Prefer over lufa
I grew up with these in Hawaii and still love it. I tried using lufas but I just don't like the fact that I can't scrub  my back with a lufa and that lufa take forever to rinse out the body wash product and dry. It's definitely not soft like a lufa, but I guess my skin is tolerable towards it so it doesn't bother me. I mean its not a steel wool scrubber but some people find it to be so.
