I find it challenging to dry off with a thicker towel after taking a shower since I have arthritis in my hands. I Have been seeking for a soft, absorbent towel that is lightweight. I am done for now. Before spending money on a bath towel, I initially got hand towels. These towels look lovely hanging on my lovely warming towel rack, are absorbent, and best of all, are lightweight and reasonably priced. I want to acquire more of these for my guest bathroom and would repurchase them.
