LIMITATIONS

For best results, do not puncture, fold or overly stretch the product. The product is made with a water-resistant outer skin, therefore where moisture resistance is important, care should be taken not to puncture this outer surface skin.

These did not work out for my application, very stiff little compressibility
I was unaware of how rigid these noodles would be. Was hoping for a bit more flexible service that could be compressed. Maybe the clue would be ‘closed’ vs ‘open’ cell construction?
Normally, a pool noodle is used for a pool! Right? Well, not this time! My daughter suggested I use this at the entrance to my walk in shower to keep water from going onto the floor. It worked beautifully! The color is great, too! I cut it in half, put alien tape on floor, then put the half noodle down. It worked great for a while until tape quit sticking.
It was too big for my small hands. Great for a guy
I ordered this noodle to fill the gap behind my headboard/mattress/frame, so I would stop losing my cell phone, glasses, CAT. Noodle is much wider than I needed, but I used little saw to cut it down, worked perfectly. Now, I no longer need to reach back under there to retrieve lost items, or panic that I've lost my cat, who is intentionally ignoring me while hiding under platform frame, between storage drawers.
