25 quid for a piece of net fs!😂

[@davidevans3175]

My wife's family have a factory in China. The cost of manufacture of that piece of nylon is probably less than .01 cent, they are made in massive rolls by the hundreds daily. Selling it for $25 is beyond ridiculous, particularly with it's lower-than-premium looking packaging. It looks like something from the dollar store. The "it lasts 3 years" angle is a weak way to find some kind of value proposition, yes it lasts 3 years because it's nylon, a synthetic which takes 250 years to break down in a landfill. Nice girl, not so smart.

[@user-mt5ew9mk6r]

China are great 👍 ❤🎉and it's not expensive.

Yh but how about this rock 🪨 It will last you 1000000+ years. $25M pls 🤲🏽

[@DarthScosha]

She's selling a bit of nylon mesh for £25?

[@romitacharji9343]

This stuff is too expensive at 25 pounds. She has an amicable personality but her price point is too high to be a mass market product

[@Poemiserable]

Yup. You are correct.

[@Hutchyy]

Amicable personality 😂 what a compliment

​@@closetometrue, the majority never actually happen in the end

[@mjpiroca]

I think Touker is very much on point about this product and even if the entrepreneur follows his advice, Nett Exfoliator will never be a massive product. It just isn't supposed to be. But at least it won't go back to selling 80 units / month.

[@bottlewaddle6677]

it was 80 for the year

[@brooklyndecember]

Those have been selling on Amazon for years under different names.

[@t3mpomusic]

Not sure if she is selling this on Amazon but I found the same product and you get 4 for £9.99 and it does the same thing

[@littleboots9800]

Yeah, you can buy these in any African beauty store in London for a couple of quid.

​@@littleboots9800They are free in South Africa when you buy a pocket of oranges. This is crazy.

This looks like its worth about 50p.

[@judypethegan]

you can get this down the local afro shop for about a pound

[@BenjaminGoose]

There's a shop dedicated exclusively to afros?

[@tiernodiallo1]

​@@BenjaminGooseDon't know if you we're joking but an afro shop is generally just a shop that sells African products, nothing to do with afros. Although you can buy afro combs there 😅

[@judypethegan]

exactly @@tiernodiallo1

[@LV2UJC-FM]

Sarah was spot on. The product can be easily replicated, plus it's priced too high. There's an unlimited number of exfoliates made out of Nylon that can bought either online or in retail stores, machine washable, and some of the cheaper ones are priced from $2.50 to $7.25.

[@jeffstarzw]

Cheerful lady despite being turned down 👏🏽

[@skye.1030]

She should sell that in Poundland

[@theozzy4717]

Very good idea. She'd shift a lot more.

[@user-mt5ew9mk6r]

I take a towel or a t-shirt or whatever and wash, I actually rub the back of the whole body with that and soapy water. Her product is good and expensive. Better by any cheap long cloth .

[@jonathan0834]

Isn’t bird netting from the garden store the exact same thing?

[@kahyui2486]

I get this plastic net thing free when i buy wash scroungy things 😂

My mother used to take the netting around onions etc and sew them and make pretty bath scrubs. Everyone did in the 50s 60s.

[@jessbarnes8521]

Most people use exfoliating skin scrubs.

[@jessbarnes8521]

Sell it in fairtrade shops (people still wouldn’t pay £25 for it).

[@sanjuansteve]

If it can't be made from natural, biodegradable materials, don't make it. And that's a ridiculous sales price too.

[@emc59789]

Anybody paid £25 for those got ripped off

[@rafdahouk9341]

The disposable cheap ones are not hygienic? They are constantly in soap and water! Oh but this product you can put it in washing machine..... so you're putting it in soap and water.... lol

[@colmwhateveryoulike3240]

And yet washcloths need routine washing. Probably because the soapy water is mixed with the dirt and skin and it stays in the material. You'd have to actively soap and rinse the cloth/net at the end of each shower to avoid this, ideally with detergent designed to penetrate material and in water a bit hotter than most people shower in.

[@sadikmeah4057]

So she wants you to buy her product that's bad for the environment that lasts on average 2 years for £25 In place of a product that is naturally made that lasts a month costing on average £1. (£24) Do the maths. It's better for the environment and cheaper to buy the latter

[@kimberleymansfield1099]

Not sure what planet she is living on. Its the same item that sweet potatoes and avocados etc come in. Just tie them together and you have the same thing for free. Not $25 !!!! Oh also, maybe its just me but I use my exfoliating gloves for a year, just soak in vinegar and baking soda to clean.

[@royfr8136]

Nylon is a type of plastic. It is, particularly in this form, a hazard for the environment. Imagine this ending up in the sea..

I hate the environmentally friendly mindset of “yeah it’s plastic but it’ll last you forever”. That means nothing if I decide to throw it in the bin.
