text: Needed a new sponge so I thought I'd try one from Amazon. It is an alright sponge and it does the job. Once wet it does get quite bigger but the problem is that the core of it stays hard. Usually a whole sponge will get squishy and it's easier to work around small corners of the face. This one does squish but not too far till it starts putting pressure on my forearms. (Good if you want a small workout at the same time as applying your make up though). Even after cleaning it's still the same outcome. It's just uncomfortable honestly. Like I said it's okay but I went back to my other drugstore sponge which is around the same price and more accessible to me. This has awesome reviews but just didn't work out for me.
