Why does mine not feel like a towel, it feels more like a bathmat?

It heavy I used fabric softer ONCE and it's better. It's still heavy but more absorbing now

Honestly- it's taken QUITE a lonnnng time for the ABSORBER to become supple and smooth.....there are other chamois towels that is suggest for skin. Not to mention even now after a almost a year it's still 'rubbery' when wet!

Honestly, to me, it feels more like linen than either of those. It's lightweight, wrinkly, and a little scratchy.

I had an older one that I recently replaced with the newer model. Both the new one and the older one did that, but I found that it usually meant I needed to change the pad, it wasn't damp enough any longer. I lover my newer one because it is longer, not any where near as short as my first one was.

I find that Viva towels do not all feel the same. Some feel stiffer, some feel softer, but they all absorb grease and oil extremely well, which is why I buy them. It doesn't seem to vary due to roll size or style. The standard rolls, giant rolls and chose-a-size should not be different from each other. I have never purchased the choose-a-size in Viva, only Bounty.

The bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths all seem to me to have the same thick fluffy quality. I've been washing mine repeatedly, and they still feel and look great.

I actually like to put a towel on mine. The plastic has holes so when you are wet the water goes right through. They are comfortable without pads in my opinion.

Not at all as soft as a diaper but very absorbent, I use mine as kitchen towels, they are finished.

I would agree with the others: it's more substantial than the typical microfiber dust cloth but it's still smooth and soft on the skin. It doesn't feel rough or thick like a typical "towel". Don't put in dryer, hang to dry.

More of a mixture of both. The outside feels cloth-like and when you lie down it feels just a little stiff, but not so much that it really bothers me.

It feels like a mixture of down alternative with a touch of gel in the material. I say this because when you move to an area not already warm from your body it has that sensation. I love mine and have never slept better. This thing is very warm once your body heat has warmed it up and I need very few covers, even on the coldest night. Hope this helps!

It is very absorbent, and it dries well. It is nothing like what you think a towel would be, but it is big and it works well, and is lightweight.

It's just a color choice. They are both hard plastic which can be padded with a folded towel to your comfort. You may want it padded in some areas and harder for others. If it was a soft material you would have that choice.

None whatsoever. It feels just like wearing a watch that has a rubber watch band. Mine is on 24/7 except when I take a shower.

It's synthetic. Don't focus on the word "towel". In terms of material, this is no kind of towel as you know it. It's only a towel because it can be used to dry the body. The material feels very similar to chamois leather.

It is definitely not minky; it is more like bath towel or bath rug material in my opinion.

It's the shape of a large towel. Not as big as the beach blanket towels but a normal big bath towel.
