Natural Grass Sea Sponge - 5-6 Inch

Very good sponge, holds water/soap well (I use Dr. Bronners) and seems to get me clean all right. It's not as "rough" as I would like, so it only earns 4 stars but I'm still very satisfied with the purchase.

I have had this sponge almost a year and a half and it has just now had a piece fall off. I think that's pretty good longevity for a sponge.The size (5-6 inches) seems about right.When I bought this I also bought two other sponges along with it -- a "wool" sponge and a "silk" sponge (both natural sea sponges). At first the wool sponge was my favorite, but after a couple of weeks of use that became very soft -- too soft. This "grass" sponge seemed a bit scratchy at first but upon break-in became pretty near perfect for me and has stayed that way for over a year. The silk sponge was irregular in shape and overpriced from the start.

Update: Now that I have had this sponge for several months it is totally splitting everywhere and falling apart. I don't know if it is my specific sponge or if this being a "grass" sponge meaning it is turning back to individual pieces of grass but I don't know if I can recommend this anymore. Rather frustrating when you pay so much for a sponge that has such a short life.This Grass sea sponge is really really soft on the skin, very pleased. The only reason I have not given this 5 stars as it seems to want to split as a section. I assume it will shortly tear off giving me a smaller sponge than purchased. Until then, this is a really nice bath sponge.

The media could not be loaded.  The guidelines do not allow me to describe the seller experience; that can only be done in the Amazon feedback; which I certainly did.I hope if the company do not correct their failings that they will be booted from selling any products on Amazon. I wish I could post their emails to me. They use two different names. On Amazon they list themselves as "Spa Plus" but then they also go by "Natural Bath & Body Shop" elsewhere.The sponge they are selling is not the one pictured. I have uploaded a video. Like they say... a picture is worth a thousand words, so a video must be worth a million.

It lathers up well. But it is not very soft, and the one I got was lumpy with a doughnut hole in the middle.

If you want anything close to a loofah, don't buy this sponge. If you're looking for something soft, buy this sponge.I prefer a little rougher texture than this, but it's still a nice bath item--doesn't smell, is all natural, and feels good.

Just received yesterday, but am very pleased with this sponge. It is dense and sufficiently soft when wet. Most sponges I've bought in the past are more open celled, and consequently can tear easily. This sponge looks sort of like coral. The size is perfect. As long as it holds up well, I'll be back for more. Well priced for this quality sponge.

Still too small and too soft to be my bath sponge. Still, it looks great as a decoration in the bathroom.
