Shower Brush with Natural Bristle - Long Bamboo Handle Bath Body Brush for Wet or Dry Brushing - Improves Blood Circulation, Exfoliating Skin

Update 9/13/22:I bought this fifteen months ago and the plastic finally cracked and the bristles are coming out. Yes, it is sharp when that happens, so when it does, and it likely will, buy a new one. This brush never grew mold like the rope-covered I had before. Awesome. Very pleased with that.People have unfairly rated this poorly for the eventual degradation 1-2 years after purchase, but folks, this is a consumable product. It SHOULD be replaced periodically for hygienic reasons. Simply put, over time skin cells will lodge into the brush no matter how clean you keep it, so it's important to start fresh every so often.Shower brushes are not meant to last forever. My five star rating remains for this reason as I putting a new brush in my cart.Original review:I got this to replace my rope-covered handled brush made by the same company after it started molding on the rope and brush head a year after purchase. I guessed that the rope on the handle contributed to mold when used in the shower, so I got this one without the rope, hoping it would dry better, and it seems to. To be fair, the first one was marketed for dry brushing outside the shower and this one for the shower, I just didn't realize what that rope in the shower would do over time when I bought the first one. That one's one's bristles were soft but held well in the brush and worked fantastically, so I bought this with complete confidence, knowing it was a quality brush. It's exactly the same, minus the rope. I'm very pleased with this product and hope they keep it in stock for future purchases.

Bristles are not so stiff that they scratch, but stiff enough to give a gentle massage.

as above

Well made, the bristles leave the skin clean and exfoliated.

Made with real bristles, the only thing not natural here is the plastic the bristles are seated in. I had the same brush (figuratively) for many years. So it stands the test of expected use time. I take soap (liquid or bar) rub on the brush, wet the surface then scrub a dub. Stretch, stange measurement, now if they mean the length of reach (handle and surface area to reach spots on your back... Ok its fine good length. Good natural hardwood handle. Softness, its not too soft and not too hard. When first using it may feel a little stiff, but it quickly feels fine as you use. It also makes a good back scratcher (when not in the bath/shower).

Although this brush was a good stiffness when I used it today, less than two years later, the bristles started falling out

Love this. Works great. Would buy again.

very nice, bristles are firm enough, but not hard. hope it lasts
