This towel is a fun large beach towel. The colors are awesome, they stand out on the black background awesomely. It is as large as a standard beach towel size. I take mine down to the pool every chance I get. I love the colors on it, they are bright, beautiful colors. The pictures are fun too. My friend wanted one of my towels, so I had to give her one. I use them for the beach, the pool, the hot tub, the gym, the bath, on the road traveling and the shower. My husband likes them too, he says they're cute. He is a tall, large framed man and the towels work great for the both of us. The towels are fun for everyone. They would make a great gift for the big kid in us.

I recommend that you wash before using. One reason of course is, they are black and to get any fuzzy off them. The other is, they are stiff from the packaging and shipping. However, once you wash them, they are soft and fun. The towels are made of 100% cotton. The neon pink and neon green on the black is awesome, they do not fade after several washings. I have washed mine in hot water several times. They hold their colors nicely. The chemistry diagram is fun. The back side is white. They absorb water as well as a beach towel you would purchase at the local department store.

Clean in warm or cold soapy water as you would any other towels. Do not bleach. Tumble dry or hang dry. The packaging of a plastic bag was not the best choice of packaging. But I do love the towel any way it is packaged. I have two of them. We want a few more for a the bathroom.

Love them still... I've got to get more of them. I can take them any place there is water and I need to dry off. I have had this towels for several months now and I use them daily. Absolutely love them.
