so far so good [SEP] these have been working well so far i mainly ordered them to scrub my face so my tinted moisturizer goes on more smoothly i have combination skin that has both black white heads plus dry skin when i ordered these i expected them to be half the size so for my intended purpose they are a bit of overkill once they are fully wet they get a lot thicker fluffier in order to get my nose properly scrubbed i bend the loofah use the bent edge it worksi hang these to dry on a copper rod that is just small enough to accommodate the little hanging loop that these have on them this then hangs in front of a window which gets a lot of sun it is a great way to get them to dry to help fight bacteriai hope they are natural i read in one of the questions that it has a foam core i am not too sure what to think of that really with all the chinglish poor spelling what should one think aside from oh it is yet another made in china item being sold on amazon for the record these loofahs will not remove horniness omg they really need to get someone to clean up their listings loloverall i am really surprised by the quality the size of these esp after the lack of quality control in the listing when you order stuff online you never know what you are going to get time will tell how long they hold up for i expect hope they last a long time
