Does a great job,looks 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'd bring back from his home country...he never could find something that he liked on the US shelves.  This one looks so much nicer and neater hanging in the shower...would 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 &#34;fold&#34; that's not intended for vertical hanging, but does sort of allow for it, depending on what you're putting it on. A loop would work better.)<br />The &#34;bumps&#34; on my upper arms have really smoothed out since I started using this and all of my skin feels softer.  It's pretty scratchy feeling, but I guess I needed that!  Looks way better than those &#34;braided&#34; ones and I like knowing that no bacteria is caught...those 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'd need to, but it completely air dries in a matter of minutes.
