I went down the towel rabbit hole and ended up getting Turkish towels based on Reddit recommendations. I like them, but don’t love them. My partner hates them.
They dry very quickly when hung up. When people say “they’re so absorbent!” They mean they are more absorbent than they look and feel. However, I have to go over myself a few times before I’m dry. They feel like drying yourself with a throw blanket.
Compare that to my Ralph Lauren plush towels that are about 3 years old and still look very good (not like new, but close) and dry myself very quickly but are still damp the next morning.
