a little ruff [SEP] i bought these because i got tired of the meshy plasticky round ball ones that unravel after a brief time i love mine but my wife did not like hers and went back to the other style they are a little ruff on the skin but i feel very clean after my shower great at exfoliating if you ask me but again my wife thought they were a little too ruff i guess it is a personal taste thing you may or may not like these but for the price of these it will not be a big deal if they do not work out for you also my wife managed to rip hers almost in half she said she dosnt know how it ripped but she always says i do not know when she breaks something lol mine is holding up very well so far update mine started ripping and pieces started shedding shortly after my wifes to bad they dont hold up well had to deduct a couple of stars
