If you buy one sponge, buy this one.

Wool is the softest and most absorbent of the natural sponges, and it outlasts everything else in the basket. It holds a remarkable amount of lather, feels lovely on skin, and gets softer the more you use it.

Around five inches is the size most people want for the shower. Rinse it after each use, squeeze it flat rather than wringing, and let it dry in open air — cared for that way, a wool sponge lasts many months.
