Wow! I used this on my international travel and I was so amazed how absorbent of water this was. It absorbed water after my shower and my hair as well. Not only that, it is large!!! You can even cut it in half.I traveled overseas for thirty days and brought 5 of these gave 3 away to travelers like me. These are some of the best innovations in our generation. You actually can use one of this for a week because it held up so well. When I travel I do not like to pack wet towels in my bag so this is why I began to use disposables. But ai don't want to use it once and toss it out. These are strong and and last a week.With some hotels or airbnbs, you do not know how clean the towels are. If you have sensitive skin, it may be best to bring these disposables with you. If I need more, I will get more from this brand bc the product held up so well.When compressed in a circular roll, it is sealed and seems quite heavy. Once wet with some water it, you will have to peel it open, slowly. Because it is a large bath towel. Not a big deal. That is why it is compressed.For the water absorbency, the strength of this disposable towel, and light weight after you open it, I rate this product with this company A+++++!I hope my review was helpful to you.My travel buddies loved these as gifts as well.
