Definitely not a sponge. I use it exclusively as a potholder and jar opener. I wouldn't have purchased it for just those purposes, but since I already had it, I had to find uses for it. Nice thorough review.
You got stock at the age of dish cloths. Exactly like your grandmother would have responded to a sponge. You didn’t like them from the beginning. You are missing it’s not absorbing. Do you like the disgusting smell of a sponge, the discolouration, the bacteria inside? I guess they called it sponge because the purpose we should use them for. It’s perfect for washing up but not good for scrubbing. The lifetime of this at least 10 times longer than a normal sponge. I found these one of the good new invention.
I found it very useful. I don't really scrub more stuck on foods with it but it is very nice. Doesn't scratch any of my plates and such. Doesn't mold if you do clean it. Saves more money in the aspect of it not having to continuously replace it. Can't do some of the harder duties but I'm ok with that.
I bought these on clearance. After a few days of fumbling around with them..I figured out how to use them & now I'm hooked! Love these! Been using the same sponge on dishes 8 months now. They are just like brand new. Doesn't work as well to scrub up stove. No funky smelling sponge anymore!
🤦🏽♀️This is like someone who says they discovered the fountain of youth, and just keeps it to themselves. Or discovered how to never get sick, from the common cold to the most vile disease, and says nothing😑 Are you trolling?
I have some smaller versions of those and they stink as far as "sponge" goes but they do make great soap savers! Place a bar of soap on them and the water drains off the soap making your bar last longer. I can't imagine why they would call these sponges? My idea of a sponge is an absorbent material
Just bought at Home Goods 7/3/2021 for $2.99. You guys paid $15??? They are worth $3 not $14. The extra work with those Better Sponge in the long haul is better for the glaze on your dishes as apposed to that scratchy side of the regular sponge. But at the end of the day most people dont leave egg yolk on any dishes or they soak it for a bit to soften for ease in cleaning. I bought these for camping. They will work great in a setting where there is soft dirt and grass. Easy to rinse off dirt/grass if they fall on the ground, paper towels will do the rest of the other cleaning and wiping. Great review.
you did find them at a good deal just looked up on ebay everyone wants $24.00 they look best for being fancy looking ? i always use the scrubber where you pour the dish soap inside it
IndyDuane I bought them at Bed Bath and Beyond for $14.99 and used a 20% off coupon. You are probably better off to keep using what you have been. Thanks!
THANK YOU, ladies, for saving me lots of money. The only reason I wanted them is because of the bacteria in the gross regular sponge, but after what I saw it with my own eyes and your comments while scrubbing, I will give 2 THUMBS DOWN to the silicone scrubbers.
Mine works. I just bought one (different brand) and I love it. It works great. I think they call it a sponge because people won’t know what to do with it. I did not have the same experience you did.
could be a better silicone or design is better than these. I also think it meant to be used with a sink full of soap water. Soap will rinse away easily and may not lather if it isn't a foam soap being put directly on the better sponge. I love those silicone facial exfoliators and I have found them to work the best by lathering my cleaner between 2 of them as they don't clean as well if you don't it also decreases the amount of cleanser I need.
nickyb2u also the back part of the “sponge” works well with tough areas. I hope my sisters love it as much as I do. Everyone is getting one for Christmas lol.
Ladies... It almost makes sense to use them strictly in the shower since you don't need to scrub your body too hard with it and it'll last cuz it won't go moldy. 'A better luffa!' 😃
I buy a 3 pack of the Scotch Brite sponges (or the equivalent) once a month, use 1 sponge for about 10 days, then trow it away & start with a new one. I've also heard about the bacterial issues with sponges, so I soak my dish brushes & sponge in a vase with part bleach & part water twice a week, otherwise they get pretty nasty. Thanks for the review, I will know NOT to try these out. 😃
Rob C I was too. I thought it would at least be a good scrubber, but no! Thanks for noticing our aprons! Now we need t-shirts. Thanks for watching and have a great day! ~ Cathy
Calling it sponge is wrong and setting it up for failure. Marketing should be fired. It only serves the soaping aspect of a sponge, not the absorbing or the scrubbing per the abrasive side of some sponge. It is great for spreading the soap to whatever you're cleaning, long lasting, and doesn't grow mildew.
I was glad to see Rachel thinking outside the box on this one, trying to come up with some uses for these things, as they obviously fall short in the sponge department. Definitely not sponge worthy.
I wish I watched this before I bought these. They aren't good scrubbers and definitely don't absorb anything. The suction cup only adheres for a few minutes. Maybe I'll get to like the dishwasher aspect.
I loved this review. It immediately caught my attention when Rachel say's ..."It Feels Fun!". Well I put down my Maximum magazine to listen further!!! When Rachel while " Opening the Package" say's... "I just want to touch it", made me wish her and I went to high school together. OK...so we learned that Silicone/latex is not a great cleaning tool, but we all know that it is great in condoms and diaphragms when the man is not..."sponge worthy!".

