Some Important information/ concerns near the end, if you're interested... Greetings from North Texas! (Yes it's customary to indicate which region of the state we are located in) Are you ready for a Detailed / probably longer than needed Bath Towel Review? If so read on . . . I was somewhat hesitant and skeptical prior to making the purchase for these, probably because of how large these are and how fair the price seemed. I bought them about a month ago and when the package arrived I opened and inspected them and everything looked ok. I was going to get them in a brown color since that's what my previous towels were but the grey ones were slightly less expensive and I'm not too concerned with aesthetics for bath towels. I already knew I was going to have to wash them multiple times to break them in with the removal of the excess cotton fibers. I did initially wash and tumble dry them 5 or 6 times (with cool water, less dissolved minerals keeps them softer), as each time I would dry them the dryer lint trap would be roughly 80% full (again this was expected). There also was some left over wet fibers in the washer so expect that also - you can just do a quick rinse cycle if it's excessive or wipe them out with a damp cloth if you need to be extra conservative with your water usage. I also trimmed off a few loose threads with scissors, nothing excessive. After that I would use them once, then wash again, and repeat that process several more times. I've probably washed them, in total, around 12-14 times now and I still get a noticeable amount of lint after drying them although it has diminished significantly. They are now slightly more coarse in the over all feel compared to when I first opened them but that's just how cotton towels are. Every set of cotton bath towels I've ever owned have been that way, so to me there's no surprise there. They are performing as expected. As far as the size goes I've never owned bath towels this large, 40x80 - wow. I'm a fairly large man over 6'ft tall / 250+ lbs and the size of one towel is more than enough for me. Even for really super Giant sized guys I think one towel would be adequate for them to dry off their entire body. My Judgment: Would I recommend them to Family or a friend? Yes I would. They are holding up quite well, so far. They seem to be constructed well and I have my fingers crossed for the long haul. Also, considering the price and the size of these towels - they are by far the best value in terms of cost that I've ever made for bath towels (I've been around a few decades). Bonus Advice / Concerns I will point out that while you're washing bath towels, or any kind of clothing for that matter, you should NEVER use chemical fabric softener - it's way too much to go into here but basically it prevents your towels from absorbing water like they're supposed to and worse than that the chemicals you're using will bond with the cotton fibers and then will be in contact with your wet skin. Please give that some thought and let that sink in . . . If it still doesn't make sense to you PLEASE do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to research it online and hopefully you'll understand why it's not a good idea. I'm fairly confident that at some point in the future these types of products will have to change their ingredients due to health concerns of the consumers that use them. I wouldn't be surprised if they're already illegal in some countries and/or States (CA) here in the USA.
