These washcloths we're a back to college purchase for my daughters dorm room. She loves them. They are soft, hold both water and soap, and work exactly as expected, and don't stiffen as they air dry, or after being washed and dried in the machine.They worked better than expected for the price.Sadly the item didn't look good after its 1st washing. It's a cloth and is usable, but it isn't attractive. It's not particularly soft. I guess I had very unrealistic expectations for this product.SoftnessToo thin to absorb all the water on my wet face. Very soft. It feels saturated in just one use, leaving my face feeling not exactly completely dry. I need a thicker towel to absorb all the water and really dry my face. Very soft and thin. I use them and wash them daily, but I will go back to normal Egyptian or Turkish towel.Amazon should really think about adding a 1/2 star. A 2 ply paper towel feels better than these. Oh and the picture is DECEIVING. WAFER THIN CHEAP PAPERVery soft and large for a washcloth. Great for makeup removal.I did like it because it is so really softNot good....came apart on end after ONE WASHING...!
