SMYRNA TURKISH COTTON Original Turkish Beach Towel, 37x71 in, Extra Large Oversized Quick Dry Sand Free Pool, Spa, Travel, Gym, Bath Towel, Cream

These towels are nice. Could also be used as a lightweight shoulder or lap cover in warm weather.

Let me start off by saying that I really don't like Western towels. In Canada, we have the same thick, slow-to-dry, bacteria-breeding-ground towels I find here in America. I don't like them, at all. They look ugly when they age, they smell funny if you don't hang them outside in the sun or mask the smell with perfumes (strongly-scented laundry detergent, fabric softener, or dryer sheets).We tried out some Turkish towels while still living in Canada. I loved them immediately. Then we moved to Japan and left those towels behind. Now that I'm in America, I thought I would pick up some Turkish towels again.Why I love them, in general:+They look nicer. This is subjective, but I really think it's true.+They dry faster and therefore smell better. Nothing worse than going to dry your face on a towel that smells like the inside of an old water bottle that's been sitting in the garage for years. 🤢 I can't count how many times I've washed my hand and dried them gingerly on stinky hand towels at people's houses in Canada. Gross.+They dry faster and so you don't need to waste energy putting them in the dryer. My time in Japan taught me that clothes dryers are often a waste of time, energy, and space. There is something therapeutic about hanging your laundry and folding it afterward. Plus, fabrics just last longer if you don't throw them in the dryer.+They're smooth on the skin. I like the texture of them against my skin.Why I like this towel, in particular:+It's a nice neutral colour.+The texture is nice.+It absorbs enough to dry my whole body, and then some.+It dries well just hanging on the drying rack in my bedroom. I live in Colorado, so your mileage may vary depending on your local climate. No matter what your climate is, this towel will dry faster than a thick Western one.One thing I don't like:-One long thread came loose. I cut it off and it seems OK now, but that's still annoying.One thing that I don't like but other people might like:=It's huge! It is almost too big for my drying rack. I could wrap two of me in this thing. And it hogs the towel bar. I'd prefer a towel half this size.

Light weight, have yet to use it. Nice appearance, bought one as a gift, due to it's nice quality.

I can literally see straight through this towel it is so paper thin, and because of this it lacked the fibers necessary to be absorbent at all. Felt like I was moving the water more than I was drying myself off. And it sheds a bunch (I’ve washed and dried it twice and I am still covered in blue lint when I use it). Honestly this feels like something I would have gotten from dollar tree, not purchased for $15.For comparison, I already owned a towel from the bazaar brand that I absolutely love. It’s thick and absorbent. I bought several of this brand during cyber Monday and I really regret getting a different brand. Save your money and skip this brand

Came through the laundry perfectly. Great texture and soft feel. My wife loves it (I prefer a longer towel). Rolls or folds easily for carry and storage.

This is a very soft Turkish towel. These towels can sometimes have a rough finish but this one is softer than most. The light grey pattern is lovely, very subtle. The towel is well made and washed well. You can use it as a towel or a wrap. It is fairly absorbent and dries quickly. I highly recommend this Turkish towel for its style, quality, and value.

This towel reminds me of a lightweight summer shawl. It is attractive and sized well enough to wrap around a mid sized person. (I am a size 12 female and find that it gives me modest coverage when wrapped around my torso post-shower.)I was initially put off by how thin it is since I have other Turkish towels of a different thickness. However, the product is as more than adequate and dried fairly quickly.The only downside is that the first time I washed it the edge snagged. I wash my bras in lingerie bad so there was no chance of errant bra hooks catching the towel’s border. I don’t know why that happened and it doesn’t look great but is still functional.

These are beautiful towels! Large, super soft, absorbent, well made! They've washed up well and haven't shrunk in the dryer. They are high quality and much nicer than the towels I already owned, definitely an upgrade for me.
