This shower pouf is part of the Principessa Beauty line, which I adore. I purchased the pouf after seeing the one that came with the Principessa gift set that I had purchased for my mother; it's just such a nice pouf!

The pouf can be used by both men and women, obviously. I mean, it's a pouf... these things are not gender specific.

Now...what do you do with a pouf? Well, you can use it to wash up with in the shower, by putting your body wash on it. It's also useful for exfoliating. Really, what more can I say about a pouf?

This pouf is fairly soft, at least compared to other poufs that I've tried. That being said, it is still abrasive enough to preform well while exfoliating. I didn't find the pouf to be scratchy at all; rather, it felt quite nice against my skin.

The ribbon that is attached to the pouf is durable, and it's useful for a few reasons. Firstly, the ribbon allows you to hang the pouf in your shower. And, secondly, you can put the ribbon around your wrist while you're using it, so that you don't drop it.

This pouf does not have any scent to it at all. That being said, it does seem to hold odors, so it may start to smell like the body wash you use with it. This isn't really a bad thing, though.

I don't know if this product has a taste to it, as I didn't taste it. I, personally, would not recommend that you taste this, as really... you're not supposed to eat your pouf.

It is said that you should replace your shower pouf's every month. This product has lasted longer than a month for me, and I really don't see the need to replace it yet. I am the only one that uses it, and I throw it in the washing machine every week, so it stays pretty clean. And, anyway, it kind of gets cleaned as you're using it, since you use it with soap.

The pouf does a good job doing what it's supposed to do; it keeps my skin clean, and it helps me to exfoliate. So, I really have no complaints at all about its performance. In fact, I have nothing but positive things to say about this thing... it's just wonderful.

There really wasn't any packaging. I mean, it wasn't wrapped up at all; there was no bag, or bag. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't packaged in a little baggie, as I think that would've been a bit cleaner, but no big deal.
