I washed these towels 3 times before my guests arrived to stay at my house. They showered immediately and then texted me to bring down different towels for them. They said that these towels shed all over their bodies and they had to hop back into the shower and rinse off all the fuzzies. That is mega disappointing, considering the price and that I purchased 3 of them. I love the size, bath sheets are the way to go. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to stop the shedding from happening again. Might have to toss them, not sure yet.
