The towels are extremely absorbant despite the very tight weave. These are the best towels I have ever bought, anywhere, and I am 76 years old, so I have bought a few towels in my life. They DO take a little longer to dry than less tightly woven towels, but in my opinion, it is well worth the weight to have towels that are so cheaply made you can almost see through them! I bought these when the NOT inexpensive set of towels I purchased from JC Penney were so sleazy I returned them with a letter about exactly what I think of the poor quality of their merchandise in the past several years. One used to be able to count on JCP for quality merchandise, but sadly, this is no longer true. I was delighted to find the Pinzon towels. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they are NOT made in China...... :)

I have found them to be very absorbent. They are very cushy and really soak up water. Also, btw, using less fabric softener (I use half a sheet instead of a whole sheet) can make towels more absorbent.

no they don't. I love the look of the towels but they do not absorb water at all. I have never used a towel like this before that just glides over the water after taking a shower.

They won't feel dry to the touch, though they do not look wet. They are pretty good to have around when its rainy outside. My poodles hate going out on their own when its wet and if I am not around to let them out they will use these instead of getting their feet wet.

Absorbent? Not sure I know how to answer that except say it does the job for me. It is not rough. The rolls seem smaller than bleached big-name brands made of non-recycled paper. That's my only criticism. I'm about to place another order with 7th Gen.

Hi Diana, I didn't know that the cloths have lotion on them...if they do, I suspect that the "lotion" is is part of the solution that's used to moisten the product...to me, the cloths feel & clean like damp washcloths...they don't feel like they have lotion or cream on them.

Yes... however the drawback is that they will feel and stay wet against their skin, so I try and change them right away. The "stay-dry" ones work well for longer periods. Sometimes I use one of those with one of these underneath for extra absorbency. Hope that helps.

I am not sure if I am answering this correctly but they are very absorbent and not a thin towel. The weave of the fabric is nice and tight.

I had them for a couple months but I never really got them wet. They are sweat resistant

Not sure, just know that I have worn them in the hot tub and they don't come off or seem to absorb the water much. I usually take them off after I come out of the hot tub, though.

There really is not a lot of absorbent material on the sides of these, there is a sufficient amount of material in the front, back, and area between legs for heavy bladder leaks, but probably NOT enough for sleeping on your side, they are good for active people, walking and normal movement, or for wheelchair bound people as long as they are in sitting position, or laying on their back.Hope this helps.

I'm looking at my blue ones and they're hemmed on the 2 short sides, with the natural finished material at the long sides. I've had these since 1994 so they're almost 20 years old and they're still going strong. They only get softer with age. They're lint-less (why they're used in surgery) and I use them as drying towels. So yes, they're quite absorbent.

Yes, these are more absorbant than any pads I have ever found & used. They are GREAT and very THICK...holds a lot of liquid, they are the BEST pads! JD in TX

These seem very absorbant but I haven't used the regular prefolds so I couldn't answer...

They absorb the urine really well. They don't take very long to dry. I have two that I rotate every few days. They have washed and held up well.

No they are not. They are very quick drying, and do shed water somewhat, but are not meant to be a waterproof layer.

They're more absorbent the first few times you use them. After four days of use, they're less absorbent. They seem to deteriorate after about 10 days of period (that's three periods for me, since I now have short periods due to positive dietary changes). My first day is pretty heavy so I take it out to wash it every time I have to pee, which is every couple of hours. The second day usually only every other time. The third day only twice. I leave it in for a four day just in case of spotting. I compost them after two periods.

Wash once or twice then use. The more you wash them over time the more absorbant they become.
