I'm wondering if these are the same HORRIBLE fuschia towels I purchased from The R@& L*%#!? Not absorbant at all - just move water around!!!

They are quite absorbent--i use them whenever I can in place of paper towels.

I got the white ones and I love them so much. I use them instead of getting paper towels. They absorb wonderful. I did not get the fuschia color.

These are 100% blue cotton absorbent towels. Any towel, if you use fabric softener, will not absorb water. Not sure if that is what happened to you or not. Also, some towels you have to wash maybe up to 3 times to get the sizing out before they become absorbent. I have been using these towels to wash and dry windows and cleaning up pretty much anything. Also they are great to use instead of paper towels after you have washed fruit and veggies to dry on the counter.

I would not recommend the SportLite towel. It's absorbant, but totally not warm and fuzzy.

not that i have noticed, the thing about these towels is that they are not the thick, fluffy, soft towels you may be thinking. They are scary fast at getting you dry and that is the thing I really love about them.

They are very thick towels and quite heavy. They are very absorbent. I am very please with my order.

Sorry...the ones I purchased are not very absorbent, even after washing. the matching washcloths are not great either.

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.

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. :)

I've washed & dried mine many times & they shrink very little. Now I don't ever wash with really hot water or dry at high heat, it's not necessary & wastes electricity. A grandma that knows. :-)

Hi Sandra! The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!! Read my review and you will see in detail what my experience is! I read reviews that said they sloughed off in the washer like 3 times and had a lot of lint in the dryer. All I can tell you is that after the first wash, there was NO string or residue in the washer and the lint filter in the dryer was an even bigger surprise--hardly any at all!!! They came out of the dryer all big and fluffy--gorgeous white towels! The quality is evident in the look of them. I bought two for myself and two to give as gifts (all are being monogrammed now!!) for 2 friends I am meeting in Rome in February 2014. We are going to a huge spa and I thought such beautiful towels would be a nice gift. I think both guys will like them a lot!! I can only tell you my experience with them--I don't know about anyone else. All I can say is they are WORTH the money!!!!!

They are super absorbent and not that stiff. No more so than than the ones used for elderly in nursing homes.

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.

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 truly have no clue why recent buyers are less than satisfied ...I purchased mine in the last 90 days and was very happy. Of course at $.90 per towel I wasn't expecting Egyptian cotton.

As best I can tell,yes. They dry extremely quickly. I use them in lieu of paper towels. Super absorbent, easily washed and dried.

Not sure. I found these towels don't dry as well. They also are not as absorbent.
1460929
I would say yes. I've had mine for over a month now and they're just as absorbent as they were after the first wash.

Hello~ I would assume so, but I am not an expert. I will say that I love these towels, have ordered several, and have been thinking about ordering a couple more. Hope that helps!
