shower puffs that don't fall apart?

i have started using shower puffs instead of face cloths to make shower gel last longer. However, i need recommendations for puffs that don't fall apart within a week or two! i don't think i'm overly aggressive with them, as the ones i purchased outside of the UK lasted a long time.

So far i've tried:
- Superdrug cheap puff ~93p (fell apart in three days)
- Superdrug more expensive puff ~£1.24 (starting to fall apart within 7 days)

i know there are loads i haven't tried yet, but can anyone suggest some brands? These little things add up... & i don't want to pay nearly £2 or more for something that will just fall apart like the cheap ones.

(i've tried to retie and/or mend them, but it's fairly pointless. The mesh just comes undone again in the next shower.)

    How do you mean 'fall apart'?
    All the shower puffs I've used have always become 'loser' after a few uses, but retain their basic form for months, if not years.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
  • My body shop one is still as good as when i first got it (maybe 3 years ago) and i use it twice a day ;)

    Well, the mesh just slipped out of the tie on the last two i used - once part of it came out, the entire puff became loose and eventually unraveled.

    Before these last two, i had never a problem either - the puffs stayed together for a really long time. i just thought to ask since i was living in the States when i started using puffs. Only these last two (bought in UK) fell apart... maybe i just need to try a different shop?

    The one that I bought from Boots a few years ago lasted ages. I now use one that I got last year in New Zealand - rather a long way for you to go and get one, I admit!!! :D

    Tesco sometimes have them, 5 in a pack (Coral body puffs), in those £1 boxes on the end of the aisles. I bought some a few months ago and they last far longer than one I bought from Bodycare before. The best one I've had so far was in an Olay gift set but that eventually unravelled.
