(SET of 6) 100% Turkish Cotton Beach Towel Set, Hammam Peshtemal Blanket, Thin Light Compact Travel Towel for Adults, Oversized Quick Dry Sand Free, Made in Turkey, Prewashed, 71x36" 180x90cm (Gray)

I purchased these towels for use as bath towels, after years of frustration with "traditional" terry cloth towels that never fully dry between uses and become musty very quickly. Ultimately, I found them to be a bit too big for a bath towel, but I took them with me when my family went to the beach this summer and they are the perfect beach towel! Due to the large size, they are almost like a beach blanket, and they dry incredibly quickly, which is fantastic when you are the beach with kids who are in and out of the water. I found that it I left them stretched out in full sun, they dried within 30 minutes, and at the end of the day, I hung them on the line and they were completely dry and ready to head back to the beach the following morning. As a bonus, I had two clean towels in my carry-on on the return flight home, and discovered that they make a perfect wrap/lightweight blanket in-flight! The quality is excellent - very soft cotton that has already become more plush with a handful of washings (ensure you follow care instructions closely)! These are a great find!

These Turkish Fouta Towels are the only towels we use now.I first used fouta towels a few years ago and I am a convert. They are nothing like traditional, American, terrycloth, towels but they do a great job of drying you off after a shower or a dip in the pool and they take up almost no space in your linen closet. Plus, they dry super fast so they save energy, too.These towels are thin, woven, towels. The sizing is very generous, though. They are made of 100% cotton and are similar to American tea towels. The thing you need to know is that they must be washed 5-6 times to reach maximum absorbency and do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets. Fabric softener and dryer sheets reduce absorbency in every kind of towel, btw. Instead I use dryer balls, which make towels nice and soft.They seem a little strange at first but we love them. They are much larger than bath towels and they are plenty absorbent. They look great with the twisted self fringe at either end and the woven in stripes. But what I really love is that I can fit the 12 I purchased in such a small space in my linen closet. These are perfect for people who have limited storage space.I had a house fire earlier this year and lost all of my towels. I replaced them with a dozen of these and everyone is pleased.

Originally, I got these for a trip but have replaced all our old towels after getting a week with these towels. I used it as a beach cover up, I’m 5’7 and it’s to my knees when wrapped. They take so much room that laundry became so much easier (I used to collect all the white towels so I had to have a separate load to wash on hot with Oxyclean but these dry and don’t get any smells like terry towels so I have been throwing them with clothes loads). Washing did not shrink them. I got the multicolor and my kids have each claimed a color which avoids confusion.

I have a big family and so bought these to keep around the pool. I thought if I was going to keep finding towels laying around outside, that they should match and look cool. Also, I didn't want to keep laundering regular towels, but rather have ones that dry easily and add to the look of the patio. ;) I LOVE these towels!! They look even nicer in person than I was expecting. They would make great throws/wraps as well. I haven't washed them much yet, but i imagine they will get more absorbant over time, much like cloth diapers which need to be seasoned through washing. They are perfect for using in a warm climate--would probably use something else to dry in the winter, but then again we don't go through many towels on the daily in the winter. I'm VERY happy with this purchase and might buy more for the bathrooms.

Have been using for 2 years they are still perfect. Most important to me is how quickly they dry with no off smell. Can use for a week with no smell it still looks fresh. Was tried of regular towels that took forever to dry and I live in Arizona with no humidity. No regrets on my purchase, they did shed until about 5-6 washes. Our granddaughter used them and loved them, I ordered her another set with different colors, she loved them so order me a set, it was a no, not nearly as nice as this brand, gave them to her. Use to wrap hair, and towel wraps around body I’m small, but will wrap around large person, when a regular towel won’t. The Best5 star🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I absolutely love these! Beautiful muted colors. All cotton, handmade. An incredible bargain. These were my first peshtemal towels, so I wasn’t sure what to expect or what to compare them to. Lightweight, generous size, and a nice texture that is not too soft. They did not shrink a great deal, if at all. Unfortunately, they are no longer available but I would imagine that others by Bosphorus (also operating as Copper Bull) has similar quality ones.I did purchase a total of 12 more towels from Bosphorus/Copper Bull that they recommended since these were no longer available. They are nice looking (nice bright colors, diamond weave, and nice smooth texture). But I still prefer the originals for now, although they may grow on me.Update July 2019:The original towels (like thick woven string) are still doing well, but they left lint on my daughter’s swimsuit. Less now than a year ago.The diamond weave towels were awful and not soak up water at all. Pretty but useless.The latest batch purchased a month or two ago are the best! It’s like a really big, super sized thick flour sack towel. Much larger than the other towels. Texture seemed weird at first but they absorb water well and dry quickly. They also look great. They are my daughter’s favorite towels for summer swim meets.

We are a water family... pool, boat... all water, all summer. I wasn't sure about these, but thought I'd give them a try and now will be buying more. I thought that only big, fluffy, terrycloth towels "worked"... but after years of sopping wet towels that never dry and seem to always be filling up the laundry baskets - I love these towels. They get you just as dry as a big towel, and then they dry right away. They all fit in one load of laundry.

Great quality for the price, though doesn't scream luxury (a bit thin and not crazy soft). Folds up very small for the size without sacrificing usefulness as a towel. They are very soft and comfortable, so much so that my family often wears them as scarves, and they are big enough to keep you warm in chilly weather! Overall an enjoyable and versitile piece of fabric.

Loving my Turkish towels! Quality is awesome and they arrived so quickly!
