Mainstays Performance Cotton Bath Sheet, Oversized Super Soft Quick Dry Fade Resistant, Solid Grey

Please LIKE this review it you found it helpful, it helps me a lot! Thanks! First off, the ONE thing I don't like is the initial wash, which frees up a LOT of excess lint into the washer. I solve this by rinsing by hand, vigorously in a 5 gallon bucket (plain water) to loosen up the lint, then I squeeze out the water and follow up with a spin in my washer. Then I dry it in my tumble dryer which catches almost all the lint. After that, it lets off very little lint in my washer. Now that that's out of the way, let's get to why I love this towel: 1) Perfect winter towel. Wrapping up after bath time with it, feels awesome. 2) Generous size. At 5'2" this will be a large towel for everyone except the Big %26 Tall among us. 3) Nice texture. Thick and comfortable. All in all, I rate it a 4.8/5. The deduction is for the initial lint (which you must handle the way I described; you don't want that lint in your washer. So, just give a vigorous rinse in a bucket, spin in the washer and dry in the tumble dryer before use. Now, you could pay 3 times as much (or more) for a towel that doesn't have the initial lint shedding on the first wash. Is that worth your money? To me, I'd rather save the money over buying a 20 dollar towel, and just do a little pre-rinse by hand. Recommended detergent/fabric softener in a regular washer, followed by a rinse. For stains I recommend 2 cups of 3% hydrogen peroxide added to the wash water, no chlorine bleach; it eats up the fabric. Tumble dry low to medium heat. Towel lasts about 100 wash cycles, before it starts to fray, or about 1 - 3 years. Wash separately from clothes, leaves some linty residue otherwise. I have lots of these towels and washcloths, and I make sure to wash them separately from clothes. Buy it, you'll like it!

All towels shed! Just want to get that out the way. This one is lightweight, so don’t expect a warm, plush feel. As others mentioned, each side has a different texture, but both sides dry you off just fine. That’s probably why it dries so fast. And honestly, I’m not mad at not having to run my dryer forever just to dry a super thick towel. A

The towels first of all we're extremely soft. The color matched really well with my bathroom. The length of the towel was even better. We had guest for Christmas and basically they love the towels. We had a spare room set up for them with the new towels and some other items and they really enjoyed everything. My friend asked where did I get them I ended up giving her one. So now I have to buy another one

These bath towels are exactly what I wanted. The cotton is soft and absorbent, and they hold up well in the wash without fading. I use mine for wrapping up after the gym, and it’s oversized enough to be comfortable. We haven’t tried bleaching it, but they still look fresh and maintain their color. Quick drying, cozy, and practical. It's definitely a solid choice.

Very nice towels! I liked the 2 bath sheets I ordered so much that I came back and got the rest of the set (regular towels, hand towels and wash cloths). Very soft and absorbent. They're 90% cotton, and the best quality towels I ever bought in this price range.

I am very surprised that an inexpensive bath sheet can be so soft and well constucted and 100% cotton. The color is perfect. Though I purchased this to make a drying wrap for my dog after I bathe him, I’m going to purchase the entire set for my home. This is good deal.

Pretty towels! Sooooft. They are 90% cotton and 10% recycled polyester which I thought it was all cotton but it's not. For the price I will go ahead and keep them as i paid $2.97 per towel. I do think it's odd that I have the hand towel (purchased separately) and the hand towel is 100% cotton so I don't know what's up with that. These are Made in India. I do think there is some light shedding.

These bath towels are soft, absorbent, and nicely long. They aren’t very thick, which I personally like because they dry faster and don’t feel heavy. Overall, they’re comfortable to use and work well for everyday bathing.

I purchased this towel so that my large sized athletic son would have his own towel for pool class. I washed it prior to using because previous reviews advised that it sheds tremendously. It did in fact shed a lot in the dryer after the first wash, but came out fluffy and soft. It is very absorbent and is a decent size, though not as oversized as I thought it would be. It's saturated in chlorine pool water, then washed twice a week and is still fluffy and soft after a full semester of class. I would purchase again and again. Five stars for the price, softness and durability alone!

Body bath towels aren’t so good in quality. I’ve washed them before use and after drying them, the towels were very linty. I rewashed them and dried again. After using the towels, they were still linty. I’ve spent over $8 on one towel and bought 4! Very disappointed.
