Several reviews say these towels bleed, but many more sing their praises and don't mention it. Do some colors tend to bleed more than others?

I have experienced no problems whatsoever with the SportLite Rat Towel. Great product. Mine is blue.

I have the orange, the blue, the lime and the other green one, none of them have bleed so maybe it's the way they washed them, I haven't had any trouble at all

I have a lime-colored towel and did not have any bleeding issues. It's a great product.

I have 6 hand/face and 2 beach all blue. They all have bled, learned the hard way one day.

I am blonde with a medium completion and I always use the medium/dark tan towel, and I love them. My friend is very similar to your colour and she uses the same one as me, and it looks great on her. Yes, I would say use the medium/dark. I's a fantastic colour.

Since they are 100% cotton, I doubt they will bleed. Washing them with bleach will probably make the marks lighter over time.

The write up with them says they are.I haven't bleached them yet, but they are great; absorbent and nice feeling, no that stiff thing that some others have. I use them for gym towels because they're a good size and i won't have a coronary if I leave one behind. :)

The towel is very plush and absorbent, yes. I've only washed mine a few times but so far they've remained soft, plush and absorbent.

They do have a lot of lint.......haven't found a towel that doesn't.....the Egyptian cotton is the best towels I have found and these specific ones are just great......I now have six and plan to order more. I think the amount of lint will diminish with each washing.....but think you will always have lint from them. Hope this is helpful.....I would suggest you try a couple (they come in twos) and I believe you will be very happy with them.

I have a green and it does not bleed. Although, I have not tested it, I am quite sure that other colors wouldn't bleed as well.

I think they would be fine. They do get soft but I own embroidered towels that are pretty soft with age and they are just great.

Not in the least. Mine are a deep, rich purplish-red (burgundy). That reviewer may have gotten a bad batch or something.

I believe that the bath towels are as thick if not thicker than the washcloths. No matter how many times we have washed them, they remain soft and plush.

I machine wash and dry them, and mine have never bled. I have almost all the colors, some of them since 2010! Even convenience/pharmacy and liquor stores where I live don't offer (free) bags, so these get a lot of constant use.

I just used some in a white wash(hot water, 1Tablespoon, normal detergent), one item had dark navy blue piping, and there was NO bleeding or fading.

no they don't bleed like other sharpies because the ink is different ... it's like those markers where u have to push to get the ink to make the tip wet and then write ... i would buy a few packs if you are going to use it for something like that though ... they work great, but one of mine didn't work at all out of the 3

Hello from San Diego! They do not bleed and these are the pens that my mentor and Bible study teacher/leader endorse. I've only used a few colors so far, but the brown pen has leaked somewhat, be I saw the leaking before it cause any problems. I hope you choose these great tools. God Bless you in your studies.

These towels are my favorites. They are very absorbent, wash beautifully, and don't hold stains. I have had beet juice and spaghetti sauce on mine and they all come out in the wash. I do use clorox in my white wash. You will love them.

No. These towels have gone through lots of use and laundering and are holding up beautifully. However-I dry them on my drying rack to prevent more shrinking. Since I have 13 towels, I don't miss the 3 or 4 that are drying.

I wouldn't let the 5% discrepancy throw you. They are excellent towels and outstanding value. They are just as good quality as any high end towels that sell for twice as much.
