Towels are something that I normally buy in person. Why? I want to touch the material before buying. Why? A lot can be told by the touch, such as, quality, organics, chemicals, texture to name a few. I am fussy about what towels I purchase. I do not like the big soft fluffy ones that people rave about, because (1) they tend to hold water too long and sour quickly and/or (2) they tend to be made of material that does not absorb well. So for me to buy these Turkish towels online, was a new adventure and I did my homework first.
Like most any new towel, the first washing/drying can remove a lot of lint. Knowing this, I generally dry new towels by stopping the dryer a few times during the drying cycle to clean the lint trap. I do this to remove the excess lint from the lint trap to 'save' my dryer and to create better airflow for faster drying. And as I expected, these towels produced a lot of lint. My package contained four bath towels. I only washed the 4 towels in my machine. If you buy more than 4, you may not want to wash any more than 4 at a time, due to the lint factor.
After several washings, the lint has decreased greatly. The sewn trim edges remain sewn. The ID tags remain in place. These towels wash nicelely.
In using these towels, they are thicker than what I like and seem to take a while to dry after use. However, my research showed that Egyptian cotton takes much longer to dry than Turkish cotton. So far, no souring.
These towels are of good size for a bath towel. They are much heavier than expected, which is not a bad thing, but I peronally feel that the weight adds to the drying time. The weight of this towel is what knocked my star rating to 4-stars.
Overall, these are great towels and I would recommend them. I feel as if they will last a few years.
Please let me know if this review was of help to you. Thank you.
We have purchased 24 of these towels and use them in three Airbnb properties. Really saves the towels that would be ruined by make up. Some people have colorful or intense makeup. Guests also express appreciation of having makeup towels. A Win Win! Highly recommend the quality. Have used for a few months with frequent washings and seem to be holding up well. Looks professional also. A clear winning product.
Amazing towels! These are the softest and most fluffy towels I have ever used! One thing I noticed is when you go to pick which option you want to add to your cart, there are TWO different sets of 4 bath towels. One set is $42.99 (which is the one I purchased) and one set is $34.99, which may be cheaper feeling or thinner. (I don't know because i didn't purchase the cheaper set). I've included photos of mine next to my standard towels. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Just make sure you pay attention to what you're ordering, because I'm assuming there is a difference between the 2 sets.
Nice little towels. I don't notice a difference in "Turkish Cotton" being any softer than the rest of my towels but these definitely get the job done. I like to leave one in my guest room. The rest of my towels are white and when I have people stay there's usually makeup leftover on them. On the flip side, if I was a guest I would love having something like this that's clearly marked letting me know it's perfectly fine to get a little dirty.
Okay, I went ahead and bought these because I wanted really, really soft oversized towels. Well, I got the latter part in spades: these towels are huge. I love towels that wrap around me fully, because I'm tall and broad-shouldered. However, these towels are nowhere near as soft as the almost double-priced Turkish alternative. They are basically your regular, store bought towels, just oversized. Obviously you're not paying the $70+ premium for the extra soft cloth, so if all you want is the oversized quality, you're gonna get that and them some. If you're looking for the softer towel you have in your mind, the perfect towel touch, look elsewhere; these aren't them.
Now, that aside, that's not to say that these towels don't do their job! These towels dry very, very, VERY well. I don't know how, because the fabric texture is almost a direct parallel to store bought cheap-o towels, but they dry like nobody's business. So, if oversized, and drying are important, more than softer texture, get these towels. They dry amazing, and will cover you perfectly! 7/10

Description
I went to a resort which had a towel just like this and I thought it was perfect! When I travel I usually pack my own dark colored face towel to avoid washing my face with the “white” towels in hotels, when I saw this towel in the resort, I had to have one/some. I was pleased to find them here. This is a 6 pack, I kept 2 and I gifted one to each of my 3 sisters and niece for Christmas. They loved it as well, they thought it was a great idea to have! Very pleased, great for self as well as inexpensive to share and give to others.
Small (washcloth-sized), black towels which are soft enough for your face, including the eye area. Great to have on hand to keep makeup from staining light-colored towels. I have only had them a month, so can't comment on their durability but will update this review after more use.
Can we say, Love these????? They are the best! They are fluffy and very durable. Did not shed AT ALL. They also look great in the linen closet and on display in your bathroom for the all white look. I especially like them because they’re think and hold lots of suds so that I can coat my entire body in the shower. They also feel good on my face for nightly face washing.

These are great towels, but there isn't much to them. They are soft and absorbent, dry quickly, but are on the thin side. Not very fluffy. I don't count this as an issue. The thinness makes it lighter and easier and more comfortable to use. The quality is high enough that there aren't any drawbacks to having towels that aren't super thick. I only mention it bc people associate luxury with thickness and/or fluffy. These are luxurious just not ridiculous. Silky smooth, nice color.
These towels hold up quite well. I've been using them for about 3 years now and they do not have any "structural" issues. They are not torn or frayed at all. They are somewhere between soft and firm (without using fabric softener), but a few washes after purchasing them, they began to discolor. Although these towels were originally a dark gray, over time, pink patches have appeared. I am not sure if this is a reflection of the water at my apartment or the towels themselves, but I thought that I would point it out. No, I did not bleach them. I have never used bleach for anything and my apartment has its own washer and dryer that was brand new when we moved in. In addition, neither my husband nor myself has ever dyed our hair (so that couldn't have discolored the towels). I would still highly recommend these towels, though, for personal towels. If you have finicky guests, however, you might consider getting different towels for your guest towels.
