1. It is small. Yes, it is ridiculously small. But, in fact, it can be even palm-size. Since it is a sponge, you can squeeze it to dry as many times as you need until you dried all your body, 2. It becomes fragile when completely dried out. This is why you make a hole in it trying to unstick layers on a new towel. Just put it in the water for a few minutes and it will go off itself.

Not only is this product a joke. Speedo customer service is even worse! Wouldn't take it back, even though it was new and unused. I opened the box only to be completely disappointed in the material, the size, and everything else this product had to offer. Do yourself a favor, and buy your Speedo product from a retailer that actually supports the customer than Speedo itself. I know. How crazy is that statement. Amazon sells the same exact product (and other products), shipped from Speedo - with a much more customer friendly return policy. They sold me garbage, and won't take it back. Jokes on me. Don't be fooled.

Beach or pool lifeguard

This starting falling apart the moment I opened it. Very flimsy. Not worth the money.

These are hard to find unless you go straight to Speedousa.com. Funny, but other websites just don't carry this item and that is a shame.
