Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

How on Earth does this product have so many five star ratings? I received these and was disappointed to see that they are not bath mats, they're literally towels. There's no traction on the bottom and no thickness, they're just simply towels, and a towel does not a bath mat make. Being that my wife and I just moved into a new apartment and are a bit low on funds, I tried to figure out a way to make this work. I put rubber rug mats under the towels to try and prevent them from sliding--doesn't matter. They slide anyway, and slide dangerously, because they do so every time I get out of the shower. They also seem to attract copious amounts of debris--or at least show it quite clearly. In short, there's no cushioning, no traction, no thickness and no REASON to buy this OR GIVE IT FIVE STARS.
