Almost too soft, enjoying these for eyes.
These things are pretty awesome. I've been using them for about 3 weeks now, with and without soap, and on my 4 year old son, with and without soap.<br /><br />I mostly use them without soap like the description suggests they should be. I'm really surprised at the reviewer that says they irritate the skin... You can't really scrub with these. I've never been able to remove eye makeup without a cleanser + cloth before. With these it takes a quick soak with warm water then some gentle rubbing with tiny strokes. It doesn't come right off mind you, but I've found it always takes patience to not damage your eyes and these cloths still require you to take your time. I do use all natural makeup- my eyes are very sensitive and I cannot wear most mascara brands- so that may be a factor in the ease of removal, but it removes my eyeliner and mascara without damage to my eye lashes or any noticeable swelling.<br />I don't wear much other makeup besides under eye concealer and cheek and eye highlighter and it seems to get all that off too.<br /><br />My son loves these, or he just hates traditional clothes. Bath time was always a struggle with him before, he would always try to dodge me, now he just lets me rub away.<br /><br />I have soft water-<br />Soap lathers like crazy on these things too. I barely touched the cloth to a bar soap and got enough foam to wash my whole face, neck and ears.<br /><br />Now, washing an adult body is a different thing. If you're used to exfoliation and you want these for your body, these probably aren't for you. I get ingrown hairs on my legs and like to get a good scrub on them and these just can't do it. My ingrown hairs are really bothering me and seem to have increased since I've tried using these on my body. I figured the skin would at least hold a little more oil because of the lack of scrub but my legs are still dry as hell after washing too- even without soap. So I'll have to have a traditional separate cloth for that purpose. They work fine on the rest of my body though.<br /><br />I love how they instantly fill up with water yet ring out so completely. The really do dry well. I'm so paranoid about mold so that's a big plus for me.<br /><br />They do have special washing instructions- wash separately (eek non- eco friendly tiny load?!) and some drying temperature restrictions. So that can be annoying if you only have 1 pack. I'm about to put another 2 sets on my baby wish-list cuz we're expecting and I plan to use these instead of those baby wash cloths- these are definitely softer.<br /><br />So for face, baby, and drying fast- 5 stars. For adult body and complicated washing - 3 stars.
