Hab's tested directly with NEM glass of water and it works beautifully. Nothing comes through. Whether that remains after washing so I do not know. Others have however written that this is so.
As the word 'absorbent' it has managed in the description, to me remains a mystery. Had hoped for a lot more absorbency and long rummaged through all the offers and then decide for exactly this characteristic for this here. Sorry, no absorbency. But at least, after a short Einliegen no more noise. Whether I now warmer in bed than before, I can recite to NCIT s, for I am in anyway tend to warm. I've now just the same even a summer blanket bought separately.
Conclusion: Holds tight, not sucking. Therefore only three stars, for misleading advertising.
