The towels are extremely absorbant despite the very tight weave. These are the best towels I have ever bought, anywhere, and I am 76 years old, so I have bought a few towels in my life. They DO take a little longer to dry than less tightly woven towels, but in my opinion, it is well worth the weight to have towels that are so cheaply made you can almost see through them! I bought these when the NOT inexpensive set of towels I purchased from JC Penney were so sleazy I returned them with a letter about exactly what I think of the poor quality of their merchandise in the past several years. One used to be able to count on JCP for quality merchandise, but sadly, this is no longer true. I was delighted to find the Pinzon towels. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they are NOT made in China...... :)

I have found them to be very absorbent. They are very cushy and really soak up water. Also, btw, using less fabric softener (I use half a sheet instead of a whole sheet) can make towels more absorbent.

Personally, I don't get diredtly out of the pool and sit right on them, as I have a foam cushion beneath it. (which would surely get wet. I dry off the best I can with another towel before sitting on o lounger. The y are made of Terri Cloth, so the will absorb all you can throw at it... Hope this helps.

Sorry...the ones I purchased are not very absorbent, even after washing. the matching washcloths are not great either.

Hi Diana, I didn't know that the cloths have lotion on them...if they do, I suspect that the "lotion" is is part of the solution that's used to moisten the product...to me, the cloths feel & clean like damp washcloths...they don't feel like they have lotion or cream on them.

if you need a very absorbant pad, i find they do not have great absorbancy. they are thin. but for the purpose i use them for they are sufficient.

They are foam so I think they would absorb soapy water. They can be used more than once but over time become compressed. I don't feel comfortable suggesting to wash them.

I'm looking at my blue ones and they're hemmed on the 2 short sides, with the natural finished material at the long sides. I've had these since 1994 so they're almost 20 years old and they're still going strong. They only get softer with age. They're lint-less (why they're used in surgery) and I use them as drying towels. So yes, they're quite absorbent.

They absorb the urine really well. They don't take very long to dry. I have two that I rotate every few days. They have washed and held up well.

I had them for a couple months but I never really got them wet. They are sweat resistant

These are 100% blue cotton absorbent towels. Any towel, if you use fabric softener, will not absorb water. Not sure if that is what happened to you or not. Also, some towels you have to wash maybe up to 3 times to get the sizing out before they become absorbent. I have been using these towels to wash and dry windows and cleaning up pretty much anything. Also they are great to use instead of paper towels after you have washed fruit and veggies to dry on the counter.

These seem very absorbant but I haven't used the regular prefolds so I couldn't answer...

Yes! The pads are absorbent, what a great idea! You will love this item, it works so well. :)

I am not sure if I am answering this correctly but they are very absorbent and not a thin towel. The weave of the fabric is nice and tight.

The write up with them says they are.I haven't bleached them yet, but they are great; absorbent and nice feeling, no that stiff thing that some others have. I use them for gym towels because they're a good size and i won't have a coronary if I leave one behind. :)

Mine were dry...free of moisture. I see the seller responded, but I would still ask for new [providing they came to you that way]
