When I first got this item, I was very creeped out by the lady pictured on the bag. However I got past that quite quickly after I opened the bag, and started using the massage mitt. The first thing that I noticed when I took it out was that it seemed to be fairly well made, none of the seems were coming apart. And the material itself is quite thick, so I don't think it will be ripping any time soon. I also noticed that it is designed to be used either right or left handed, a definite plus for those who are left handed.

First I tried using it on my husbands back without any oil, big mistake! As it is made of jelly, so it is slightly sticky. It found and caught every one of his back hairs, and he doesn't have many! So we tried again with some massage oil. I personally love using the JO products. What a difference that made! He said that it felt just like I was running my fingers very softly down his back, and it made him all tingly. I will not be trying to use this mitt to massage anywhere other than the back because it does have a tendency to catch any hairs, so not arousing to have hairs.

A few bad things about this mitt are: the finger holes are placed for either people with exceptionally long fingers, or exceptionally wide hands. I do have fairly small hands, but I could not place my fingers through the holes at all. Also it came with a very funky smell, and had some sort of filmy coating all over it! Definitely had to wash it before use. Luckily just a little bit of soap and some water took care of it. Though there is still a slight smell, definitely not as noticeable.
