I have not used the whale towel yet but I bought several Dock & Bay towels as Christmas gifts. As we are currently in love lockdown I decided to buy one for myself to cheer me up whilst supporting a worthwhile conservation charity and it gives me something to look forward to using when I eventually get away ... hopefully Seville in September to celebrate my cousins wedding! I love the XL size, the fact that it is so light and compact in its sack and lovely subtle design in a pretty pale blue. I hope it washes well as it says to wash with cool water so that will be interesting and I hope it dries as quickly as it claims! As a keen sailor this will be part of my kit and laundry facilities are sometimes hard to come by so the practical selling points of this item were the main draw for me. Thank you Dock & Bay! 💙
