The perfect split between exfoliating and soft. It's so bouncy and plush. I always soak/wash mine first, which is in the directions so I assume I did the right thing. The colour is also rich and much prettier in person. It's the nicest one I've ever had, and I've tried several. I struggle with extremely dry skin, and have recently started getting strawberry legs and arms from being unable to find anything scrubby enough to help get my skin back on track after winter and a lengthy depressive episode. This will definitely be a huge win for me and my scales. I really look forward to being able to reach my back without it losing its shape or tearing, AND not having to set it on a ledge to dry. The little ties aren't my fav, but I won't complain because they're present--most of what I can find in stores around me are just super cheap net rags. They are not the vibe, this one is.
