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.

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.

They are actually waterproof. I am not sure why the description says waterproof effect.

they stay moist for quite a long time. i just opened my second box and haven't had any issues. i think i've found maybe 1-2 duds but besides that im never concerned of them being dry.

I'm looking at my blue ones and they're hemmed on the 2 short sides, with the natural finished material at the long sides. I've had these since 1994 so they're almost 20 years old and they're still going strong. They only get softer with age. They're lint-less (why they're used in surgery) and I use them as drying towels. So yes, they're quite absorbent.

I didn't prep for absorbency, I just washed them twice, just to make sure they were nice and clean. These are a great buy!

I'm about 99% sure they're microfiber. They definitely aren't terry cloth or just plain old cotton. Whatever they are, they absorb very well.

Hi, I believe they are. Remember they are cottons and cottons absorb sweat pretty good. I use it and works well for me. I hope I answered your Q.

they're pretty absorbant, haven't tested exact volume but they'll take a poodleful. Have to change after urination of course, but we leave our dog's on overnight and for 3-5 hrs during day

There really is not a lot of absorbent material on the sides of these, there is a sufficient amount of material in the front, back, and area between legs for heavy bladder leaks, but probably NOT enough for sleeping on your side, they are good for active people, walking and normal movement, or for wheelchair bound people as long as they are in sitting position, or laying on their back. Hope this helps.

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.

Not sure, just know that I have worn them in the hot tub and they don't come off or seem to absorb the water much. I usually take them off after I come out of the hot tub, though.

I didn't think they were absorbent enough. It took awhile for my skin to really dry.

Yes... however the drawback is that they will feel and stay wet against their skin, so I try and change them right away. The "stay-dry" ones work well for longer periods. Sometimes I use one of those with one of these underneath for extra absorbency. Hope that helps.

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

Yes! The pads are absorbent, what a great idea! You will love this item, it works so well. :)

I really didn't think that they were that absorbent. The first heavy day I would have to take it out every hour or so and then always made sure I had a pad to go with it.
