This sponge has with about 15 cm diameter and a nearly round shape of a good size and is ideal for a gentle scrub in the bath or for lathering in the shower. It seems according to the classification of the company Croll & Denecke to be the medium quality, that is, the sponge has grown compared to the premium quality large-pored and slightly irregular - I still find it very beautiful to look at and soft. What I was especially important, is the cotton cord for hanging the sponge. That seems simple hygienic than drying the sponge store somewhere. What is also great: The sponge smell at the beginning still really intense by sea. Would certainly be a very nice gift.
