It almost seems like a lotion that dissolves. The huge problem is that this pad is way too short in my opinion. I can easily pour it from the can into my spray bottles. Push gently so you dont tear the fabric. The large volume knob has a smooth action and handy to have on the headset itself instead of the cable. Bought this option after trying earbuds to listen to relaxation music at bedtime. Buena calidad y no se requiere herramienta para montarlo ni montar la bici Maybe every third day or so. Sturdy, easy to hang. My additional advice is to check the straps every 300 miles or so and re-tighten them.
