are they absorbant??or do you still feel wet after use??

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.

I use them when I handle large rusty chains and they get wet quick. They absorb the dust of the chains and even after a wash--still seem to have residue in them. Interestingly enough...my hands stay clean. Lol But honestly, these feel like any other brand like these. These just look cooler. :-/

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.

They seem to be. I only wear them in the gym and I get pretty sweaty. Of course, I can't vouch for what your experience will be.

Not me. Mine stay clear until I am really warm from work out, then they may begin to fog depending on water temperature.

Personally, I don't get diredtly out of the pool and sit right on them, as I have a foam cushion beneath it. (which would surely get wet. I dry off the best I can with another towel before sitting on o lounger. The y are made of Terri Cloth, so the will absorb all you can throw at it... Hope this helps.

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

So sorry for the delay. My husband said that he has not used them around water but he has used them in very hot temperatures where he sweated and that moisture didn't affect them at all.

I found them to be fine after washing. I washed them with a regular load of laundry (front load) with the same methods and detergents regularly used.Nothing feels as good as when you first get them, but I was definitely satisfied with the product following the washing.Good Luck.Leon

they are not waterproof but the moisture doesn't soak through quickly if subjected to some water. i haven't submerged them in anything so i can't speak to that..

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.

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

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.

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.

I take mine on wildfire assignments, and use to dry after showing...because they absorb SO much water quickly, and then they DRY back out quickly....I haven't used them to WASH with, but I don't see why not, as they do absorb water...and they DO dry out quickly !!!!!

I sweat from head to toe during my daily workout and these are drenched but still holding on to my ankles. So yes they do handle a heavy soaking each day, although I haven't gone swimming or participated in actual water exercise wesring them.

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.
