ok for first time body scrubber users [SEP] i ve tried so many kinds of shower back scrubbers and this one is interesting the two sided different type of scrubber on each side gives you an option as to how you want to feel it on your back it has a convenient length and two handles that is good for those who can t lift their arms to use the single wooden handle back scrubberhowever this is my problem i am so used to the loofah exfoliators wherein it is scratchy and makes my back feel really clean this one though it makes a good feeling when you use either type of the scrub on either side still does not have that full satisfaction that you ve cleaned your back well it is too soft for me it needs some more toughness on the bristles or a little rigidity on the bumps so you can feel it better the length is awesome as i have problems with my rotator cuff and painful to lift up my arms a little more add to the length will probably be helpfulas a note make sure that you soak this at least every uses in probably a vinegar solution to disinfect or efficiently clean as unnoticeable grime builds up on the surface and you won t even notice it
