I really love these for using in the shower with my body washes as well as soaps. They don’t waste as much soap as a normal body shower pouf. They make the body wash suds up so much as well as my soap. These are open netting in the middle so you can actually put your bar of soap in the middle with the netting around it so the netting actually holds the soap as you use it. For body wash, I just put a small dollop of body wash in the middle and then move the netting around and it creates nice suds. These nets are sturdy and can also be hung up with the attached ring in the shower. They dry super quickly. They don’t hold onto any smells and I’ve never had one mold. They come in separate resealable bags in case you want to keep the bag and travel with it, although I usually just dry mine off and throw it into my carry bag since it dries quickly. Although it’s good to have if you need it. They last for months and months but I try to change mine out when it starts looking torn or worn out. I’m very happy with this purchase and will buy them again when I run out.
