I have 1 in Medium and 1 in Large too. They are all really packable. The M and L sizes can be packed in tiny travel bags. The XL are (obviously) larger but still pack so small compared to a regular towel and I think sand comes off them really easily and they really do dry fast! I can dry myself off after getting out of the pool, hang it on my lounger chair, and it will be totally dry in 15 min. </p> <p>It's just convenient. Ours are plain blue and green, but they have some new floral ones on their site now (maybe I'll buy a couple more). I think they really are that great, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-beach-towel#post-2916006 Thu, 28 May 2020 23:09:19 +0000 jhd 2916006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: we have character ones from target and then some extra big ones from Kohl’s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-beach-towel#post-2915999 Thu, 28 May 2020 16:44:58 +0000 josina 2915999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Thanks for the reviews. I saw some Microfiber ones on Amazon but wasn't sure how good they'd be for general use (vs. travel). We'll probably use ours for both pool and beach, so good to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-beach-towel#post-2915993 Thu, 28 May 2020 14:53:18 +0000 erinbaderin 2915993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have both the microfibre ones and Turkish ones but I’m not sure either of them would be great as beach towels. I don’t like the microfibre because they get so wet so easily. The Turkish ones, same, but they feel nicer even when wet and they dry easily. At the beach, though, I feel like they’d all end up a dirty sandy mess - I think they’re both pool towels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-beach-towel#post-2915991 Thu, 28 May 2020 13:48:39 +0000 josina 2915991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Checking those out, they're half off right now!<br /> @Mommy Finger: Target has some for $6 now, maybe I should buy a few of those just for the kids.<br /> @catgirl: Love how the turkish towels look, the ones you linked have really good reviews too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-beach-towel#post-2915986 Thu, 28 May 2020 13:08:50 +0000 catgirl 2915986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a bunch of Life is Good beach towels. They are large, super absorbent, and soft. But they are heavy and bulky, so I hate lugging them places. So depends on where you will be using them. We also have some cheap target ones for DD to use at home. I have been looking at turkish towels though and think I will order a couple of these to try: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LQHTC78/ref=twister_B01GLASHAM?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LQHTC78/ref=twister_B01GLASHAM?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-beach-towel#post-2915984 Thu, 28 May 2020 12:48:12 +0000 Mommy Finger 2915984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got really nice, thick ones from Costco. I also bought a bunch of the $5 ones from Target and some really cheap bathtowels from Ikea but those are for the kids when they're just outside in the sprinklers. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-beach-towel#post-2915977 Thu, 28 May 2020 11:44:01 +0000 bhbee 2915977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The ones we have from lands end have held up really well - I try to get them on sale plus use a coupon code. And you can add names/monograms if you want to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-beach-towel#post-2915976 Thu, 28 May 2020 11:00:42 +0000 josina 2915976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm badly in need of some beach towels for our whole fam. Ideally less than $20 per towel.<br /> Do you have a favorite?<br /> Anyone tried the microfiber towels? Turkish towels? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-towel#post-358111 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:40:12 +0000 pregnantbee 358111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: I did get a PB monogrammed hooded beach towel as a gift but have only used it for swimming and not baths. I suppose I could try that one, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-towel#post-358108 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:39:21 +0000 pregnantbee 358108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone -- the baby ones we have are just so....useless. I'd be crying after baths, too, if that were my towel! I may just try a regular towel or bribe my friend to make one for me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-towel#post-358105 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:38:24 +0000 Freckles 358105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a Pottery Barn one as a shower gift, and i absolutely love it! It's hooded and thick, plus it doesn't matter what side you use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-towel#post-358103 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:37:44 +0000 Weagle 358103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Carter's towels, but I've found that using a regular sized towel is just as convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-towel#post-358096 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:35:34 +0000 HabesBabe 358096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate the fact that the "smooth" part of the baby towels are on the outside, and the rough part is the inside (if you use the hooded towels). So pointless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-towel#post-358093 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:33:41 +0000 Mrsbells 358093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: I've found most "baby" towels to be thin and quite useless. Your best bet is to use a regular towel. Thats what we do </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-towel#post-358061 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:22:31 +0000 pregnantbee 358061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: My friend said she was going to try this for herself....Too bad I don't have a sewing machine or sewing talent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-towel#post-358057 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:21:32 +0000 brownie 358057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you can sew, my friend has had good success with regular towels and the matching hand towel for making the hooded towels for her little one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-towel#post-358047 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:19:09 +0000 pregnantbee 358047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pack of 3 really thin hooded bath towels from BRU. I don't feel like they are warm or absorbant enough. Have you found thicker ones that you like? Please share! </p>
