This is a solid, small pored sponge covered in terry cloth. It absorbs the bath gel and lathers but not very well. I needed to use at least four times as much bath gel than I usually use with the bath lily in order to wash. It is more suitable as a tree ornament. I bought others for my family and I will be returning them, which I normally don't do no matter how disappointed I am in a Body Shop product.
