ONSENBath Sheet Set - 3 Waffle Towels - 100% Suprima Cotton Waffle Weave - Quick Dry Luxury Bath Towels - Soft & Durable - Includes Bath Sheet, Hand Towel, Face Towel - Home Essential,Twilight Blue

I wanted a towel with a waffle-weave texture to match my shower curtain. This towel is soft and dries well. It’s a bit larger than a standard hand towel so it drapes onto the counter from my towel bar but I don’t mind it. I think it would make an excellent camping or gym towel.

Love these lux towels - tried the face and hand towels to test (all in white - their white is *bright* cleanest white) and will now purchase bath towels and a full set of hand towels; and look at other colors for our foyer bath. Company is GREAT to deal with - first delivery got lost en route, the company immediately shipped out a replacement, no questions asked, and fast. Each small face towel came carefully wrapped, tied with a fabric bow, each in its own fabric pull-string bag (that I'll use around the house for decorative purposes). These are beautifully made, high quality towels, from a beautiful, high quality company.

Too expensive

... That's the tag line in one of the reviews I found for this towel, and they're right.First, if your only criteria for a bath towel are thick, heavy and plush, you probably won't like these. On the other hand if you want a towel that looks terrific, performs as intended and is a pleasure to use, read on.1. Looks terrific: These towels have a relaxed, upscale, minimalist look without being fussy. The colors are slightly muted, organic, nature inspired. Nothing garish here. All the colors would look good together. The soft waffle weave texture contrasts the hard, shiny materials in bathrooms.2. Performs as intended: I believe a bath towel is intended to dry you after a shower or bath. I was surprised by how well these towels do that. I wasn't even what I was looking for that. The waffle weave probably doubles the surface area of the towel.I am puzzled by all the reviews claiming that they're not absorbent, because that is not my experience. One reviewer claims they're not absorbent, and in the next breath talks about the fabric softener she used. As I understand it, dryer sheets and softeners coat the fibers with something that gives the illusion of softness. At the same time, it interferes with the absorbency of the fabric. My neighbor put me onto wool dryer balls (Amazon has them) instead of dryer sheets. They fluff up the clothes, prevent static and don't interfere with absorbency. Wash them in cold water, e-dry them on low and don't use softeners or dryer sheets. See if that makes a difference.3. Pleasure to use: The first time I used them, their lightness and thinness was off-putting. But I got over it quickly because they worked so well. Their lightness actually makes them easier to handle. Schlepping a thick, heavy towel is not required. When I soap up the wash cloth, the soap doesn't get lost deep in terry cloth nap. And I really knew I was getting scrubbed. That was another unexpected pleasure.They wash up nice as described above, and I'm getting very little dryer lint out of them. Because of the stretchiness of waffle weave, folding them was a challenge. I ended up rolling them instead. I fold the bath towel into quarters, and roll it separately. I fold the hand towel lengthwise and roll the folded washcloth inside it. When I stack them on top of the bath towel, I can fit four complete sets on one 22 inch shelf. That's half the space needed for terry cloth towels.I have no intentions to go back to terry cloth.

Do yourself a favor and upgrade your towels. These are the most sophisticated, absorbing, and high quality cotton towels you can find. I’m obsessed. They look so attractive in my bathroom. Now if I could convince my partner to throw away his ugly towels he’s had since college, I would be a happier person.
