A family business with a soapy obsession
We're Pete, Louise, Rosie and Leo - a 100% family-run team handmaking pre-loaded shower sponges from our home in East Ardsley.
Hand-loaded, by us, for you
Loaded Sponges is brand new and 100% family run. We're Pete (Dad), Louise (Mum), Rosie (Daughter) and Leo (Son), and we live in East Ardsley, just outside Wakefield.
Every Loaded Sponge is handmade by our family in small batches. Our crystal-clear, SLS-free soap has a high glycerine content for a lovely moisturising feel, and it's vegetable-based, vegan, and uses no animal products. All of our dyes are natural and non-bleed, so there's no transfer onto your skin or towels.
We stock a curated selection of perfume- and aftershave-inspired fragrances, including some scents you can't find anywhere else in the UK. Our secret formula and techniques have been finalised and intensively tested - and we're ready to share them with you.

What we stand for
Kinder ingredients
SLS-free, vegetable-based, vegan-friendly soap with no animal products. High glycerine for a moisturising finish.
Handmade in small batches
Every single sponge is loaded by hand in our home, never on a factory line. That's why each one has its own character.
Built for travel
Sealed, lightweight, and not a liquid. Pack lighter, smell incredible, sail through airport security.

One sponge gets you 15-20 showers and feels (and smells) like a proper bit of luxury.
