Kaufman - 12 Pack Terry Beach & Pool Towel of Assorted Colors - 30in x 60in, Beach Towels

These towels are lovely with their brilliant colors and fun designs. Each person gets their individual choice when heading to the pool. But they are thin and will so not very absorbent when you are looking for warmth from a chilly dip. The color is holding up, but there are already a few loose threads after only a couple of washings. As a quick, economic purchase they are helpful if you are expecting guests.

They are NOT oversized in my opinion and certainly not for beach towels. I bought them for use with large puppies but they are pretty thin and if used at the beach, sand would probably work its way up through the pourous material. I don't view them as super absorbent and doubt one could dry one puppy (about 25 lb puppies now). I do fold them and use them for padding over other pads in their Kennel. They are rather stringy and prone to snags but make a quick clean surface over a foam pad and are easy to wash without taking up much washer/dryer space. After several washings, they have held up with many snags (mostly puppies) and the lint finally has stopped getting on everything. They are colorful. If they lost color when first washed I didnt notice because they were washed with other cloth puppy pads and beds. I purchased at about $5 per towel and consider it worth the value for my puppies. I would not use at the beach, however.
