Premium 100% Cotton Turkish Peshtemal Beach Towel - Extra Large 37x71 Inches, Quick Dry & Ultra Absorbent - Soft Pre-Washed Bath Towel for Beach, Pool, Spa, Gym & Yoga - Lightweight Travel Blanket for Vacation, Picnics & Lounging (Saxe Blue)

These don't absorb a lot at first. but once you realize what they feel like they work. You just have to keep rubbing and then you will get dry. The towel does dry relatively quickly. It smelled clean right out of the bag. It looks and feels good. It holds up after washing and drying. I bought two brands and this one was slightly better in absorbency, but it is not like your regular bathroom towel. It's not as bad as drying yourself with a table clothe, but if you lower your expectations you won't be disappointed. We got these for a camping trip. Now that it's over, I think it would have been just as easy to bring two hand towels and let them dry for a day. The only reason I think these might be useful is for the beach. but if you're trying to save space and don't need to wrap it around your body, then take two hand towels or even two kitchen towels made of cotton will work just as well and take up little room and not cost so much. I wouldn't buy these again. They are well made, but not necessary. When I get out of the shower I dry off then get dressed. I don't walk around with a towel on so I don't need this huge towel. It's actually a little too big for the shower. It would only be good for the beach.Bought these towels for my grandchildren, who are a newborn and toddler. I hated using regular Terry cloth bath towels, for the toddler, because they are so bulky and heavy, and the kids grow out of baby bath towels so quickly. I was looking for a large lightweight towel, and these did the job. If I could change anything, it would be to remove the tassels, add a hood, and make it a tad bit thinker. I am not disappointed.Plenty absorbent for after shower use.I love how thin and lightweight they are for maximizing storage efficiency in our one bathroom. These are getting softer with each wash .This towel is very soft! Using as a travel blanket because it folds up so small and can easily be used to cover up or sit on. They are incredibly lightweight and absorbent. Quick hang dry. Loved it!its appearance is really good quality, not like a piece of cloth. Colors are as seen in the photo. you can bristle for home and outsideRight out of the bag the towel smells amazing. It’s soft but sand shakes right off of it at the beach and any water that gets on it will dry in minutes.And can be used for all purposes, sports, yoga etc.Definitely order it. I am going to order different colors too. It is so soft and useful. Turkish cotton is the best ??It dries very quickly and easily. Lightweight yet sturdy. It’s everything you want in a beach towel! I’m already waiting on the other colors to ship.
