EdenFantasys beach towel - gags discontinued by EdenFantasys - review by SMichelle

I've seen this towel advertised on the site frequently, yet I've always said it's not for me. I just couldn't wrap my head around paying $14.99 for a beach towel when I already have several others. Then, I saw this piece offered as a free gift for Eden Fantasy's 10th birthday, and I knew that I'd regret not snatching one up. Now that I have this towel in my hands, I definitely feel like it's a good item to have, though I'm still not sure that I'd spend $14.99 on one.

Basics:
This cute towel is a great way to dry yourself off, and to advertise Eden Fantasy's (if you're up to using it in public). This towel can be used at the beach, though I have chosen not to use this as my beach towel. This is because I like to keep my activity on Eden Fantasy's a bit secret, and I worry about people looking up the address.

I tend to use this more as a towel for at home. I use it after showers, to dry off with. I'll use it to dry off with after swimming in my own pool. I've also used it to dry off my toys, after washing them. You could also use this for cleaning up spills around the house. Or, if you and your partner tend to be a little messier during playtime, you could lay on this towel to reduce the mess.

Material & Care:
This is made out of 100% cotton.

The material is thin, but it's quite soft as well. Even when used to dry my most sensitive of body parts, this towel feels nice against my skin. I do, however, wish that the towel was a little thicker, as it does't seem to absorb as well as some of my other beach towels.

One complaint that I have with this towel is the amount of fuzz that it produces. It seems that fuzz gets everywhere, even after a few washes.

To care for this towel, I simply put it through the washing machine on warm. I then throw it in the dryer for a quick tumble dry, and it's ready to be used.

Design:
This towel is a decent size, measuring 29 1/2" x 59". The size is great if you're looking for something to lounge on at the beach.

The front of the towel is black in color. The black fabric is accented by bright pink and green. The actual design featured on the towel is super cute, as it features what appears to be clouds, a heart, a martini glass, and a chemistry set. The design also features the website link: "edenfantasys.com" at the top, with "get some" at the bottom. I understand that this towel is basically an advertisement item, but as someone who requires a lot of discretion, I wish it didn't feature the website link. Still, the design of this towel is cute, and definitely functional.

If you're a little more open than I am, you'll love it for the beach.

Packaging:
The packaging was minimal for this product, yet it was very effective. The towel arrived nicely folded, with a sort of plastic wrap around it. That was the extent of the packaging.

Quality:
The quality is decent enough. There were no loose threads, and all of the stitching feels sturdy. That said, the towel is a bit thin.

This towel tends to get used as a bath towel rather than a beach towel. It's pretty discreet, but I'm not comfortable explaining to people what EdenFantasys is, so I prefer not to use this in public.

The towel is pretty thin, and it has shed quite a lot, but it's held up okay. No holes or anything like that, at least.
