Is this towel stiff or soft when it is dry?

It's very soft when dry. It's not like a chamois that hardens and must be wet again to absorb water, it's a soft microfiber cloth with a waffle pattern that absorbs water quickly.

i would say it's medium stiff. hard to give an answer but it's not "overstuffed" or "understuffed", you could probably squish it into half it's size but not much more

It's rather stiff. I would recommend something that will soak up the water first. This blanket takes longer to warm up if your too cold to begin with.

Hi CalCoxie, I find that the towel takes a while to dry, because it's so thick and made of good quality, it dries your body very fast better than an average towel would.

Mine is just fine... just as good as new. I use it everyday to dry towels, and LOVE it. Most likely you overloaded it. Although is is sturdy, it does have a low weight load limit.

It is not a plush fabric, but it is not rough. It's like a moisture wick material. It's not "fuzzy"

Yes, it is not stiff at all as mentioned in another comment. In the normal filtering cycle in my hot tub, the jets turn on a few times a day and the blanket immediately gets pushed into the corner so it does no good. I bought it in part because a comment in this forum said it was stiff plastic and didn't move around. Unfortunately, I did not install it in time to return it for a refund or I would have done that.

Yes they do have different softness. The chose-a-size is different. I had to buy the chose-a-size because that's all they had, and even my husband said something about them. We use them for everything from blowing your nose to cleaning up messes. I have bought Viva for 20+ years and I thought they had changed them until I realized they were two different towels.

your paper towel may be the problem. try using a cheap, generic brand paper towel or a clean dish towel that does not have fabric softner on it.

I would say neither...its your basic cotton. I would say stiff but not scratchy. Definitely not soft.

I've thrown this in the dryer like any other towel I own. It doesn't hurt it.

Yes, it can dry out and get stiff. You just need to water it to make it soft again. Over all, I wasn't super impressed with it.

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.

It has a nice soft touch and will dry you off without that sensation chamois leaves (that you still feel a little wet) it dries fast but you need some sun or breeze. i was a swimmer my whole teen years, this towel would have work wonders on a competition day.

It is VERY sticky and wet, but does dry eventually. it does take a little while to dry.

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 is not stiff as a board. It's semi soft. I put my feet on it and try not to dent the corners by placing a throw pillow under my feet.
