Help! I need to buy new bath towels

Question

I really need to get new bath towels because these are on their very last leg.  I've never found a brand that stood up for very long.  Any recommendations for a good long lasting brand of bath towel?

EDILMA · Answer

before buy Be sure that they are 100% coton.

Mark Bolka · Answer

Jacklyn Smith from Kmart!    Great price AND they hold up very well. I have bought EXPENSIVE brands and these really are better. I have had 5 for 4 years and I bought 7 more 2 years ago. They are All in great shape and are soft and absorbent. Easy to order ONLINE and sometimes shipping is FREE.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Targets brand holds up very well and not expensive.

Jan - Missouri
Better Homes and Gardens - but there are several choices.  The words on the tag to look for are 'Egyptian Loftwist'.  Found at Wal-Mart - $8 for a generous bath towel.

Linda B · Answer

I've been really happy with my Threshold towels from Target. The price was right, they're nice and plush, and after nearly 2 years of solid use, they're holding up beautifully.

Rose · Answer

Not to confuse you with another store but mine are from Sears and have lasted for years!

Vanda wright · Answer

Don't get the ones that have a 'band' at either end: the band will shrink in the dryer so that the ends of the towel look gathered up.

Anita Buckner · Answer

I found a deal, www.13deals.com/store/item.php?id=44310. I also have bought from penneys and kohls using BRADSDEALS. They are great toweks

Christine Woodall · Answer

I've got a bunch of towels from Penny's that I've had for over 10 years that are white and most are still in great condition.  They were 'spa' towels probably don't even make anymore.  I did have one unravel at the edges so I cut up and use for rags--still using and I have one with band a couple of inches from the bottom, I won't buy those anymore because of the puckering already mentioned

Shelaine Blanchard · Answer

I also have towels and washcloths from Penny's that I have had for 17 yrs. while many others have come and gone to rags.  I have no idea what the actual brand was because the little cloth tags with that info didn't hold up as well as the towels. But I swear, the whole set still looks brand new, no fading, thinning, tearing.  Unfortunately, I can no longer afford to shop at Penny's so we end up with the cheap ones that last maybe 2 yrs.

Mary Shufford · Answer

Got mine from Khol's and they are great

Barbara Nichols · Answer

Yes, Penneys has terrific towels.  I found that Egyptian  cotton towels (any brand) are the best for absorption.

Rosie Walsh · Answer

I've always bought, on sale, the very best towels I could find, and they last and last.  I don't wash them often, feeling that I'm clean when using them.  Often put outside on nice days to dry.  They smell wonderful.

Sophia,M.,McConnery · Answer

If you can get German towels.They last forever and are very durable!

Marrianne Rudy · Answer

I've got Penneys too but in all white. My daughter and I get white because you can bleach them and keep them looking freshly laundered and bright. We use an accent color for display.

Gigi LaSalle Taylor · Answer

I get the big ones from Costco, cheap and they last forEVER!!

Marilee H · Answer

I bought mine at Target, they're great.  Actually better than some from Bed Bath and Beyond. Cheaper too!

Tootsie meece · Answer

I buy from a company thru ebay, georgiatowel. They have excellent prices and motel/hospital grade.

Johnchip · Answer

Bath sheets are the way to go.  Or beach towels. I have a beach towel I bought for my mom, some 30 years ago I still use in my bathroom every day now, looks like new.

Chiricahua Cowgirl · Answer

I bought HUGE bath towels at Sam's Club for $7.00 each. They are really thick, which is what we like. They are hotel grade. So far they are doing excellent. They do shed a lot when they are washed, but figure that will stop after a few washings. Only 1 problem, not a big choice of colors and no hand towels to match.

Cwh6899259 · Answer

Costco has great towels and they DON'T shrink through the non-piled edges.

512181 · Answer

Costco is pretty good.  Try the Company Store too.  There will never be any towels or sheets as wonderful as the old  Charisma brand! The new Charisma isn't bad, but they are not like the sheets and towels in the 'old days'-- (went bankrupt in early 2,000).
Look for Supima cotton for the nicest towels.

Fattwoslim64 · Answer

Top quality towels at a very low price can be found at outlet malls like outside of Williamsburg, Va   -  Prima cotton and I have had mine for over 15 years.

Rjn11982776 · Answer

Lands' End brands have worked great for me. I bought the better ones. J C Penny's better towels are pretty good too.

SHARI B · Answer

Don't forget to check out your local Big Lots store.  A few years back, I picked up 6 amazing Tommy Hilfiger Bath Sheets and Washcloths - still going strong...  They wash and wear very well!

Susan wilson · Answer

I am in England so I don't know if you can get them where you are but with internet who knows the make that I have brought that have lasted me twenty years and still thick just a slight fadeing is christy's I use one bath sheet for the beech every year its so big and still as good as new

Becky · Answer

Try Target, I thought I would take a chance and get some of their less expensive ones and have been pleasently surprised by how absorbent they are and have stood up to many washings.

Roberta Craft · Answer

T J Maxx, had mine for 5 years and still look great.

Peggy · Answer

I like Canon Towels, and here in the northeast we have a Canon Outlet with great prices. Hopefully you have a similar outlet near you?

Brenda Hand-Amunrud · Answer

I agree Cannon towels are the best brand I have found. Target has some cheaper towels that are not as good quality as Cannon but they are a cheaper substitute if you have a small budget. I also like the Kohl's brand.
