little white truths

I received this sponge as part of a little prize pack. I opened it in the first week of December and have been using it on and off since then. I've mentioned before that I can be pretty lazy, and remembering to use this - despite that it's sitting right there in full view in the shower - has presented something of a challenge ; )

But I made sure I gave it a really good go over the past couple of weeks so I could review it properly. I should say that mine has started to decay, so I've now stopped using it. These sponges are meant to last you two to three months of 'normal daily use'; mine didn't quite make that unfortunately, so I hope that's not an issue with the product. For now I'll put it down to being an issue with our bathroom, which is small and the fan is super old and needs replacing.
