Life saver in a hot amusement park!
I have no idea how this works, but I'm grateful that it does. We got these for a trip to Disney World in Florida during the hot part of the year. The parks get sweltering. All we had to do was wet the towels in the morning when we left. When they got warm, all we did was snap them and like magic, they were cool again. As I said, I have no idea how that happens. A couple of things to know... They come to you soft, wrapped in cellophane, in a plastic tube. Once you take them out and wet them, they change, and we learned some things. First, you need to rinse them before using them. The instructions that come with them clearly tells you this and you really need to do that. I think they put something in them that keeps them soft while they're on the shelf. .They don't dry soft. At the end of the day, when you rinse them out, they will dry in whatever shape you put them in. If you put them over a towel rack, it will dry hard, folded in the shape it took over the towel rack. If you fold it wet to put away, so it will dry folded, we found out the hard way that you're going to get mold. You need to let it air dry. It took a couple of trips through the washing machine before the moldy smell left. Having said that, these towels were amazing and kept us cool in a very, very hot amusement park.
