I no longer use scarves as a fashion accessory. I use them (sort of) for sinus issues and do at least two a day from April to May (on my fifth today). I've tried different types over the years that weren't usually impressive. The "thick" statement about her caught my attention, and I was willing to shell out a few bucks more for that perk. It does not exist. They are no different from other ordinary leaders. I took some photos in the window next to my previous brand which has been washed many times and is just as translucent. That is, through them I can see my fence from the outside. Unfortunately, Revain usually blocks my reviews if anything is apparent, so I'm posting this without photos first. But take my word for it, they're just as thin as the others and don't cost the extra $5 or so. They also have several loose threads and mediocre stitching. I posted pictures of it. Eventually I washed them before use - with hot water and bleach (I blow my nose with it!), dried them in the car - and they were no longer as wrinkled; and they are as soft as possible. But as I said, I use them, I don't show them. At $18 they are not worth returning but they are not as advertised. 2 stars for softness and size. Even if I won't buy them again.
