Very pleased with these towels
I wanted to wait until I had used and washed these towels before submitting a review. I had never purchased this type of towel before but I wanted them for two reasons 1) we go camping in an RV and I wanted towels that didn’t take up a lot of room and dried quickly 2) my expensive washer bangs when I put my regular towels in it and I didn’t want to wear out my appliance. The towels arrived very nicely packaged and on the scheduled day stated when ordered. When I took them out I was pleased with their size, thickness and appearance. Upon using them they took just a day or two to get use to, they aren’t as thick as regular towels however they were absorbent enough to get the job done. When I washed them I was very pleased, no banging in my washer and they dried in my drier very fast. After washing they looked as good as when I purchased them, no shrinkage, no pilling, even softer than they were prior to being washed. After I use them after I shower I hang them behind my bathroom door, they look nice but I think they are a little slower to dry than I had hoped due to a lack of air circulation behind the door , not the fault of the towels. They do dry, just not fast, but again I think that’s a location issue and not a towel issue (reason I only took one star off) and by the next day they are perfectly dry and smell fresh and clean. I purchased the matching hand towels once I decided how much I liked these towels. I am very happy with this purchase, I would buy these towels again from this distributor. As a result of the benefits listed above I don’t see myself returning to the former heavier type of towel in the future.

Not as absorbent as expected
It’s a cute towel, but more like a beach spread or light blanket. I read other reviews before buying, and I expected good absorption. Looking back at reviews, I’m copying and pasting someone’s review as it’s exactly my experience:I followed the directions given to “train” the cotton towel to be absorbent. It is not as absorbent as a terrycloth towel. It makes a great beach towel since it dries fast and wraps nicely. Takes up less space in bag. I was hoping to also use it in the bathroom (since it is so soft and nice looking) but it leaves me a bit damp when used indoors: the towel dries the water droplets which is perfect for pool or beach as the sun and air quickly take care of the damp left on skin- but I wouldn’t want to use after shower in the winter when I want to dress immediately afterwards. Love it as a beach towel and small summer travel blanket.

We will be buying more of these
Great towel: nice price, nice looking, lightweight yet highly absorbent. We will be buying more of these.

The best Turkish towel so far
After trying 2 other brands from Amazon (Havuland and Ray Silver) the Demmex is FAR superior! The towels were so soft and cozy right out of the package. I soaked them for 24 hours like the packaging said and then laundered them in cold water, followed by a delicate cycle in the dryer. I have also been looking for Turkish towels that work well for after shower use and these absorbed so much better, compared to the other 2 brands. They feel plush like a traditional towel and absorb on contact – and this was only after one 24-hour soak and one wash! So, they should keep getting softer and more absorbent as I use them. The other towels that I tried (Havuland and Ray Silver) just pushed the water around on my skin and took a long time to absorb, even after soaking and washing multiple times. I think they were a cotton-poly blend, but the Demmex is definitely legit 100% cotton from Turkey and backed up by the certification documentation that comes with each item. I purchased these towels specifically for camping, where I will be using them for showers AND to use at the beach, so they had to work in both situations. (They couldn’t just be decorative sarongs with mediocre absorbency, like so many other Turkish towel brands.) These towels have exceeded my expectations and I already placed an order for more. I plan to use these at home, for camping and the beach, because they truly work for all situations. So glad I decided to go with this brand because I am beyond happy with my purchase and would absolutely recommend to anyone else looking for high-quality Turkish towels.

Parfait bonne qualité jolie couleur et assez grand

For years I have struggled to find soft ‘conventional’ cotton towels. It seems to make no difference whether they are expensive or cheap – whether they claim to be Egyptian cotton or bamboo – they all end up the same after 6 months or so – scratchy and stiff. Not so with these beautiful Demmex Turkish towels. I made my initial purchases in December 2020 and January 2021, and I have intentionally waited this long time to post my review fearing they would end up hard and scratchy. They absolutely have not! They have been washed numerous times – and line dried in the shade – and they are still beautifully soft and gentle on my skin. I purchased towels and hand towels. I can recommend them 100% and will never go back to the ‘conventional’ towels.
