Review title is Expandable [SEP] I have heard that a good sponge expands when wet. This one definitely gets bigger. Unfortunately it feels super soft and shreddable. Which may be how it is has to be to expand. Not really sure but to me it doesn't seem that durable. Seems delicate. It does do a really nice job applying makeup. It's a good size and a good shape. I wash it after every use and so far it is still intact maybe it will last the three months I need it for.
