Bought as a gift towels. Since they are used in the same household, I'm also from time to time to enjoy, to use them. They are now 3 months in use and therefore determined already washed 25 times, and have been a few times in the dryer. There were no loose ends or the like are formed. The tissue is well woven relatively firmly and fairly dense, retains its shape. The paint is still as on the first day. It is not so hard when it dries in the open air, like other towels that are like sandpaper after. So 100% but I am not convinced the suction force. I've even after so many washes still do not feel to be immediately pat dry. That's why 1 star deduction. I was thinking, why go to 3 stars because a towel to dry thoroughly, especially now times, but the other features are too good.
