This is a 100% cotton towel that includes a fun design based on love chemistry and the Edenfantasys.com logo. I never was interested in purchasing this because the $15 price tag was just too high for me. When this came up as a freebie during Eden's 10 year anniversary, I grabbed a few with orders I was putting in that week mostly because it was free, so why not?

I ended up being pleasantly surprised. I was expecting towels that would be too small to be useful as towels and instead would be used for cleaning up spills. I ended up with a somewhat thin towel that could be wrapped around my size 20 frame. It's not too thin to actually be useful, but I doubt that I will be using this much come winter. For now, it is great towel to grab out of the shower, but once the temperature drops, I know I will want something thicker. It's about 59" by 29".

It was shipped folded neatly in a plastic bag. There were no strange odors or anything accompanying it. The bag was substantial enough to protect from any kind of spills.

It is recommended to wash and dry towels separately from the rest of your laundry to cut down on lint. This can be washed and dried normally. The manufacturer suggests that this is washed on cold. I haven't noticed any fading from washing at all.

Others users reported that it shed black lint, but I haven't noticed this at all. I have used it several times, and it didn't shed at all.

As impressed as I was, I would never pay the retail price they are asking for this towel. It is comparable to beach towels that you can purchase from big box stores for half the cost. I like the colors and the size, but in the end it is still a thin beach towel. I much prefer bath sheets that are plushy and thick, not thin towels like this.

I mentioned no black fuzzies... and there weren't. Until it went through the wash. It started shedding them like crazy after wash 2 and 3. After the fourth, it has simmered down.

Everything else I said about the towel stands. It is still too thin for my tastes.
