The towels are extremely absorbant despite the very tight weave. These are the best towels I have ever bought, anywhere, and I am 76 years old, so I have bought a few towels in my life. They DO take a little longer to dry than less tightly woven towels, but in my opinion, it is well worth the weight to have towels that are so cheaply made you can almost see through them! I bought these when the NOT inexpensive set of towels I purchased from JC Penney were so sleazy I returned them with a letter about exactly what I think of the poor quality of their merchandise in the past several years. One used to be able to count on JCP for quality merchandise, but sadly, this is no longer true. I was delighted to find the Pinzon towels. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they are NOT made in China...... :)

I have found them to be very absorbent. They are very cushy and really soak up water. Also, btw, using less fabric softener (I use half a sheet instead of a whole sheet) can make towels more absorbent.

No they aren't very "wet" if that makes sense. However I have used them constantly and they have never run out.

Yes, these are more absorbant than any pads I have ever found & used. They are GREAT and very THICK...holds a lot of liquid, they are the BEST pads! JD in TX

I am using them for a long time and I feel it. I haven't tried them under water.

Absorbent? Not sure I know how to answer that except say it does the job for me. It is not rough. The rolls seem smaller than bleached big-name brands made of non-recycled paper. That's my only criticism. I'm about to place another order with 7th Gen.

They won't feel dry to the touch, though they do not look wet. They are pretty good to have around when its rainy outside. My poodles hate going out on their own when its wet and if I am not around to let them out they will use these instead of getting their feet wet.

They are incredibly absorbent. I use(d) them mostly while nursing and there wasn't anything they couldn't sop up. The only thing that I've found to be better are homemade ones with flannel, chenille and a layer of natural batting in between.

Yes. I run them in the delicate cycle. I love these towels. They're super light weight and although they feel really wet after drying yourself off, they dry out really fast when you hang them.

I didn't use water. Directions are on each package. You shake and snap them to "activate" the cooling, then apply to affected area. They're not absorbant

I prepped in hot water. I washed them 3 times. They were super absorbent. Im now 4 months in. My son is heavy "front" wetter so I use 2 inserts in his pocket diapers now.

Not at all! In fact they absorb water beautifully. Only downfall isn't they aren't super soft like the kohls Vera wang line and the gray color has a brown undertone

They are foam so I think they would absorb soapy water. They can be used more than once but over time become compressed. I don't feel comfortable suggesting to wash them.

No they don't. I use them as puppy pads, and they are so much more absorbent than the others I've tried.

We just put them through the washer on stain cycle twice before we started using them and that worked for us. To me they didn't seem like the cotton prefolds that required multiple washings before they were absorbent.

No, they just continue to look like new and are extremely absorbent! I'm so glad I purchased these!

My feet hardly sweat at all, so I'm guessing they might make yours sweat a lot. They aren't wool, but they're absorbent. I'm not sure that helps.

Yes. I like them very well. A great deal for the money. One reason that towels lose their absorbency, is due to fabric softener, which coats the towels and they are no longer absorbent. If you stay away from the fabric softener, they will last a long time.
