It's fine. I mean, it does exactly it's job, especially the "being small" part, which is what I was looking for. Like other said, the texture of that as a towel for your body is weird and my husband was like NOPE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-towel-recommendations#post-2927198 Mon, 04 Jul 2022 13:22:51 +0000 catgirl 2927198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MACSUNSHINE: thanks! That was the brand I had been considering for microfiber. Still not sure how I will feel about them and I have a feeling my husband will hate it too. I think At this point I’m going to get the Turkish towels but might still just get one microfiber one to try. </p> <p>@hitchhiker: Thanks! That’s a great price for the set! Might grab another set by the same brand. </p> <p>@Baby Boy Mom: Thanks for your thoughts!</p> <p>@erinbaderin: Thanks! We typically bring chairs to the beach as well as a dedicated large towel/blanket/sheet to put down, so these would be towels specifically for drying off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-towel-recommendations#post-2927196 Mon, 04 Jul 2022 12:07:06 +0000 erinbaderin 2927196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another microfibre hater - it just feels gross, plus I find it doesn't actually absorb water, it just kind of spreads it around. We got some Turkish towels on Amazon that I love, the only thing is I feel like they get really wet. Which on the one hand is great! But if you want to also spread them out on the sand and sit on them I think they're probably not great for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-towel-recommendations#post-2927195 Mon, 04 Jul 2022 09:40:43 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2927195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turkish towels are the best- natural fibers, soft, and dry super fast. We only got them this past year and I seriously don't know how we managed without them. I've used them even as a sheet in a pinch. We have microfiber as well but they don't dry nearly as well and the kids hate them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-towel-recommendations#post-2927194 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 19:27:50 +0000 hitchhiker 2927194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely hate microfiber (like I get the chills just thinking about rubbing that fabric on my body). </p> <p>I got this 5 pack of Turkish towels from Amazon before my kids started camp this year (they swim 2x per day there) and like them just fine. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01FUCLO4S?psc=1&#038;ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01FUCLO4S?psc=1&#038;ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-towel-recommendations#post-2927193 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 19:05:13 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2927193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have used Dock and Bay microfiber for a few years and they have held up well. I like them, they take up hardly any room, dry quick, sand does not stick to them. My kids are not huge fans but tolerate them. My husband hates them. I still bring a mix of towels since the microfiber is just so easy and light! They are an investment but we are at the beach pool 2/3 weeks during the summer and I have had them for at least 3 years now with very little wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-towel-recommendations#post-2927192 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 12:49:56 +0000 catgirl 2927192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get some new beach towels, I think I want either microfiber or Turkish towels. </p> <p>We have traditional towels that we love but they take up a huge amount of space in my bag, take forever to dry, and are so heavy when wet. We go to the beach/lake a lot and I really want my bag to be less stuffed. </p> <p>So any one have a microfiber or Turkish towel they love? Or any that you wouldn’t recommend? Thanks! </p>
