WOW (HOLD THAT THOUGHT!!!)
These "turkish cotton" towels are awezome. To me being a guy.. A towel is a towel, but these towels are what I would think it would be like drying off on a cloud.. LOL I washed them prior to use. I thought this would make them lose their softness.. NOPE, not one bit!
I'm anxious to see how long they stay in this state? I really can't think of a negative at this point, i know there must be.. But I can't think of one!! I bought the "four pack" & the price was right, compared to the tarjay's & wally world's, etc. So as usual I'll be sticking with Amazon at least until those other stores can offer a faster delivery (it would have to beat out my prime delivery so they'd have to do same-day.. And offer a better quality product at a lower price. Since that is unlikely to happen anytime soon.. I guess Amazon is stuck with me!!
Update (31 Mar): Well I finally used one of the towels this morning after my shower and I have to say I'm SO DISAPPOINTED!!! For some reason, it was as if there were 1000 little linen balls all over my shower along with what looked like a dog shedding with cotton all over my shower floor. Yes, before you ask, I washed them prior to my first use. Washed them by themselves even. Now that this happened I just threw the other three towels in the wash once again. I'm hoping this takes care of the issue. I had to take another shower just to get all the little linen balls off my body. I sure hope this doesn't happen again after the second wash. For now, I'm taking my rating down to three stars. After washing again, if I don't have an issue I'll raise it back to five stars, if I end up having the same issue again, well, then I'll have to discuss this issue further with Cus. srvc
UPDATE (19 April): It's been about three weeks since my last update and unfortunately or, depending on how you look at it fortunately, this will be my last one. The first week of April I used one of the towels again after all the towels have been washed twice. AGAIN, the towel was like a dog shedding. While using the towel after my shower there were hundreds of "little lint balls" on the shower floor. The good thing was that there were none of these lint balls on my body as happened in the previous incident. What I can't figure out is that these little lint balls don't happen when the towel is dry and ONLY when the towel is wet??? So I washed all the towels TWO MORE TIMES. Why twice? Well I washed them twice by themselves once in cold water and once in hot water. The first time I used the "gentle cycle" then the second time I used the regular cycle. I then dried them by themselves. Both the washer and dryer are only six month's old. After putting more effort into FOUR TOWELS THEN I'VE PUT INTO ANYTHING OVER THE PAST YEAR, IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING. Last night when I used it after my shower, it was if I just took them out of the packaging as the lint balls started to fall off once again, but ONLY when the towel was wet. So I only have one option and that is I won't be using these towels anymore. I don't know if this was a FLUKE or what the problem is. I think I've put in more effort, then I've ever put into towels in my life. I've given it a "fair shake" and unfortunately the towels just don't live up to the standard that is put forth in the description. I actually thought that after my first review, if the seller of the towels actually read these reviews maybe they might contact me. I think that if someone wasn't satisfied with one of my products I would be in contact to determine the cause & solution. I was a bit surprised when I heard nothing. So I was able to determine just how much this company was focused, or NOT FOCUSED ON CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR PRODUCT. For those reasons I'm now downgrading my rating to 1-STAR and BELIEVE ME IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS. Do I recommend these towels? NO WAY POSSIBLE I CAN HONESTLY DO THAT. PURCHASE THESE TOWELS AT YOUR OWN RISK...I do hope this was a fluke but I'll never know because there HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION FROM THIS COMPANY!!!
