Diameter 6cm, Height 7cm, weight 1.27kg These originally each had two rubber O-rings, which sat in the grooves and acted as bumpers, but those perished.

Free: Shower puffs, new & unused (Cookham SL6) Expired I got fed up with my old shower puffs falling apart after a few months, so I went in search of a longer lasting version and found these. The one I’m using is still going strong after 18 months’ use, so it has certainly kept its word! But, on the other hand, it is *not* soft on the skin or, at least, it has only softened up after *many* months’ use. If you enjoy a vigorous scrub down/exfoliate in the shower, then you will love these. But I think I will be reverting to the softer, albeit shorter-lasting type!
