too small not exactly like the picture shows [SEP] i was excited when i ordered these because i like to make a high poof ponytail from time to time unfortunately these are not going to give me the kind of poof i am looking for because both of them are way too small they do not compare to bumpits which i currently use the reason i wanted to get these is because i thought it would not show as much as the plastic bumpits and i thought it would give the same effect these are not even big enough to give the effect the picture shows a little disappointed with these will have to keep searching for sponges that are big enough
