Review (4/5): It does the job well enough
It's okay. Works well for the purpose intended. It's just that it feels a little flimsy...I'm almost expecting the mesh part to fall off or unravel, and then experience painful scratches on my back when I'm caught by surprise. It never happens, but because the mesh sponge doesn't feel secured onto the stick in a way that inspires my confidence, I'm always a little nervous showering with this.
The product page says it comes in green but I received a sky blue version in the mail...I'm not complaining, it's just an observation. For the price this is an excellent buy, and it's definitely worth not stretching yourself out crazily in order to adequately soap up your upper and lower back. I've experienced minor sprains that last for maybe 5 to 10 minutes or so because of this. I'm always happy that I haven't done permanent damage and the pain time frame is minimal...but why risk it? Better to get something like this instead.
