I like using a washcloth and didn’t want to carry a towel while backpacking in Spain. This washcloth wrings out pretty good, sort of treated it like a shammy, and as advertised, it was mostly dry by morning. Last month I brought it on a 12 day bus tour of Europe where I mostly showered in the morning. Wrung it out and placed in a ziplock until we reached the next hotel. Worked swell.Absolutely love this waffle weave towel!Quick dry and no odor quality is exceptional.It’s just as described. It’s light and thin and doesn’t take up much space in my gym bag. I might even consider getting a few for use at the house.Very absorbent.So, I don’t like overly soft, fluffy towels. They always shed too much. These waffle towels, however, are perfect! Nice and thin, yet absorbent. Help exfoliate and dry skin quickly. Love them.I bought the wash cloth and bath towel and I love them. Very absorbent. They don’t hold any odor. And they dry fast. I thought I wouldn’t like them because they weren’t fluffy like my regular towels and cloths but that was not the case. I had bought them to see what the hype was all about. They were the best products I never knew I needed.Nice lightweight towel that actually dries you off. I tried using microfiber towels before but I couldn't get dry. While this towel is as lightweight as a microfiber towel, it actually works.After the first laundering, I thought the towel might be too short. However, when I wrapped it around me I was surprised that I had about four inches of overlap. The towel also has some stretch.The wash cloth works well and the "waffles" hold the soap.Fantastic! Love these!!
