Review (3/5): Very limited use, too smooth to clean. Okay, but definitely not great.
While the description given by the seller was accurate, it lacks a bit of detail. These sponges are VERY soft, and not the typical style you would expect, for example, from a medical supply company. I ordered these for use to moisten the mouth of an elderly stroke patient. Normal sponges, I can moisten and give to her to wet her mouth/suck on while tending to her needs. Usually, halfway through a changing/(tube) feeding, I will remoisten the sponge. These just can't be remoistened during the same use. They squish flat with the sucking/light toothless chewing she does on them. They do serve the purpose of moistening the mouth, and yes, the sponge is very soft. I would say these would be best for those with mouth sores as to not scrape the wound, but I would not order these again for the practical use of just moistening. They're very smooth as well, so I can't see they'd do a very good job at cleaning the mouth. Also, be warned that they do tend to drip from the tube handle. I have never experienced this with any other oral swab.
