It has very firm bristles.
I had another bath brush with a handle but it was too soft to use on my back, so I got this one.  I love that the handle is removeable to use on the front of my body, then I put it back on to wash my back.  It is very invigorating!!  The bristles are too stiff to use on my neck and chest area, but I love it for the rest.  It is more like an exfoliating brush to me and I don't use it every day, but it is what I was looking for.