Freakin' Reviews thanks! They are really just expensive potholders and and jar openers.

care to share the how to use them tips?

Do they work for face cleaning? My sister offered one to me and told me she used it for her face for more than a year and it's really awesome.
OMG How much water!!!
If you use these "sponges" for cleaning enough, your hands will become so strong, which defeats the purpose of using them as a jar opener.
Topher Knows Good point! LOL
you did find them at a good deal just looked up on ebay everyone wants $24.00 they look best for being fancy looking ? i always use the scrubber where you pour the dish soap inside it

Susy Lopez Do you know the brand of the one you have?
2¢ Chicks Sur La Table dual action silicone sponge. I bought at Sur Le Table. It also works really well with out pans.
Susy Lopez Thanks!

Logan's Life That’s funny! 😂 It would work better as a luffa.
I would like to see you gals test out some tools we see on tv like the kreg pocket tool or one of those just to see if they are easy for women to use
Love this test videos, just like the Lego strips one!,keep them coming , good work girls!
Jorge Villanueva Thank you! 🤗

You’re welcome! Your way is much better!
Great review ladies. I was hoping for better results. By the way cute aprons
Rob C I was too. I thought it would at least be a good scrubber, but no! Thanks for noticing our aprons! Now we need t-shirts. Thanks for watching and have a great day! ~ Cathy
safety first! this thing doesn´t work as a podholder very well if it´s oily ...
Thanks. Not running out to buy this puppy!

thought it was butter but its better well maybe not really better maybe you can use them as erings
Richard Mika 😂 good idea!! Thanks!
That's a terrible way to waste water
good review, thanks!
etabeta123 Thanks!
I think they're best for delicate pans & glassware.
I was glad to see Rachel thinking outside the box on this one, trying to come up with some uses for these things, as they obviously fall short in the sponge department. Definitely not sponge worthy.
Better Sponge huh..., lets just call this Better Silicone. Nice video guys. #donotbuy
Michael Nguyen I'm not sure I would even call it Better Silicone! Maybe just Silicone. lol thanks!
I wondered if it worked. Great review
CharsBeautyCorner Thank you!
wish i would have watched the review before i bought but at least i have Jar opener now..lol thanks for the info
I was really hoping they would work better! I too have 3 jar openers now! LOL Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! ~ Cathy
I saw it advertized and bought it. I hate it.
Ken Nguyen I hate it more every time I use it! Terrible product!
I wish I watched this before I bought these. They aren't good scrubbers and definitely don't absorb anything. The suction cup only adheres for a few minutes. Maybe I'll get to like the dishwasher aspect.
We were very disappointed! Thank you for watching!

Bobby You Tube 😂😂 we have missed your comments! 😂
I missed replying...I've been in prison...but it wasn't me that did it! Why would I lie to you two?
Thnx. I do use it on pets as massage also for glass quick clean
I think I'll stick with the good ole fashion SOS pads!
James Pavey Smart idea!
Thank you !!!! I was actually thinking about buying them... Not anymore...
You’re welcome!
I'll definitely pass on these. I love the Scrub Daddy. I use them everyday. Thanks for the review😃
Christy's Cooking Channel Rachel loves her Scrub Daddy too! I should probably get one. 😀 Thanks for watching!
Great video girls!
Belinda Everman Thank you!
Need to get closed cell sponge, no smell, no left over food.
mediaone12 I'll have to google that, never heard of it. Thanks for sharing! ~ Cathy
Another product to add to my do not buy list.
Hmmm I don't think you should be leaving the water running while washing. Just lather up well and wash then rinse 👍🏽
It is perfect for cleaning moka (Italian coffe machine)
Que desperdicio tan increíble de agua
Good job you didn't put it on your eyebrows Cathy, as you'd maybe have nae eyebrows left lol :P :D
Carol Binnie LOL I forgot I stuck it to my head. 😂😜
saludos muy buen video
She used the same sponge to clean the sink and her glass. Eww.
missvee03 I put the glass in the dishwasher when we were done. Lol
I have not tried them and am not going to
My reaction exactly. Wish I’d seen this before I bought mine. Hot pads, trivet, and jar opener for sure. 👎👎👎
Kali Karen They were very disappointing! Thanks for watching!
Definitely not sponge worthy.
Don W Best Show ever! LOL
