serynDo people who live in Hawaii and Florida use the same kinds of towels as everyone else? It's incredibly humid where I live, all year 'round, and my gigantic bath sheets do not get all the way dry if I shower multiple times per day, even if I alternate towels.
Additionally, Simon's mother absconded with all my hand towels and cut them up for rags. I have no earthly clue why she did this and then stacked Simon's bathroom with the hand towels that were in the back of the linen closet (His are the red ones; I hate red; he hates hand towels.)
My previous set of towels has faded to a mauve type color that is really unpleasantly pinkish red, so I am using this as a justification to replace everything. Simon can use my old towels and get rid of his old towels entirely.
Also, there's a 30% sale at LandsEnd, plus free shipping. And their towels have been nice in the past and currently come in a deep purple color they are calling "eggplant". I can get two bath sheets, two bath towels, two hand towels, two washcloths, and a bathmat for $125 including tax.
But ultra plush thick terry towels do NOT get dry in my bathroom, so I thought I would ask if there was a Hawaiian style towel or some trick I was missing. I want to shower a lot more often lately.

Date: 2011-10-23 07:10 pm (UTC)My current towel was a BB&Beyond purchase, middling thickness. I've been using it for fifteen years. :P It's only starting to fray along the long edges.
I don't think I've ever bought and used fabric softener. My college bf (who did the laundry because he hated dishes and I don't mind dish-washing) used the little sheets, but in general softener is more chemical-y than I want to smell. Shouldn't have any effect on how well/poorly a piece of looped cotton dries subsequently, anyway.
