does a great joblooks nice in the shower stall [SEP] this is very nice bought it as a gift for my hubbie and find myself using it all the time he loves it he was always using a home made raggedy one that he would bring back from his home countryhe never could find something that he liked on the us shelves this one looks so much nicer and neater hanging in the showerwould be nice if it would have a tiny loop on one end for hanging vertically but we have a towel bar in our shower so that works just fine it does have an inner fold that is not intended for vertical hanging but does sort of allow for it depending on what you are putting it on a loop would work better the bumps on my upper arms have really smoothed out since i started using this and all of my skin feels softer it is pretty scratchy feeling but i guess i needed that looks way better than those braided ones and i like knowing that no bacteria is caughtthose thick braided ones and the terry backed cloth loofa ones seem to thick for good air drying this one you could put in the wash if you think you would need to but it completely air dries in a matter of minutes
