Advantage:
Very high absorbency.
Not stained during washing as other alleged towels this category.
Disadvantages:
Unnatural feeling when wiping.
Can acc.Manufacturer only be washed at 40 degrees -. I find unhygenic.
Is as heavy as a normal towel.
Dries barely faster than a normal towel.
Begins after some time to make a smell like a normal towel.
In overall assessment, I see the only advantage in the high absorbency, so that you could buy one size smaller in the towel. In the meantime, I've washed it twice with 60 degrees - it has not changed recognizable. In particular, but the long dry season, I found very disappointing.
