I think most of them that you see are not made from Loofah. They are made from terry cloth or canvas, even latex. Loofa Dog - 6" Dog Toy - - DogToys.com

Ah ha, that seems kind of deceptive on the mfgrs part. Now I'll have to get another real loofah (besides my bath time one) and let mine try chewing on it. I could see where the real loofahs could benefit teeth.
