Mainstays Performance Cotton 2-Piece Bath Sheet Set, Oversized Super Soft Quick Dry Fade Resistant, Solid Beige

All towels shed! Just want to get that out the way. This one is lightweight, so don't expect a warm, plush feel. As others mentioned, each side has a different texture, but both sides dry you off just fine. That's probably why it dries so fast. And honestly, I'm not mad at not having to run my dryer forever just to dry a super thick towel. A

Please LIKE this review it you found it helpful, it helps me a lot! Thanks! First off, the ONE thing I don't like is the initial wash, which frees up a LOT of excess lint into the washer. I solve this by rinsing by hand, vigorously in a 5 gallon bucket (plain water) to loosen up the lint, then I squeeze out the water and follow up with a spin in my washer. Then I dry it in my tumble dryer which catches almost all the lint. After that, it lets off very little lint in my washer. Now that that's out of the way, let's get to why I love this towel: 1) Perfect winter towel. Wrapping up after bath time with it, feels awesome. 2) Generous size. At 5'2" this will be a large towel for everyone except the Big %26 Tall among us. 3) Nice texture. Thick and comfortable. All in all, I rate it a 4.8/5. The deduction is for the initial lint (which you must handle the way I described; you don't want that lint in your washer. So, just give a vigorous rinse in a bucket, spin in the washer and dry in the tumble dryer before use. Now, you could pay 3 times as much (or more) for a towel that doesn't have the initial lint shedding on the first wash. Is that worth your money? To me, I'd rather save the money over buying a 20 dollar towel, and just do a little pre-rinse by hand. Recommended detergent/fabric softener in a regular washer, followed by a rinse. For stains I recommend 2 cups of 3% hydrogen peroxide added to the wash water, no chlorine bleach; it eats up the fabric. Tumble dry low to medium heat. Towel lasts about 100 wash cycles, before it starts to fray, or about 1 - 3 years. Wash separately from clothes, leaves some linty residue otherwise. I have lots of these towels and washcloths, and I make sure to wash them separately from clothes. Buy it, you'll like it!
