Utopia Towels, Salon Towel, Pack of 24, Not Bleach Proof, 16 by 27 Inches, Highly Absorbent Cotton Towels for Hand, Gym, Beauty, Spa, and Home Hair Care, Black

I’m quite satisfied, and would recommend these for anyone needing good gym towels. I can’t comment on their durability if twisted, squeezed or stretched. I use them only to frequently pat perspiration from my head and leather headphones. After arriving home, my towel gets hung to dry out, rather than tossed into a hamper while still damp. I noticed several people here complaining about their towels unraveling and such. That made me a bit apprehensive, but the price for two dozen was too reasonable to not try, even if one or two were defective. All the new towels washed and dried just fine. Soft and fluffy, too. There was considerable lint in the dryer filter, but that’s common with any new cotton towels. I like that they’re a bit larger than other gym towels I’ve owned over the years. These aren’t super high-quality, but they’re very reasonably priced; especially if you order 24. They’re nice gym towels, and absorb perspiration well. I buy only 100% cotton towels, mainly because they are the most absorbent. My typical workout is 90 minutes to 2 hours, so I sweat quite a bit every time. As for being safe to use with chlorine bleach, I never use the stuff in the washing machine. Nor fabric softener, either. Fabric softener is bad for any towel, and I’ve never understood the need for bleach. They may get a bit off-white with time, but that doesn’t matter to me. As for bacteria growing on them, I’ve never worried about that either. After all, I’m not running a hospital; I just go to the gym. I do wash in warm water, since body oils dissolve above 100°F. I don’t wash anything in scalding hot water though. As I said, I’m not running a hospital!

Soft and plush towels - great for beauty professionals! I personally use these towels for pedicures and to dry my disinfected implements. Most all of the towels survived the first wash aside from one, so I’m happy. Towels work great and will purchase more when the time comes.

Great towels if you're in the beauty industry. Very absorbent and hold up well .

I bought these to go in the enclosure for a special-needs parrot, knowing they will get thrown out at a rate of aprox 1 per 5 weeks. They are not full size bath towels, and are closure to the medium to small size you'd see in hotels. The quality seems excellent if a bit on the thin size. I feel guilty throwing them away as often as I do but this is a special application caring for an elderly animal with severe medical needs.

I bought these towels to use in the kitchen for drying dishes and wiping up counters, spills, etc. I think for that purpose they are fine and about what I expected for the money and based on some of the reviews. If you are buying these towels to use in the bathroom, for anything more than maybe a hand towel, I would not recommend them for that purpose. The ones I have now for use in the bathroom and at the gym are quite thicker and softer...and more absorbent. Although I think the absorbency will improve over time. It has been my experience that even higher quality bath towels need to go through the washer a half dozen times or more before they start to really absorb at the maximum and I suspect these will be the same based on how they feel right now. These are decent towels for the money, but not something would want to use in the gym or as a bathroom towel. That could just be me though.

Got these towels for doing facials on my clients they wrapped perfectly around my clients decorate and face. The color has not faded at all since I've been washing it. It's a great value for the money. They're easy to use thick and lightweight. My clients love when I use these and they clean the facial product off great.

I bought these to use as bath mats rather than hand towels and they're a good size for that-- not too small. They're surprisingly soft but still absorbent. It's fairly lightweight but not light enough to compromise on quality. The color is a very bright white and bleach safe so it should be easy to keep the color, though I haven't tested it myself. It seems to clean well too if you want to use it for that- I wiped off my washer which had some dried out detergent and dust on it. Nice scrub.

Took me several washes before the towels finally stopped bleeding black dye. They also shed a lot so they may need a few dry cycles to remove all the free particles. Once that is taken care of though, the work great
