I can’t decide if this is the best or most unnecessary cleansing accessory ever

We’ve all been there… You’re washing your face and the water is flowing down your arms and getting all over your vanity. This isn’t always an issue if you wear a “Tier 3” tank top or tee-shirt to sleep like me (yes, I have a grading system—my husband does, too), but what if you’re washing before you’ve gotten undressed for the day or wearing long sleeves?

Enter these wrist bands. These scrunchie-like “bracelets” catch the water at wrist level to prevent any unnecessary saturation of your body, pajamas or countertop—think of them as sweatbands for those of us who treat skincare like an Olympic sport.

On one hand, I think they’re GENIUS. On the other, I have plenty of extra scrunchies lying around—but I have yet to test their water-absorbency. If you happen to have Kitsch microfiber scrunchies (which one of my friend’s SWEARS by), would you mind putting one on each wrist when you wash next and letting me know if they serve this additional purpose?
