Great Bay Home 100% Cotton 6 Pack 26x16 Hand Towel Set - Absorbent, Quick-Drying, Durable Towels for Bathroom Decor - Low-Twist, Two-Ply Fibers (Dark Grey)

At first I thought these were awesome. I was a little concerned the first time I drive down by the amount of Lent. But I figured that would dissipate after a few washes. Little did I know that after the second wash they would start to unravel. Little thread’s coming out all over the towels and wash rags. I have to sit here with a pair of scissors as I fold the towels. Now too late to return $100 worth of towels and wash rags. So mad

These bath towels are exactly what I was looking for and the price was excellent! They are not too heavy but not at all too thin either. I love the popcorn weave; I find that the "velour" finish on towels do not dry the skin near as well as these do. There are no loose strings or pulls as with cheaply made towels. I don't like giant, heavy towels that make my wash load huge, these are perfect. They do wash very well so far and after the initial washing and drying, they have shed very little. The color choices are nice and they seem to be color-fast since several washings. I bought several sets of full size towels, hand towels and washcloths that I expect to last a long time. Nice to have plenty of nice, fresh towels on hand when all the kids come to visit.

The grey color is very appealing, as pic’d. The weave has a bit of soft scrubby feel to it that makes you think you are getting really clean, bye bye dead skin. They are a nice medium/high density, so feels luxurious. Good size. I will probably buy the towels, hand and bath as the price, style, functionality are top notch. I would have liked it if they were a little thinner because it takes about 7-8 hours to dry out after use, thoroughly wrung and hung, which is a really long time. But I really like and am happy with looks and use.By the way, one cloth had a frayed edge. I pic’d and sent to seller, they sent me UPS return label and new towels, when the new ones came in, I washed 2 (to make sure at least one would replace my frayed one), then boxed the unused and frayed in the new box, slapped on the label and UPS picked up, I didn’t have to do any real effort to get the replacement done. Nothing beats user friendly seller to fix any issues.

DO NOT BLEACH - NOT SOFT. I used bleach when washing 2 of these towels and they are not gray anymore. They are a dirty white. Did not say on description not to use bleach and I never thought to check tag on towel. Who would want a towel that you could not bleach. Does not make any difference to me for these because I use them to soak up pee on my carpet from my new puppy and I am definitely going to bleach them. They do seem to soak up the pee and then later vinegar/lemon water pretty good. They are not soft at all, they are very scratchy.

I''m so happy with my new wash cloths because I don't have to mumble, mumble about them. Not having to worry if I got ripped off means it's a good purchase for me. I washed them as recommended on the label and think I'll get years of wear out of that dozen, white popcorn wash cloths. The popcorn weave lets me know I'm getting clean. The cloths were just as fluffy after washing them as they were when I removed them from the package. They appear to be so well made that when I need a gift of towels, I'll buy this brand. (I didn't rate the durabily above because I just started using them.) Buy them, you'll like them.

These are not "ultra-absorbent". They are just plain hand towels with a different surface pattern than normal. Nothing special. I bought them to use for final drying of my cars, hoping that they would be more absorbent than my other cotton turkish towels, but they aren't. They aren't even especially soft, and I certainly wouldn't call them "plush".

These are very nice towels; absorbent and soft to the touch. They launder well; I did not notice any shrinking or fading.

So I bought one set and washed it as directed right away. The seams were coming out all the way across the edge on 3/6 towels. I emailed the company and told them and they sent me a second set that did the exact same thing. They’re soft and absorbent and nice-looking except for this one big issue... they aren’t going to last very long at all. Not worth the money even if it isn’t very expensive. I recommend finding something that lasts longer than the initial washing.

Not very impressive, despite other positive reviews. I was def hoping for a thicker, softer towel. Not really what I was hoping for.
