Review on πŸ–οΈ WETCAT Turkish Beach Towel - Prewashed 100% Cotton, Quick Dry Oversized Towel with Lively Aqua Colors - Perfect for Travel by Noell Lieteau

Revainrating 3 out of 5

This is not a replacement for the popular Turkish towel featured on your Facebook feed

I live on the beach and we use beach towels almost every day. We have friends who have very popular and expensive Turkish towels that are advertised all over your Facebook feed. My kids love their friends towels, and after a year of watching her shake out those towels without filling the car with sand, I was fascinated. Here, too, we use beach towels almost every day. But what drew me to these other towels was how soft, absorbent, and quick-drying they were. So I jumped into the Revain black hole and tried to find a fake that was just as great but without the hefty price tag. After countless hours of research and reading all sorts of reviews I bought 3 of these wet cat towels. . They were expensive but each was about half the price of the other brand so I was very happy with my purchase. The day they arrived we were itching to try them. I immediately washed them and hung them out to dry hoping they would soften in the process. They entered the washing machine as thick as paper towels and exited the same way. After 10 washes they are still as thick as paper towels. (See my photos) Pros: These towels don't hold sand! My kids buried half of it under the sand and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly all the sand shook off. Definitely the best quality of these towels. The towels are also not bulky as they are as thick as paper towels which means they take up a lot less room in your beach bag. They also dry relatively quickly, partly because they are not thick. Cons: If you're looking for a soft and absorbent towel, this isn't it. They're so thin that they quickly soak up as little water as they can, and then you essentially just wipe your body down with a damp paper towel. They don't dry my kids after they get out of the pool. The towels aren't hard, but I wouldn't say they're too soft. All in all, if you're looking for somewhere to just sit on the beach, this might be it. If you are planning on using them to scoop up water, I think you will be very disappointed. I regret not buying the real version from the start. Now we have bought two of these other towels and there is absolutely no comparison to a wet cat towel. In my photos you can see the thickness of this towel with paper napkin.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Long wait
