AIBU to want lovely soft towels?

[lookingatthings]

I know iabu to ask here,but traffic and all that. Tell me, where do you get your softer than cloud towels from? DH and I are after some bath time luxury.

i got some Hugo Boss ones fro tkmaxx, so soft and fluffy

Costco.

Absolutely YABU. The scratchy, crispy 70s towels get you so much drier, plus the pain reminds you you're alive.

Yeh you need scratchy towels.How do you get those that’s what I wanna know!

I'm with @ElizabethinherGermanGarden absolutely. My favourite towel is a really thin crispy one from the 70's. I tumble dry most things but never towels. I like to dry quickly with a little exfoliation for free... Fluffy towels don't dry you very well. I think TKMaxx is good for all things bedding and towels though if you don't agree.

Love hard scratchy bath towels, but love soft fluffy hand towels.

Sainsbury's ones are fab.

I thought I was the only one who liked them all crispy! I'm no great fan of summer but I am sad about it ending because I won't be able to get nice rough, line-dried towels for months now.

Tumble dryer makes them all soft and limp. Horrid.

A crisp, crunchy, freshly laundered dry towel is a thing of great beauty. It's crispiness disappears moments after skin contact.

Soft fluffy towels are pointless and of no use to man nor beast.

NEVER use fabric conditioner in a towel wash.

YABU.

Crunchy towels get you dry - a brisk rub after a long hot shower is lovely.

It is a point of disagreement in my house. DH likes soft towels and points out they’re sold soft and fluffy. He does his own laundry.

Thin and slightly abrasive, that's how I like my towels.

Soft towels do not dry you properly. My 2 dds dont like scratchy towels.

Soft towels don't dry you. They just smear the water around. YABU.

I like crispy line dried towels! Soft ones are rubbish!

Loving the crispy towel love on here! I use conditioner, but I line dry. Mmmmmmm.

Crispy towels: no softener, then dry on the line / on a radiator / on an airer. They have to be harsh enough to take off another layer of dead skin after a bath.

I'm a thin scratchy towel lover too but I read that vinegar instead of detergent in the machine will make towels soft. You could try putting some in and see if it fluffs up the towels you've got?

"Zero twist" are the fluffiest
"Hygro" are a particular weave - also very soft
600 gsm - weight is best
I do not like 700 - too heavy and inflexible
550gsm are a little light

i am very fussy about the band detail - do not like deep bands of satin or similar

I'm not sure which camp I should be in now! No softener, and I tumble dry my towels for an hour before finishing drying on the line which gives enough crunch to dry yourself properly but is still soft enough to have skin left on. I've always despised the scratchy line dried towels my parents had back in the 80s .

YABU to say "lovely towels"

DH loves a crispy towel I always thought he's a bit weird
Turns out I must be

Doesn’t it depend on how hard your water is?
