Sliding Through the Jungle on my Throe

This is as good as you have heard it is. Keeps whatever is under it dry. It is washable making clean-up a snap. Can be used indoors or out, even in the car. It only comes in one size, which may be too small for some play areas. The satin side is a bit slippery which is a drawback, but it does feel so nice on your skin. Liquid does not absorb into it so it will stay on the top.

extremely useful review
There was so much hype about the Liberator Throe. Everyone said, "You gotta get a Throe." I said to myself, that is one expensive blanket that will only cover half of my bed. They insisted, "You gotta get one it is worth it." I said "will it REALLY work?" They said "of course it will; stop stalling." So I caved to peer pressure and ordered a Throe. Since I was going, I went all the way and got the jungle pattern. Verdict - as much as I hate to say it, they were right. This is one awesome blanket. It easily folds up to take with you on a road trip.

Fabric/Material and Care
The cover is made of 100% polyester. The internal waterproof membrane is made of some PVC like material. Machine wash cold and hang to dry is the best way to prolong the life of the Throe. This does not dry quickly, so plan on a few days of down time for the hang/dry method. You can put it in the dryer on low. Just be sure your dryer is on the low setting, otherwise you will melt the membrane and it will no longer be waterproof.

I live in the South so the satin side is nice and cool on hot nights and when it gets cool the plush side keeps you from feeling a chill.

Testing, Testing, Hey is this thing on?
How do I know it works? I poured half of a small cup of water on one side and the other half of the cup on the other side. The water beaded up immediately and stayed that way for 15 minutes. I am sure it would have stayed longer, but patience is not virtue I possess, so I lifted it up to see if there was any leaking to the other side. NONE. The water beads scooted across the Throe when I did this. My next test was to see what would happen if the water was rubbed into the Throe. The Throe did get soppy as the water only soaked through the first layer of fabric. After another hour, no leakage.

Because it is waterproof, it can be used outside as well. This makes picnics or outdoor playtimes much more fun because it keeps you off the ground/beach. I mean who wants sand or grass up your "hoo hoo"?

Drawbacks?
I was slipping and a sliding on the satiny side as it is a bit slick. If you keep that side up then you will slide around; if you put the satiny side down then the Throe will move about. The other main drawback is that it only comes in one size which is kind of small. It will cover a twin bed with no problem. It will only cover half of a Queen sized bed. If you want a Throe with soft material on both sides look at the Fascinator Lush Throe also by Liberator. That is a new addition to the Liberator line. The Lush Throe also comes in King Size. A drawback for those that are high volume liquid producers is that liquid does not absorb into the Throe. That leaves you sitting in a wet spot. However, I would rather have the wet spot on this than on my bed. On the whole, this is a great purchase and I would definitely buy again. I took one star off because of the satin side making it hard to use.

    We love satin. Love that soft smooth feel. Won't fit our queen either but could be used in many applications. Like the safari theme also. It's discontinued on Eden. Where did you get your from ?
