, natural loofah or pouf netting, sponge or massaging attachments, boar-hair bristles, and flexible plastic bristles.
Handle styles vary from long, ergonomic handles for reaching the back to palm-held grips with convex or nonslip designs for better control in the shower.
Cleaning guidance varies by material: some silicone brushes can be sterilized (even boiled), while loofah and pouf brushes are typically rinsed, hung to dry, and replaced about every 30 days.
