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.
My headline might sound demeaning towards this product but it is meant in general. I haven’t found it any cheaper anywhere else and I needed this size. I tried using a pool noodle for my purposes but I could not ever find any of this size of diameter. I used it to put in between the wall and my refrigerator to keep my new kitten from going back there. It worked out perfect and she hasn’t used it as a scratching post yet. Maybe the chemical make up of it deters that. It doesn’t smell bad or anything and even if it did put off an aroma, it was very slight and dissipated very soon after positioning it.
We chose this over the cheap noodles at target because it is solid core and does a much better job holding an adult. It will last one season if you keep it out of the sun when not in use. If you leave it on the pool deck the UV will make it last only a few months before it starts following apart. This is our 4th purchase of these noodles. We like them! They are 5x the cost of a cheapie Noodle but it's worth it to us. Fast shipping too.
