I had a hard time finding a body brush of this type in my local stores. I really enjoy the large luffa style brush but the store that used to sell the one I liked doesn't carry them anymore. So I bought this one on Amazon hoping to solve my problem. But it leaves a bit to be desired.The handle on this brush is made from rather thin plastic. I expect it will break from regular use before too long. The first one shipped to me was already broken in the box. Additionally, the thinness makes it kind of uncomfortable to hold. My last one had thicker plastic which was nicer to hold on to. It also slowly slips from my hand with use because of this as well.The handle also has a curve to it that you cannot see in the product photo. I have no idea what the product designer was thinking when they put this curve in. It makes the brush harder to use as it practically curves away from where you want it to be, making it tougher to reach places with it without angling your hand in an uncomfortable way, exacerbating the slippage and making me apply more force than I'm comfortable with given the flimsy-feeling handle.If you're looking for a body brush like this and having a hard time finding an alternative, this will do okay, but don't expect to enjoy it as much as you might other alternatives that I'm currently hard pressed to find out there.
