I was pleasantly surprised by how much I actually liked using this little sponge on my face. It holds a lot of water and absorbs well, but rinses out clean and dries quick. It was a bit expensive for the size, but after using it, I think it was well worth it. I would recommend. It is a nice addition to cleansing your face w/o being harsh or abrasive. I got the two inch size and it seems to be the perfect size.

This little sponge (too bad you can't get it bigger than 4 inches) is a gem! You won't be disappointed! This little sponge is gentle yet extremely effective. I use it with the Alba Hawaiian pineapple enzyme facial cleanser and it cleans my face well. It's amazing how much product this little sponge can hold. Rinses out well and dries quickly. Good use for makeup application too.

I've been looking into alternative menstrual products for a while-- we all know tampons and pads are wasteful, expensive, and full of chemicals. I bought a divacup and it didn't work for me, so I decided to try sea sponges.

I picked these sponges on a whim, and I'm glad I did! They are very soft and easy to cut to size. You boil them before use (because they harbor bacteria, which is why it is hard to find sponges marketed as menstrual products). Then it's like using a reusable tampon-- change it minimum 3x a day, and rinse and boil between uses. Always boil well after each cycle-- one sponge usually lasts multiple cycles.

These sponges worked very well as a menstrual product, very comfortable and easy to use. Now I'm considering buying some more for more conventional uses! I would recommend these sponges very highly for menstrual use!

This tiny sponge is great for gently removing soap amd even mud masks from your face. For my sensitive skin, a towel is not always an option. This sponge is gentle and effective. After using a mud mask, it cleaned up with very little effort. The sponge is also very soothing so watch out, you may doze off while using it.

I ordered the largest size they offer (3.5 to 4 inches). The sponge was much more of an irregular shape than the picture shown here. The four inches is measured from tip-to-tip of the longest possible dimension. Measuring 90 degrees from that, the sponge I got was only about two inches wide.

The sponge lasted just six weeks before falling apart. At $13.45 (with shipping) this is way too expensive. You can get LATHER Natural Sea Wool Sponge shipped for $14 and that is huge. You could cut that up to make at least four decent sized sponges considerably larger than this one. (I say four only to be on the conservative side.)

While it lasted, though, it was very nice.

I like this sponge for my daily showers. I fell in love with natural sponges after bringing a bunch back from Greece and have been looking for more. I like this one, but it needs a string to hang it and dry it out. I left it on the shelf in the shower and it was only 2 weeks before I found mold in it. Just add a ribbon or string to hang it up to dry.

When I ordered these I was looking for a natural sponge that was soft and also exfoliated in a gentle way. The bath sponge is indeed soft and yummy, but I can't detect much exfoliating going on. Then again, this could just be due to my limited experience with natural sponges - perhaps I should have ordered a different type.

I have been looking for a nice soft facial sponge for cleansing. The word silk is a complete misrepresentation as this is a very stiff rigid sponge, not very soft for facial cleansing.

I will keep them for my art projects, very disappointed.

I am still searching for a nice soft facial sponge!

Product was as shown and described. However, it is too rough for my face. I believe a smaller size would be softer, so that's what I will order next.
