Utopia Towels, Salon Towel, Pack of 24, Not Bleach Proof, 16 by 27 Inches, Highly Absorbent Cotton Towels for Hand, Gym, Beauty, Spa, and Home Hair Care, White

I’m quite satisfied, and would recommend these for anyone needing good gym towels. I can’t comment on their durability if twisted, squeezed or stretched. I use them only to frequently pat perspiration from my head and leather headphones. After arriving home, my towel gets hung to dry out, rather than tossed into a hamper while still damp.I noticed several people here complaining about their towels unraveling and such. That made me a bit apprehensive, but the price for two dozen was too reasonable to not try, even if one or two were defective. All the new towels washed and dried just fine. Soft and fluffy, too. There was considerable lint in the dryer filter, but that’s common with any new cotton towels.I like that they’re a bit larger than other gym towels I’ve owned over the years. These aren’t super high-quality, but they’re very reasonably priced; especially if you order 24. They’re nice gym towels, and absorb perspiration well. I buy only 100% cotton towels, mainly because they are the most absorbent. My typical workout is 90 minutes to 2 hours, so I sweat quite a bit every time.As for being safe to use with chlorine bleach, I never use the stuff in the washing machine. Nor fabric softener, either. Fabric softener is bad for any towel, and I’ve never understood the need for bleach. They may get a bit off-white with time, but that doesn’t matter to me. As for bacteria growing on them, I’ve never worried about that either. After all, I’m not running a hospital; I just go to the gym. I do wash in warm water, since body oils dissolve above 100°F. I don’t wash anything in scalding hot water though. As I said, I’m not running a hospital!
