With my girth I'm very glad they increased the length, I could probably use it longer still.
Nice, easier to control than a back brush, and gentler on the skin as well.  I used it two places I can't reach easily, my lower legs and my lower back area.  I was without a shower for several months while they worked to convert my bathtub into one.  I can't step over a tub wall without extreme difficulty, and getting out of a tub is near impossible so I don't take baths.  This is easy to pass between hands with the dual handles and move in a back and forth scrubbing motion.  There are two grades of bristles, some silicon mini nubs that are very very soft, and some stiffer larger nubs for an exfoliate action.<br /><br />My lower leg skin on my shins started to flake off like shedding a snake skin.  After a few showers unable to reach there I was peeling off pieces of dried skin about the size of a quarter.  I poured on some body wash with the stiffer nubs and used this to shave off the rest of the dead skin.  It did a nice job, my skin in sensitive there, most of the brushed I have will irritate that area rather than exfoliate.  It reaches the small of my back rather well, an seems to allow enough body wash to lather up the area to clean properly.  I don't have anyone to help me wash my back so this is a nice tool for the bath or shower.  It's a little trickier to get the top of the back I have to use on cross angles to do that, but it's still works.  I could use this at closer to 35 inches instead of the 29, but it's better than some of the sorter, rough brushes I've used.  I get some cramping when trying to reach over the back to scrub the lower area with a brush, and there is no problem with this.  The handles make it easy to hang on a hook when not in use and the light weight does not unbalance my shampoo caddy I have on the fixed shower head.  Recommended.
