GILDEN TREE Waffle Bath Sheet Large Bath Towels Quick Dry Thin Body Towels, 40x80 Oversized Bath Towels for Adults, 2 Pack Bath Sheet Set, Classic Style (White)

I'm so glad I bought these, wish I had seen these sooner. Love the oversize 40 x 80 inches. I followed the instructions and washed in vinegar and a bit of soap before using. They did shrink up a bit as stated, but still ample sizing. They wrap around a large frame with extra material to tuck in so it stays on while I sit at the Vanity after a shower doing my make up and hair. Also, they do not take up much space. I bought a set for my son and Fiancée for Xmas as well. They are expensive but worth it.

Meilleure serviettes à vie.

I LOVE these towels. A lot. So why the four stars? I'm knocking one star off for price, but if these towels go the distance (more than a few months of daily washing without becoming less absorbent or frayed) I will absolutely up my review to five stars. I'm a big fan of thin towels, but they also have to be absorbent. I have tried "waffle weave" towels before, the ones with the loft/terry on the grid, but after a while the absorbency disappears and the loft goes out of the towel and the towels are basically just flat pieces of cloth. These Gilden Tree towels are completely different. There is NO LOFT or TERRY anywhere on these towels- NO LOOPS. When you get them they are super flat, pretty much the thickness of a common dishtowel. I was really concerned when I pulled them out of the package (and they were wrapped in thin plastic, too- no nice presentation in a laundry bag or recyclable packaging, which was a disappointment, considering the price) and they were just like extra thick bed sheets. But then I threw them in the wash (twice) and the towels basically shrunk and curled up, creating the waffle texture. It's kind of like what happens to one of those magic sponge cloths where they come flat like a piece of paper, and once you wet them they grow. The thing is, when you dry these towels, they remain a little more plush and fluffy (and the edges curl/ripple, too- so if you are a stickler about your towels being folded and on the shelf with crisp edges, these will make you crazy.) After that wash/dry, these towels became instant favorites. They are super absorbent, quicker to dry, stay white in the wash, and they don't have that cheap feel like most other thin towels I have purchased. If these last I will replace all my other bathroom and pool linens with them- it will be worth the huge investment. One note- they are NOT soft. If you want a comfy, plushy, soft experience against your skin, these are not for you. But if you are looking for a thinner towels that absorbs and feels good and dry and light against the skin- never heavy and damp even after you've draped it on your after a shower- these are for you. Highly recommended, but that price (and the packaging...)

The towel is very thin and not very absorbent. Not soft. Feels like using 1 ply toilet paper. Only thing I liked was the size.

I absolutely love these towels! They are lovely and absorbent cotton, compact, lightweight and fuzz-free. I first encountered this type of "waffle" towel at a hotel and have been hooked ever since. If you are a stalwart member of the Fluffy Towel Brigade, these will not be to your liking, but for me, they are a "Must"!
