Thank goodness you were able to get untangled! I think it's always a good idea to take necklaces off when taking a shower or bath.

Oh wow this was a serious event and thank you for sharing. I don't use a battery operated loofah but thought about purchasing one. I bought the salux instead. Thank goodness you are okay!

@mollymaggieSo sorry you had that horrific experience.

I believe I'll remove any necklace before using any electric device anywhere, sort of like many workers remove their rings so they don't add risk to their jobs. JUst never thought about your kind of near disaster.

What a scary experience! Theres a lot to be said for an old fashioned back brush. I'm very glad to hear you're okay today.

OMG - what an experience. Reminds me of (me) getting one of those round hair brush (junk) like they sell on the Q ........Brush was seriously tangled in the back of my head. Couldn't see to help myself - every try just made it worse. Visioned a big section of hair would have to be cut. Finally got it untangled with some hair loss; but will never use one again.

@mollymaggie Thank you for sharing your experience! That is something people wouldn’t think about happening. You may want to contact the company to put a warning on the SPIN SPA.

Many jewelry companies are suggesting that people not bathe or sleep in jewelry. I remove mine when I come home.

My Father was always building and fixing things. He wouldn’t wear a wedding ring until he was older and stopped doing that. He said jewelry can get caught. So I remove mine.

I hope you are better now, your Guardian Angel was with you!

Oh that sounds really scary. Glad you are ok.

Glad I don't wear anything around my neck.

You should email Spin Spa so they can put a warning on their packaging.

mollymaggie,

I am so sorry to read about what happened to you. Thank goodness you were able to get yourself free.

In my family no one has ever taken a bath or shower wearing anything on their body but their birthday suit.

No bath back brushes, no loofah sponges, no jewelry like nose rings, eyebrow rings, earrings or any other piercings.

Also no hair pins, nothing, just the skin and hair on their body which God gave them.

That is the safest and only way to shower or bathe.

Many people wear jewelry that they never remove such as a wedding ring or bracelet, necklace/chain, etc. They can sort of become part of you so I can understand not removing them when showering/bathing, etc.

It's good you reported this to us. Thank you! It might save someone from what sounds like a traumatic experience. So glad you came out of it ok. I agree with reporting it to the company.

Glad you're well. A reminder to teach your children never to have dangling jewelry, long loose hair, or loose billowy sleeves around any type of machinery. Ever!

How horrible! I'm sorry to read about your terrible experience and hope you will recover from any damages. I hope the manufacturer will place warnings on that device if they haven't done so already.

How scary! Glad you are ok and thanks so much for sharing this! Made me think about a spinning air brush I just purchased and tried for the first time yesterday. Come to think of it, that could also get caught on a necklace spinning away as doing the bottom of hair.

Once again, thanks so much for this info and sorry this happened to you.
