Soggy mess

By Baffled - 04/03/2025 06:00 - Canada - Toronto

Today, my wife went and bought a set of fancy, expensive towels and threw all our old towels away. These new towels don't dry. I've been rubbing myself for ten minutes and I'm still wet. How did she buy expensive, broken towels? How do you make a towel that doesn't dry? FML

Same thing different taste

Wash them several times without any fabric softener. Fabric softener will make towels less absorbent

I feel your pain! I bought "100% cotton" towels once and washed the living hell out of them and they STILL would not absorb. I suspect they were made with 80% plastic.

Same with my dishcloths. Even after ten washes, they still don't dry.

One of the very few expenses I don't argue with are Egyptian cotton sheets and towels. Pricey but they last.
