Is the durability of this towel reliable? I have tried microfiber towels before and it wears down after couple of washes not as comfortable as before

My oldest eQua mat towel is at least 3 years old, washed many times, and it feels just as soft/comfy as my newer ones that have only been washed once or twice. I wash using cold water only and tumble dry low without dryer sheets/softener. I'm always amazed by how "new" my old towel looks once I've put it through the wash. The Manduka company has great customer service, so if you do have a problem, contact them!

Yes! I have had mine for about 6 months and have washed it at least weekly. It still feels like new. Always wash in cold water, tumble dry low and never use fabric softener or dryer sheets.

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.

Interesting question. I'm not sure, as It is meant to be an absorbent core. I'm just not sure how well it would hold up to repeated usage if it didn't have another fabric protecting it. That is to say that yes it would do that but you might not get too many uses out of it. It is very highly absorbent though.and who knows, it might hold up fine I just can't really tell as I've never used it that way.

No, not like microfiber - I know that feels really weird when you sweat -- It is like a really thin, sort of worn wash cloth. That is the best way I know how to describe the texture of the mat. This is not to say that the mat is worn and not durable though. Love it, use it, and wash it once or twice a week for months now.

I've washed mine 4 or 5 times now with no issue. I just use tumble dry low.

Honestly- it's taken QUITE a lonnnng time for the ABSORBER to become supple and smooth.....there are other chamois towels that is suggest for skin. Not to mention even now after a almost a year it's still 'rubbery' when wet!

I have had mine for more than five years. It has shown no wearing down at all. I am very happy with it.

With quality paper towels you can easily tear it with one hand. I find inferior products do not tear as well and require 2 hands sometimes. Not a problem for me though. I still love it.

I don't really know because I have only used the microfiber towel which I really like.

I just wash and dry them like I would any towel. Not sure if this recommended but it works. I've had mine for a year with weekly washing a and they are in great shape. When possible I love to line dry!

I'm speaking only based on experience, but I wash it every other time I use my vacuum (so about once or twice a month). I bought this more than a year ago and so far, I've only gone through one and it's still good.

Funny you should ask, I just washed mine for the first time and it was fine. I have truly enjoyed this comforter and consider it a good value.

I've only washed mine once since I have had it so I couldn't really say about frequent but it held up through the one washing. I even was able to fit it all in my washer at home though I had thought I was going to have to find a Laundromat to take it to.

I've had mine for almost a year and use it a couple times a month. I'm careful with it but it's held up just fine. I wouldn't consider it super durable but there's that fwiw.

Yes. We have washed and dried ours several times already and no problems. :)

Mine survived 2 washes before it started to bunch up in the corner. It does scratch.
