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.

no they don't. I love the look of the towels but they do not absorb water at all. I have never used a towel like this before that just glides over the water after taking a shower.

No they aren't very "wet" if that makes sense. However I have used them constantly and they have never run out.

Mine were very absorbant after just one wash. What kind of detergent did you use? You don't use fabric softener in the dryer do you? I just use All Free & Clear and they worked great immediately.

They are soft, and I often use one as a towel when washing only my face. My skin is somewhat sensitive. They are fine with me.

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. :)

There really is not a lot of absorbent material on the sides of these, there is a sufficient amount of material in the front, back, and area between legs for heavy bladder leaks, but probably NOT enough for sleeping on your side, they are good for active people, walking and normal movement, or for wheelchair bound people as long as they are in sitting position, or laying on their back. Hope this helps.

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.

Hello there, These are not wet, they are microfiber where you can mop when the floor are wet.

These are slightly damp...but dry out in about 10-15 seconds. So...in my book...that is dry. these ones are pretty amazing!

I found them to be fine after washing. I washed them with a regular load of laundry (front load) with the same methods and detergents regularly used.Nothing feels as good as when you first get them, but I was definitely satisfied with the product following the washing.Good Luck.Leon

They are actually waterproof. I am not sure why the description says waterproof effect.

Wet, but not too wet. These are fabulous, and I've been using them for years.

I am using them for a long time and I feel it. I haven't tried them under water.

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

Not really. They are a micofiber towel. They do not smear the water, they suck it up. I keep one on my vespa and completely wipe it down after major rain storms and the thing dries the vehicle instantly and barely feels wet.

I use them when I handle large rusty chains and they get wet quick. They absorb the dust of the chains and even after a wash--still seem to have residue in them. Interestingly enough...my hands stay clean. Lol But honestly, these feel like any other brand like these. These just look cooler. :-/
