You always can use an extra towel or two. These are large towels that work well after a shower or in the bedroom. Though they are best suited for the latter or the beach if you are brave enough. The are not the most absorbent towels but will work in a pinch if you need to get something or someone dry. The reverse seems to be the more absorbent side. Though less soft is does it's job on a satisfactory level.

They have a bright green and pink chemistry design on a black background. The reverse side is a standard white like any beach towel. Edenfantasys is blatantly announced at the top so depending on your area it may or may not be nice to advertise your favorite toy store. I know I am not personally ready to bring them out in public due to living in a conservative neighborhood that is a bit too nosy. If you are comfortable with it, I'd say go for it though.

Velvety soft, they tend to shed. Black fuzz gets everywhere prior to the first washing. Warning: it will get on everything, I keep finding it in odd places. I learned this the hard way by having it sitting out on our bed.

These towels are about the size of "bath sheets" and like I previously stated thinner than any towels,including other beach towels, I've owned. They are 58.5" long and 30" wide. The towels weigh in at 13oz. They are 100% cotton.

I do not see these holding up to heavy use for a long time due to prior experiences with similar beach towels. If anything, they will be retired to be folded to sit on picnic benches with. However, as we got this during the birthday promotion I have no reason to complain. We were lacking in the towel department.

We were quite excited to see this come up as a promotion during the tenth anniversary as we currently live with my boyfriend's parents. They are very conservative and as well his mother tends to be very OCD that all towels are her's and to be counted each load of laundry,etc. This gives a few more towels of ours before we move and a few good towels to mop up after a good play session as I sometimes squirt. They've worked well for that so far. We just hope she doesn't see them.
