like washing with a plastic mesh bag [SEP] this soap balder looks and feels like it is made of those plastic mesh bags that oranges and onions come in at the grocery storei don t feel like they are a good scratchy or exfoliating i feel like i m trying to wash with a plastic net made to catch rubber duckiesso if you think it might be the rough scrub for you try washing with a mesh bag for oranges first and see what you think before buyingis larger than it looks in the picture will definitely hold a large bar of soap for me they re too large but i fold my washcloths so i might not be the best judge of thatdid not like might use for scrubbing pots and pans
