Decent bath sponges, not great!
Since moving from Europe to the US, I have had a hard time procuring bath sponges for my family. Such a basic item in Europe, seems to be a "novelty" in US. I have tried many of the brands/options on Amazon, most from Europe anyway, with very poor results. This set of three sponges is not bad, given the relative low price. Sure, the exfoliating layer is just a bit more firm than the sponge itself, but it is abrasive enough to provide some additional scrubbing power.  Sure, the scrubbing layer will start shrinking and separating from the sponge itself after a month or so of daily use, but it will take a while before making the sponge unusable. In my experience, most of the other sponges on the market do disintegrate or rip in pieces after a few months of use, but not this sponge. So far the sponge itself is holding up well,maybe because of the extra thickness of the material and density. The tight alveolar structure provides probably more strength, but makes the sponge less fluffy and foamy. I have absolutely no use for the attached string and I removed it as I opened the package.
