This is my second time to purchase these shower puffs for myself and my three teenage sons. My boys like that the puffs aren't too feminine looking and I like the price and value of a four-pack. When I first received the shower puff, I was surprised by how tightly compacted it was and, initially, it was a bit hard to build up a lather as a result. However, over the next month or so, the puff loosened up a bit and it was easier to build up a good lather with it. I usually use them for three monthSee full review
