These towels are amazing! We bought them for use at home instead of our regular towels, and they dry your body just as well as a regular towel (I’d say they soak up water from your hair better than a regular towel). They dry so quickly, take up less room in the drawer and in the washing machine, and dry in a jiffy in the tumble dryer if I’m in a rush. We have 5 young children and taking them swimming we need two bags full of towels, goggles and swim wear. Now we only need 1 because these towels fold so small in comparison. You need to get used to the fact it’s not a regular towel feel, but these are just the most practical towel I’ve come across. I would definitely highly recommend.
