🛀 Ultimate Luxury: BOSPHORUS Turkish Cotton Towel Set - Multipurpose Bath, Beach, and Hammam Towels, Peshtemal Throw, and Foua Blanket - Set of 6 Review

These are SUMMER OUTDOOR TOWELS! They look beautiful and are exactly like the pictures. Unless they magically start absorbing a lot more water (it's been a month since I use them regularly) I just don't understand the Turkish towel hype. I'm sure they're better for heat drying in the summer, but in the winter I've used them on hot tubs and you feel like drying with something that just doesn't hold water well. It's not scary, it just doesn't look like a nice plush or regular terry towel.

I originally bought these for a trip but replaced all of our old towels after using them for a week. I used it as a beach cover, I'm 5ft 7in and wrapped up to my knees. They take up so much space that they are much easier to wash (I used to collect all the white towels so I had to have a separate load to hot wash them with Oxyclean but they dry and don't smell like terry towels so have I threw lots of clothes at her). They have not shrunk from washing. I received a multicolored one and each of…

I have a large family so bought these to keep by the pool. I figured if I keep finding towels on the street they should match and look cool. Also, I didn't want to wash the regular towels, preferring the ones that dry easily and brighten up the patio. ;) I LOVE these towels! They look even better in person than I expected. They will also make great throws/wraps. I haven't washed them often but I think they become more absorbent over time, like cloth diapers that need to be seasoned in the wash.

I bought these towels to use as bath towels after years of frustration with 'traditional' terry towels which never fully dry out between uses and get musty very quickly. I ended up finding them to be too big for a bath towel but I took them with me when my family went to the beach this summer and they are the perfect beach towel! Due to their size, they are almost like a beach blanket and they dry incredibly quickly, which is fantastic when you are with children on the beach, in the water and…

UPDATE: Towels don't absorb moisture well. It takes twice as many towels and erasers to dry off after a shower. I have also used it to wrap my wet hair and my hair is much wetter than usual. Anyway I still like the towels but they are not as functional as I was hoping. I still keep my 4 star rating because I stand by the quality and beauty of these handmade towels and they dry really quickly. I LOVE THESE TOWELS! They are absolutely beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. Towels came in…

These Turkish fouta towels are the only towels we use now. I first used fouta towels a few years ago and am a newbie. They don't look at all like traditional American terry towels, but they dry great after a shower or a swim in the pool and take up almost no closet space. They also dry very quickly and thus save energy. These towels are thin, woven towels. Although the size is very generous. They are made from 100% cotton and look like American kitchen towels. What you need to know is that they

Love them! Nice muted colors. All cotton, handmade. Incredible offer. These were my first Pestemal towels so I didn't know what to expect or compare them to. Light, big and nice texture that is not too soft. They didn't shrink much, if at all. Unfortunately they are no longer available but I believe other Bosphorus cloths (which also work as Copper Bull) are of similar quality. I bought a total of 12 more Bosphorus/Copper Bull towels which they recommended as they were no longer available.…

Very happy with this purchase. I followed the care instructions I found online (they didn't come with the towels) to prepare the towels for their first use and to care for them through the wash.1. Soak them in a water bath for a few hours, or overnight if possible, before using them for the first time. This causes the fibers to swell so that they absorb water better during use. I was happy with the results; I didn't have the absorbency issues that some reviewers mentioned. 2, WASH IN A GENTLE…
