It’s highly possible I got the wrong kind of towels. Maybe if I purchased the original Turkish bath towels, and not the Basic Bath waffle towels, I’d get the “wow” feeling of Turkish towels. The ones I have are great at drying my body, and afterwards they dry remarkably fast. That’s the best thing about them. If you’re looking for a bougie *plush* feel that makes a strong impression at first touch, these aren’t your towels. If you’re looking for towels that feel well-made, and get better the more you learn how quickly they’ll dry your skin without irritating it, then you’ve found what you’re looking for! Also, I LOVE the coral color.
