not soft - not sure it''s really exfoliating
It is many years since I had a real loofah product and I wanted to go back to the natural thing.  Even when wet it stays hard and rough and I don't feel soothing exfoliation.  It is probably helping some.  The price is certainly GOOD!  I'm only using the first one.  I'll take another when I travel this winter ...  and if either ever gets moldy or unappealing, then I know I have a third.  I will keep using it, them.  In the past, my recollection was that they softened when wet.  This one is only slightly.
