This review is for:<br />Cure Series Japanese Exfoliating Bath Towel from OHE - Hard Weave - Green, 110cm<br /><br />I have been using bamboo brushes to scrub my back for years. Unfortunately they tend to mildew and fall apart rather quickly. They are also very impractical for travel. I saw this and decided to give it a try. No more brushes for this guy.<br /><br />This thing is like one of those bath scrunchie things that hasn't been scrunched up into a ball. the description says &#34;110cm&#34;. That's 43 1/4 inches. I am 6 feet tall and if I hold one end in my right hand, arm outstretched, the other end just touches my left shoulder. I can dangle it over my shoulder, grab the other end with my free hand and scrub quite comfortably.<br /><br />It was actually easier to use and did a better job of scrubbing my back than a brush (not to mention way cheaper). I don't usually use a washcloth in the shower, but since it was in my hand and it was already soapy, I just scrunched it up and used it all over. Nice. When I was all done, I rinsed it out, put a little fresh soap on it, washed it real good and rinsed it again. Then I grabbed it in the middle, gave it three or four good 'flicks' and it was almost completely dry.<br /><br />Apparently the different colors designate the coarseness of the weave. I have no prior experience with these 'towels', so I chose the bright green one because... it's bright green!<br />The pink one is &#34;hard weave&#34; at 110cm. The green one is &#34;Extra hard weave&#34; at 110cm, and the blue one is &#34;Super hard weave&#34; at 120cm.<br />I don't know. The green one seems just just fine to me and it's... well... bright green, but I guess if you're super grungy and you really need those extra 10cm (4 inches), then go with the blue one.<br /><br />It weighs virtually nothing. The Product Details say it weighs 1.4 oz. Shipping Weight is 1.3 oz, so it apparently weighs a little bit more after you take it out of the package.<br />With very little effort, and 'very little' is the exact amount of effort I like to put into packing for travel, I can roll it up to just about the size of a pair of socks, so it (or one just like it) will be a permanent part of my travel bathroom kit.<br /><br />I love the slogan on the package, &#34;Today, also my skin is healthy and smooth. Continual use makes me beautiful every day&#34;. That, right there, is good enough for me.
