I bought this towel in the pink and white option and got it monogrammed to use as a pool/beach towel. I am so glad I purchased it! This towel is very large and a great size for laying out on. Also, the material is quite thick and nice. There is nothing I hate more than laying out on a thin, flimsy towel, so this one is great! The color is also very vibrant and pretty. I will probably be buying another one down the road...
