Review on Fancy Pine Loofah Sponge: Customizable Exfoliating Skin Care, Yuck-Free & 100% Natural Organic Egyptian Luffa Cylindrica – Cellulite & Dry Skin Body Puff Scrubber Sponge by Omar Chavez

Softness = roughly equivalent to a soft dish sponge? I don't know, there's not much to compare. It's gritty until you wet it, then it gets a little abrasive, just enough for a nice lather and an easy scrub. I wouldn't use it next to my face but other than that it feels great. Read and follow the instructions. It arrives very flat, but soaking it really puffs it up. Mine hasn't drained after about a month of use. is it around 8 ten? Inches long so it's a good size and really easy to hold and maneuver across your body. No noticeable growths, smell, mold, nothing. Rinses well, foams well. Survived, even with hair dye splattered everywhere. No complaints! I'm glad I got a pair so I can replace my husband's old washcloth when it eventually falls apart.
