They are slightly heavier in weight than flour sack towels and absorb water from glassware just as well.

I am not sure about that because I have never used flour sack towels before, but I can tell you that if you follow the care instructions, they are the best kitchen towels I have ever had. They are absorbent and they take to being bleached really well. I bought this set and then purchased the bigger version. Hope this helps.

I have no idea but the towels I received are perfectly fine for dish drying, not flimsy at all. I have washed and dried them several times with no problems. There was a small amount of lint at first but a few launderings took care of it. Thinking of ordering a few more.

I have not used the amazon basic towels but I have used generic 'no brand name' towels before and gotten the same results. Meguiars is a great product for cleaning vehicles and detailing however I can't justify the price of their microfiber towel since it gave me the quality of work on the end product ... It even feels the same way. So in this regard the price of this product is overrated. In my opinion it's the same product you get anywhere else but with the meguiar brand slapped onto it.

I don't know, but I would not buy these towels again. They are very heavy and not absorbent. We are no longer using them.

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.

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!!!!!

Yep. That's about the size of it. They do the job of terry cloth, but they're much lighter and pack down smaller while remaining strong. This is a huge benefit for backpackers or others with a need for such a thing.

The towels are finished on all four sides. They are not as soft as diapers but when fabric softener is used they are soft. The fabric is woven with tiny raised lines on it which is why they would not be as soft as you say diapers are. I have green ones that are used in the kitchen for wiping counters and blue ones that are used elsewhere for cleaning. I wash them in very hot water which has not caused them to fade at all. This fabric has lots of lint so be sure to wash and dry the towels before using them.

I also use green mountain diaper and imagine brands and the osocozy are just as absorbent, but they don't fit as well on my chunky baby. They did take several washes before they reached full absorbency but that should be expected.

I have used old kitchen towels... as long as they are not very thick... they work great!

The flour sack towels are great for drying most anything you wish to. I use mine for dishes and my first lady has embroidered some and they did extra good.Mark, down here in TEXAS

They are great but I don't use fabric softener. The towels are not stiff out of the dryer. Very happy with this purchase

These towels don't shrink at all once washed. I've had mine for quite a while with no shrinkage, no pilling, no changes whatsoever. They're still as absorbent as the day I received them.

I've only had the cotton peshtemal towel. I have been very happy with these towels and particularly like the fact that they aren't bulky. They fit so well in my gym bag.

I'm not sure but I would guess it is the thread count. I know that these are very nice towels.

I only use the Meguiar's waffle pattern towels for drying cars after washing, another good Junkman suggestion (he's on YouTube). Not exactly the same towels you're asking about though. These particular towels from Chem Guys are great for polishing and waxing. They are only extra plush on one side, but I get pretty far with one of them. Only need two or three per polishing or waxing compound for a Ford Focus sedan size vehicle if you're just using the more plush side. The less plush side is pretty soft too, but since there are six in the package I just use the plush side. I think they will last many washing cycles, so a good deal, imo.

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