Do not buy these towels!  I'll say it again:  Do not buy these towels.  The only positive about them is that they are very absorbent.  Here's why I do not like them:  (1) they are very thin and (2) I have washed them 3 times in hopes of getting rid of the lint.  There is still lint on my body after using them in the shower and hand washing.  Because I have washed them in the hopes of improving this extreme lint situation, I am unable to return them.  My only remedy is to tell everyone to Not Buy These Towels!  Maybe I should have known they would be horrible because of the low price.  However, I read the reviews and none mentioned this horrible lint problem.  I purchased the purple color.  Now imagine having purple lint all over your body after a shower or on your face after washing.  Grrrr.
