Would you recommend this for daily after-shower use? If you have tried the Lightload brand, is Sea to Summit thicker and does it really absorb well?

Yes. We use it when traveling and it works well. I have not tried another one to compare.

It does - I don't know how long it will last if you use it daily, I bought it because I am going to do a pilgrimage at the Camino de Santiago in Spain for 30 days and I needed something small and light that works. I have used it and it's perfect - not only absorbs really well but also it gets dry fast.

I used this towel daily for three weeks while in studying abroad. I bought it to travel light and more compact, and it was good for that. It is not as good as a terry cloth towel, but it does work well. It dries fast enough too. I'd buy it again.

I've never tries the Lightload brand. I used Seat to Summit once at the gym and once at the beach. Both times the towel did a great job of absorbing.

Have not tried Lightload but I would not recommend sea to summit. I used it for after swimming drying off but didn't find it very effective and it becomes smelly rather quickly. I returned it and bought Speedo instead.

It is better to use it during the day so it has time to dry, at night you sweat and toss and turn...It will discolor your sheets and clothes. I love it regardless and use it daily. It does take better to just showered skin but it's not necessary

I also read about this scrub to cut down on the initial slipperiness. Manduka also suggests this scrub, however I chose not to use it. It really does become better the more you use it and I use mine pretty much everyday. But if Manduka is suggesting it, then I'd think it is safe for your mat. Maybe you could hang it over the shower to dry if it's too cold outside.

I use it for crystal light then water for about three days and wash in dishwasher. No issues. I even used chia seeds once a day. Worked great for a year before I lost it.

I really do like the sea kelp soap. it's creamy and has a very rich lather.i used it mostly for my face and under arms ( when shaving). The price is worth it because it lasts a while too.

I been using mine in the shower since I bought it over a year ago with no issues. It is worth the price every bit. Keeps your skin looking its best. I am 46 and look 35 tops but I also eat right and work out regularly.

My experience says Yes. I believe it is no worse nor better than most of the brands on the market. I use it for all washing (sheets, towels, jeans, undershirts, etc) and have never been disappointed. Even sweaty workout gear comes clean (and fresh smelling). I'm a big fan of the subtle Lavender scent.

I don't think it's thick enough personally, it's midline in my opinion. I've noticed it also doesn't really absorb into your skin, but sits on top and will ball up sometimes if you rub your face. I would use the Cerave lotion in the blue tub if you want serious hydration.

I just did a side by side comparison with Prevail and Walgreens brand (exact same item) and they both held 12 oz of water but both leaked if squeezed. In my opinion, the BEST for max absorbency and NO leaking is Tena Level 3 male guards.

I have 2oz size and used it on The Mat by Lululemon; it absorbs in very quickly, so it works nicely for a light spray down after class to keep funkiness away, but plan on continuing deep cleans-- in my experience, scented stuff tend to make the surface a little slippery, and bc The Mat is double thickness the spray bottle provided is not going to discharge enough to actually clean it.

I'm not sure about a whole body - maybe a smallish one? I have ample in one towelette for my head, neck, arms and legs for golf and fishing - never tried the whole body. But it works - lasts a long time - 3-4 hours per towelette of South Florida sun/sweat. Don't know about swimming/wash off; try the manufacturer for that? One thing I do like - other than the great convenience - is the product never leaves a stain like so many others do in sweaty use. Same for the lotion version.

Is this a real question? This stuff has very limited utility and isn't worth the cans they squirt it into. Don't rip yourself off by buying it. I wouldn't spray anything with this trash. It will flake off within a week if water is continuously spraying it or if you touch it regularly. It might be water repellant but it has no wear abilities whatsoever. Not to mention the fact that it always retains a tacky/velvety texture and you can feel it on your skin after touching it. It also dissolves with terpines or oil based products so any cleaning agents you would use in your shower would have to be water based only. Is this a real question?

I also have the larger size and it is one lb 2oz, or 18oz like the other person said. This size is quite large so the slightly smaller size should be good for hiking. Its super absorbant, soft, and dries very fast.

We've been using it verses the Lemi Shine brand and it does exactly the same, its environmentally safe and natural and a big savings cost wise as well. Im very happy with the product and purchase. We add aprox. 1/4 cup or roughly 2-3 tablespoons, but we have very hard water.

Yes very safe. It is non toxi and its water repellent features makes it safer for visual clarity. As for value for money, I have switch to the brand NANOX by Hi Gear which is cheap and larger quantities but as effective. I used it for my car wind shield, windows, mirrors and best of all, shower screen because it is able to remove stubborn stains easily by itself without the need for any detergents. Now my shower screen looked brand new.

I find it absorbent and not really rough. I think this one is better than Marcal, but obviously, TP is personal preference! :)

I do love this one but if you're extra dry go to their lovely site. I recommend their Castile Olive soap. I use this on my hair and face too & never felt it was too gentle to shower with.
