1,194 customers mention "Quality"832 positive362 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the towel. Some mention it's very nice, soft, and high quality, while others say it'd be cheaply made and fragile. The loose weave side makes the towels fray after some usage and repeated wash cycles. They're made out of some kind of NASA material that borders on plastic.

449 customers mention "Absorbency"339 positive110 negative

Customers like the absorbency of the towel. They say it's highly absorbent, soft, and a great value. Some mention that it absorbs spit up without letting it come through. They also appreciate that it soaks up enough water to get the cleanser or sweat off and that it doesn't stay wet for long when hung up.

The perfect wash cloth for my face.

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

I got the purple ones. I love the color. I bought these to wash my face with. I got the purple ones because everyone in the house knows they are mom's face wash cloths. They know better than to grab one to wipe something off of the floor, actually they should not touch them ever !

I love how soft they are. I read many reviews, and I am always a bit skeptical, as I believe some are fake. Especially the ones that talk about how scratchy something is when 80% of the reviews comment on the softness. I do like how they soak up enough water to get the cleanser - or the sweat off of my face. But I can hang them on the little hook or towel rack in the shower, and they dry in no time. I dont want a wash cloth so thick and heavy it takes 2 days to dry.

I will be buying more of these, and possibly some hand towels too. Those I am also picky about, they must be able to soak up the water when you dry your hands. I hate cheap towels that can not handle the one job I purchase them for. I also washed them as soon as they arrived and did not notice hardly any purple in the lint trap. The rest of the towels are mainly white. If they had given off a lot of lint, I would have noticed.

Surprisingly soft and absorbent

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

These towels are inexpensive. It's important to set your expectations knowing that.

The good:
- Color. Can't speak to chemical bleaching since I don't wear cosmetics, but the color has held through several washes. I bought pink and it is a vibrant soft blush tone that I absolutely love. There are so many color choices.
- Absorbency. It's not the best I've ever used, but it does a good job of drying skin and it doesn't stay wet for long when hung up.
- Softness. It is very soft. Think baby toy fabric soft.
- Lint. The first two washes left a large amount of lint on the dryer screen, which I expected. I have not had any problems with lint shedding since, not on my skin or in the dryer.

Not good:
- Thickness. These towels are fairly thin. They're plush enough to feel nice and I'm not ashamed to use them as guest towels, but if you're used to luxury you'll be disappointed.
- Durability. After a few washes, there are noticable broken loops dangling. This may or may not be an indicator of overall durability. I've had towels last years and never break another loop, and I've had towels unravel.

Bottom line: The stitching tells me these probably won't last more than a year or so, but at this price, I won't be too upset. Maybe I'll switch colors every year. Set your expectations appropriately for a low end towel and you should be suitably impressed with these.

Excellent for those of us that dislike plush towels

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

I am really pleased with the Amazon Basics jersey knit sheets that I have, so when we needed some towels I thought I would see if Amazon had some in their house brand.

All of us (mom, husband and I) dislike hotel-style fluffy towels. We like ones that are a little bit scratchy- beach towels are better than plush towels. Plush towels aren't as absorbent and I always feel slimy after using them.

These towels are kind of a strange hybrid. They are softer, but not super thick. They dry you off as well as a scratchy towel but they are softer to the touch. I bought 3 sets, so a total of 6 towels. Make sure you wash them and run them through the dryer before using them. The amount of dryer lint these created during their first wash was really impressive. Like a Tribble or something.

The only minus is that the color options are kind of snooze-worthy. It isn't something I would deduct a star for, but I would much prefer some jewel tones instead of pastels. I don't buy towels too often, but if they came out with better colors, I would absolutely buy more.

The size is perfect, they work well, and the price point is great.

Average Towel, somewhat thin.

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023

It is a good average towel. For the price you might do better to shop where you can touch the product if you want more plush for the price. The color selection is nice. Very washable, colors don't run.

I purchased Amazon Basics Quick-Dry Washcloth - 100% Cotton, 12-Pack, Ice Blue. Unlike the Amazon Basics towels, these washcloths do not produce any lint. These are highly absorbent, soft, and a great value. Love the color too!

Very impressed with quality

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2023

Verified Purchase

I was shockingly impressed by the quality of these washcloths. I bought 2 sets when they were on sale, and I'm glad that I did. I haven't even opened the second set yet because they are holding up so well after multiple uses. I wash them in hot water. They look the same as the the first wash. They are soft, so if you prefer a rougher type of washcloth, these are not for you. But they are extremely durable.
