We bought this 6-pak, and they are just terrible. They do NOT wick. They just smear the water around, and you end up just as wet, except in other places. They're some kind of microfiber cotton composite where the fibers do not work. Our cheap Walmart cotton towels are way way better. Washing them does NOT resolve this problem. When dry, they feel good, so it is a scam product, sold to unknowing buyers.
