Somewhat hard bristles but not a deal-breaker.
I have not been able to wash my back by myself before I bought these. Yeah, I know, gross. So I finally bought these and I love them. I have one and my husband has one. I don’t know about him but I really enjoy using mine, especially if your back happens to itch in that one spot that you can’t reach. The bristles are slightly hard, but you can soften them a tiny bit by running them under warm water for 15 seconds or so. But you may find you like the harder bristles!
