No problem towels

I recently redecorated my bathroom and reviewed various brands of towels offered by BBB. I was surprised at the negative comments about these towels. I have had these in white for a few years and have had no problems at all. From the initial first wash up until now I'm totally satisfied with them. I decided to buy them again for my redecorate project and chose red this time. They are as good as the white ones. No laundering or absorbancy problems.

Not Happy

I received these towels/hand towels/washcloths for my bridal shower. I washed them once to put in our new bathroom. However, after washing there was a lot of lint leftover in my washing machine. I threw them in the dryer and had to clean the lint catcher 3 times while they dried because there was so much lint. When I pulled them out, they still had lint balls on them which flew off everywhere when I shook them. I don't need the mess in my bathroom every time they are used so I took them back. I definitely would not recommend these towels!

Had For Over a Year

Wow! I swear when I researched buying new towels, these had a much higher rating. I thought my review would be one of the worst. Now it seems to be a higher rated one. I've used these for over a year. I find the towels to be soft, but not as soft as they used to be. But they are softer than any towel I'd had before. I can see why people might not think it has the greatest absorbency, but not a huge problem for me. One thing that bothered me is the claim that it is bleach safe. Not really. I bought the ivory and light blue. (I can't imagine getting the darker colors and using bleach). The ivory seems fine with bleach, but the light blue either had splotches or lightened considerably. I know this because I bought too many towels and have some that I really haven't used. I can see the difference between the towels that get washed regularly and the ones that hardly get used. If you don't plan on bleaching, or want just white or ivory, I'd recommend.

Best Towels I've Ever Used

PostedMarch 17, 2013

Would you recommend?Yes
These are the softest, most absorbent towels I've even used. However, if you don't wash them properly before using them, they have 0 absorbency and will cover you with lint. Towel companies treat their towels with chemicals so that they do not absorb moisture while sitting on the store shelves, so you have to get rid of this chemical otherwise the towels will not dry you off. These towels in particular seem to have gotten extra pre-treatment. The trick to charging these towels up is to toss them in the wash with one cup of white vinegar, then again with a cup of baking soda. It's a process, I know, but once you break them in and get rid of the chemicals and lint, they are the softest most absorbent towels you will ever use, with 0 shedding. Trust me.

Best bath towels EVER!

This is by far the best towel I have ever used.
I'm glad I didn't go by all the bad ratings or else I would have never bought it.
It's almost like a small blanket! Covers well, absorbs great, feels like a piece of heaven on my body.
*Only downfall, I had to wash & dry it about 3 times before I actually used it, due to all the lint. But I tell you, its worth it!!

These towels are good towels. For the price you can not be more picky considering there are other towels like these ones that are like $60. You ALSO have to keep in mind that when you wash your towels and go to dry them you cant put dryer sheets with them. When you dry any towel with dryer sheets you are putting that layer of wax onto the towel and makes your towel less absorbent, and your trying to dry yourself with WAX! Also if you end up having lint left over from after washing IDK how your cleaning your towels because I have NOT had one issue with these towels. Dryer balls do help too--keeps them fluffy and have no issues with lint. ALSO!---everyone has different pref. on the feel of towels--if you do not like cloudy feel; they really are not for you..I LOVE THEM and love that they dry fast.

After washing one of these towels three times, it was still full of lint - little bits of lint all over the towel, as well as in our bathroom and shower. It wasn't very absorbent, either, or colorfast! We tried the purple towel, and it ended up with a large pink area in the middle of the towel. We use Dove soap, which is very mild. Despite being told at the store that these are excellent towels, we didn't find that to be the case.

I really like these towels. They don't shed much lint at all and so far, the color has remained true. I purchased the chocolate towels. This is the first time I have every purchased colored towels. They absorb very well. I am going to BBB to buy more.

We were looking for new, soft fluffy towels. We bouhgt o these in assorted colors and then washed them before using them. So disappointed and mad after one use... they do not absorb the water on your body. it feels like it just gets moved around.I will return these , only one has been used. I heard the DUETS towels are better. I think we meant to buy those , but got the wrong ones.= since they have the same colors.

We've had these towels for a few months now. I have followed the care instructions and although they have shed a bit (nothing outrageous) they are a great towel! Still soft and plush as the day I bought them. Planning to stock up on more!!

I bought a set of these towel and absolutely hated them. It was like drying yourself off with a dust cloth. The feel is a combination of a microfiber dust cloth and a velour towel. They are going back to the store!

We registered for two brands of towels for our wedding. These being one of them. These towels suck. They are very linty and began falling apart after two washes - maybe a week of use. We do not recommend these. We are however happy with our Suite collection towels.

I bought these towels thinking they would be amazing just because they were so soft and fluffy and just everything I like in a towel. And to also mention I'm not picky about anything and don't care about how bad a product can be but, however i went to use them and my body still felt wet even after wiping my body down multiple times. The towels are awful soft; but awful. They should include on the tag "water resistant towels". My recommendation DO NOT BUY.

While these are the softest feeling towels we've ever used, they are very disappointing. The lint is endless and the color is fading in spots (we are following care instructions and have only had them for less than a month). We haven't had any absorbancy issues though. We're just glad we got them as a gift and didn't spend on our money on them.

I wanted to love these towels..they were pretty, soft and fluffy. They did shed, even after washing, but the bigger issue was I felt like I was toweling off with a wet blanket.To the touch they are puffy and luxurious, but once they touch water they retain it...I couldn't get dry with them and I ended up using my old towels to do the job. I returned these after the first 2 uses...BBB took them back, no problem.

I used these towels for only a few days, when big white splotches started to appear. They looked like bleach marks, but this happened before I washed them. The towels were only being used for normal tasks- drying hands or drying off after a shower, and I couldn't imagine what was causing these marks as I've never had this happen with other towels. When the dye started coming out of several of them, I returned them. This was the second set of BBB towels I had to return because of cheap construction. The first set started to unravel. I will not be buying towels again from BBB.

Why So Many Negative Reviews?

I have owned these towels for over 5 months. I have washed in cold, warm and hot water. I have dried them on medium and on high. There have been no problems with them AT ALL. They did shed for awhile. Don't all towels shed? They are absorbent. I would never wash my towels with chlorine bleach. Anyone who does that deserves white spots on colored towels. I would recommend these towels to anyone. The colors are beautiful - I purchased the purple and the green. Visitors to my home have commented on how much they like them. I am over 60 years old and have purchased my fair share of towels in my lifetime and there is absolutely nothing wrong with these towels.

The worst towels I ever purchased

Please do not bother buying these towels. I purchased them 7 months ago and they have not stopped shedding. There is constantly fuzz on my bathroom floor, sometimes the wall, and ALWAYS on your skin after you try to dry off.
I really wish I could get my money back for these towels, they were not cheap, which is the main reason that I have not gone out and bought another set.
DO NOT BUY THESE TOWELS (unless you like to clean your bathroom floor everyday).

Bought the bath & hand towels in BLUE. Very soft and really pretty color, but not sure if they're bleach safe as claimed. After use, I have blotches of white on the towels. They're holding up ok after several washes. Absorbency is not something to toot my horn about.
