Hi! When you receive this bag, it will be an ivory color. I suggest getting it wet with soap before using on your body. It was a little scruffy the 1st time, lol. It gets softer and so much easier to use than a washcloth or the soap in a bottle. I will say, I'm not using it on my delicate parts. I need to get more, I wanted to try it first before buying more. It makes the soap last longer too.
