My 12 y/o trains on the varsity swimming team. He is at the pool everyday. Since he doesn't like chamois, is this a good alternative? Does it dry fast

These are amazing towels. I have three girls and they all love my towel and will be buying one for each one of them. The towel dries in seconds and it dries amazingly quick. I use it as my surf towel. Not only does it dry quick, but my girls all use mine at the beach and it dries everyone.

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 does dry fast. However, if he doesn't like chamois he probably won't like this either. It's pretty much the same thing. You have to blot to soak up water.

It dries pretty quickly. I waited about half an hour just to be sure. It is really great stuff!

Synthetic...... my two boys are driver and they will use this after every dive all of is High School team uses them. Check the size it is not something that I would see a use for other than diving though you could dry off with it ring it out by hand than cover up with a cotton towel. I hope this helps

Yep, most chamois do, it's to keep it in its flexible state. Once a chamois dries it gets hard and you need to wet/soak it and wring it out for it to be used as a towel again. So don't be concerned when it gets hard once it dries, it's supposed to. That's one reason I like them for diving, when I travel I'm not lugging around a soaked towel and it dries before I need to travel again. It usually only takes a couple of hours for them to dry out, less if you live in a really dry climate. Hope that helps!

I bought this for my daughter for Xmas--she loves it, and says it dries quickly, unlike the towel they had been using! She recommends it!

Like a chamois, yes. Strong, absorbent and is easy to "ring out" the water and keep reusing. When I'm done with each car I rinse it thoroughly and hang to dry. Then it's ready for the next use. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to "machine wash" this product. So far washing by hand is suitable.

This product works better for dryness. Since i'm a swimmer it is super effective at bringing some moisture back into my hair.

After a good workout, I remove my suit in the shower - giving it a good rinse with just plain water. Hang to dry inside out. I've had no issues so far; suit is performing rather well.

No, I have not used The Absorber Chamois as a cooling towel. It absorbs water quickly. Great for drying car or boat.

So far I have only used it once a day. It might be drying, but it's worth a try - think I will!

Hello, All three of us in our family use this and we love it but sad to say it doesn't last that long for us... it may be because we live in Louisiana where it's humid and we "glisten" or "sweat" all year round. it'll last 48hours at the most for us. But we love it because it's a great natural alternative and comfortable to wear. I've used other natural products and have hated the smell or the sticky feeling and it really has stopped me from using those anymore but Lavilin has made it's way into our daily live and regimin comfortably. My Husband doesn't even notice it's "Natural".

I have the same problem with dry skin around my eyes. I just put it on about 3 hours ago after the drying waters of swimming, and it still feels moist. It works for me.Thanks for asking!

I used a paint brush to apply to the top and when the brush would be close to dry, I tried to get as much as I could on the bottom. This stuff is very thin but does work. I get a lot of use out of our pool and feel like I already need to reapply (after a year). I only used about half of the container for a sport pool, so no worries. The ideal situation is to do this before you have water in the pool.

Hey Vicki, I'm African American as well, however my hair isn't very coarse. My daughter on the other hand has very thick and coarse hair. For years I've been trying to find anything to help with her dry scalp. Nothing worked until I got Wen. Wen was actually designed for African American hair since sulfate really dry out our hair. Her dry scalp is almost gone & I've only been using it for a little over a month now. I've also noticed that her hair has more sheen to it & is easier to comb through. I don't think that by you swimming any damage will be done by using Wen, saying I'm also a swimmer & use Wen on my hair. It's supposed to help restore moisture. But my motto is try it once & if you don't like it don't buy it again. I hope I helped. Have a blessed one. :-)

i have used this but mostly use the adult version "livestrong thinksport " for myself bc it is cheaper. i have not experienced the tanning. works well while swimming/sweating.

I wore this at an indoor pool where the water was slightly warmer (85). The air temp was cool. I get cold easily, and I found the cool water made it's way up my back and became chilly if I wasn't doing something vigorous. The shortie I have bought since is a better choice for me. I think you may have to take in account how warm you are on a regular basis (I rarely feel the heat), and how vigorously you will be exercising.
