I have always adorned bath sheets so when I seen the tremendous drop in price, I had to throw several in my cart.  I got five, one for each of my family members and myself.  I mean I couldn't spoil just myself and my mate without spoiling the children as well, what kind of mother would I be?  They are HUGE and soft to the touch.  I haven't experienced the shedding as other reviews, but I still can't complain for the price I received them at.
