too hard and rigid for me [SEP] i did not like these loofahs i was looking to replace the buf puf double sided body sponge i use because although i love it it is a bit pricey the price of the loufas are really good but these were too hard and rigid for me even when wet and with plenty of soap i gave the remaining three to friends to try as i would not be using the remaining three and they agreed with me and said they were too stiff even when wet
