Bamboo towels? Optimum percentage?

[beemin]

Any bamboo towel owners out there? I'm wondering what ratio of bamboo to cotton is good for lasting softness, absorbency and quickness to dry (without a tumble dryer)? I've seen some reasonably priced towels with 30% bamboo. Is that enough? If you have some that you love, where did you buy them and what % bamboo do they have?

Bumping for the Sunday morning crowd 🙂

Bamboo is soft and absorbent. Not very hard wearing though. It’s basically viscose..

Yes, bamboo towels are marketed on the basis of being soft and absorbent, as well as anti-microbial (so less likely to pong). But they seem to vary from 20% bamboo to 70% bamboo, mixed with cotton. I found the 70% ones on Amazon, which makes me wary, and they don't have enough reviews to help.

They won’t be as strong as 100% but will be softer. But cottos soft if tumbled.
