still prefer bristle brush
I bought this because bath brushes tend to deteriorate so quickly.  This  silicone one is well-made, and looks good.  It just doesn't have the same feel as a "real" brush on my back. It cleans me perfectly well and is a cleaner option itself: rinses out thoroughly and dries quickly.  Some folks may prefer it, but I don't.  I am using it for now but expect I will revert to a firm-bristled brush at some point.
