“If this item had been advertised as a light weight throw blanket, I'd give it 5 stars. It's soft and comfortable. However, if you want to use it as a towel to actually dry off, it's woefully inadequate. Soaks up maybe half the water on your skin at most, and just smears the rest around. Had to grab another towel to dry off. No wonder they say it dries so quickly, it doesn't soak up much water. Haven't tried it at the beach yet. I'm sure as a towel to lie on it will work well. 1 star as a towel, 5 as a blanket = 3 overall.”
“I bought the turtle Mandela towel for my grand daughters 15th birthday. She loves it. She uses it at the beach and also drapes it over her bed as bed decor. Thanks Sand Cloud.”
“This is my second sand cloud purchase and I love this one even more than the first. Colors are vibrant, love the turtle pattern and did I mention how soft it is!!”
“A towel's purpose is to dry you off. These towels do not dry you off. They don't soak up water, they just move it around on you. Not a good purchase for me.”
“After 2 washes as per the care instructions with no fabric softener or dryer sheets, this towel continues to not absorb water from my skin at all. In fact, it not only leaves the water behind on my skin, but a great layer of fuzz as well. Nothing quite like getting out of the shower to dry off and finding myself covered in blue lint.
The design is beautiful and the fabric feels wonderful. Better left to being a blanket, though, not used to dry yourself off.”
