These Japanese body scrubbers are great if you're looking for something to exfoliate dead skin. They have a rough surface that is invigorating to the skin. (I have sensitive skin & I love these) Perfect for washing your own back too since they're so long. Only need a little body wash on them because it will really suds up.I gave it a 5 star for softness, because they aren't supposed to be soft - they are rough. If you're looking for soft, these aren't for you.Incredible! I feel like a dolphin. Probably not great on sensitive skin, but wow do I feel clean. Long enough to wrap around your body, the material is ROUGH but lathers up well and removes all of your dead skinThese are way better than your standard loofahs because they are scratchier and much better at getting dead skin off in the shower, especially if you pre- moisturize before the shower. Also they are basically a giant cloth so you can wad it up like a loofah or use it fully stretched with both hands to get your entire back.I've used these for years. Not for tender skin. Will exfoliate and lasts for weeks.it might be too tough on some people but it's just how I like it!At first this seems like it will scratch your skin, but it’s just really exfoliating. Totally recommend!Like everythingI've been using these as long as i can remember. Nothing exfoliates better. Your soap lathers very well also. I'll bever use any other product.These Salux wash cloths are absolutely amazing. They may feel a little rough when you first touch them, but trust me they're by far the best thing for rough, dry and flaky skin. The lather up really quickly, with only a bit of shower gel. Using it the first made an immediate and startling difference to my KP on the tops of my arms.Body lotion is so much more effective now and absorbs and moisturises so much better now. I cannot rate these highly enough.WORD OF WARNING: Take a look at the Salux website to see the difference between authentic and fake cloths. The fake cloths are hard, rough and are a very poor imitation of the real thing - these from Amazon are authentic. The real ones come in soft pastel colours, the fake ones tend to be bright garish colours and are very harsh to use.Took 8 days to arrive from UK to Ireland. I'm customer of Salux from ages. Looks thin but clean properly. I work in dirty places,so Salux clean my body from oil. It's a hard material,so I don't recommend for people with sensitive skin or don't tolerate the hardness. From 1 to 10, I give a 10 and recommend this product 100%Purchased these after reading some online recommendations. I have KP on my arms and tend to suffer from ingrown hairs as a result of waxing.These are amazing.My skin feels incredibly soft after use. Before, I would have exfoliated with those exfoliating gloves that are made of a similar material or with a physical sugar scrub, but these are far superior. They have more of a "scrub" to them that anything else I have tried and while it may sound odd, I almost feel cleaner and more refreshed after using these. Even my other half keeps commenting on how soft my skin is!Lotion seems to absorb far better and I need to use less on my chronically dry skin.I won't be sing anything else!Oh my God!! It’s a life saver for me! I live alone and it’s a nightmare trying to wash my own back. I’ve bought the long handle brushes and they just don’t work. But this thing is like magic!!! It lathers up really nicely and you can give your back a REALLY good scrub. I can feel it scratching my back which I love!! I’ll use this for life! Great inventionI have been using these since 1982 & they are just PERFECT FOR GENTLY EXFOLIATING TGE SKIN WHETHER FAEC OR BODY.I AMDELIGHTED TO FIND THESE ON AMAZON COS MINE WENT ASTRAY DURING AHOME MOVE. I WAS VERY UPSET, COS I LOVE MY SSALUX WASH CLOTHS. THEY LATHER SO EASILY & ALSO RINSE OUT INSTANTLY S O NO SOAP RESIDUES REMAIN COULDN'T BE MORE PERFECT. NOT SCRATCHY BUT ENOUGH TEXTURE TO EXFOLIATE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!I GIVE THEM 100/100MADE OF TEXTURED NYLON WHICH DOESN'T ROT OR MOULD.
