I loathe “soft, fluffy towels” for drying myself.
Because they never dry, they smear.

These towels DRY you off and are DRY and ready to go another round in about an hour.

I live in a humid part of the US and having towels that stay damp even in the AC is a pain:
– they start smelling weird,
– use too much energy in the dryer,
– are never ready if you need more than one shower day (because you’ve been in a pool / you were gardening / you exercised / you had to wash the dog).

These towels are NOT your great-grandma’s “scratchy linen towels” at all – not fluffy, but soft enough and thirsty as all get-out. You hang them up sodden and literally an hour later are DRY.

They also take up much less room in the linen closet.
They are not cheap, but they will last. And every day is a spa day.
