Non fluffy towels?

Not sure if this is the right board but can anyone recommend some thin scratch towels (bath sheets)?
I can't abide thick fluffy towels and my 25 year old ones have finally given up the ghost!

IKEA used to have thinner towels
Otherwise Turkish Hannann towels, or microfibre travel towels might work

I'm with you on hating fluffy soft towels. I like mine baked on the line in summer with no conditioner.

Sainsbury's are ok, just don't treat them too well Wink

Get towels second hand from eBay. They have lost their fluffiness but are often still in excellent condition especially if you look out expensive brands.

I love a towel stiff with sunshine.

I second hannann towels. But, they do seem to get softer to the touch over time.

Ikea have some nice thin ones.

Thank you - I always thought Hannann towels were soft rather than scratchy? More like a waffle tea cloth than a woven loop towel? Have I been looking at the wrong things?!
Will definitely look in ikea and sainsbury.

Beach towels?

You need these OP www.notonthehighstreet.com/linenme/product/linen-washed-waffle-bath-towel-set?referredBy=search

I too hate fluffy, thick towels. These linen ones are great. Need to get the waffle ones as the flat ones aren't so absorbent. We love these.

@sorryiasked
Would you link or tell me which IKEA towels you bought? DH desperately needs new towels and really wants something non fluffy.

sorryiasked · 26/01/2022 07:13

@Trumpton I bought these and these as they were both in the sale.
Both good but I'd go for the foskan as slightly more substantial and a bit bigger.
