If you love really large really soft towels and washcloths...this is the set for you.  If you want any kind of absorbancy out of these DO NOT use fabric softener.  The washcloths are oversized.  For my 6'2" husband the right size and too soft.  For myself (5'0") too large and too soft.  The towels are just the right size for everyone and seem to suit everyone's standard of softness.  But if my description of the washcloths turn you off just go for the towels and/or hand towels.  Those are fine....if, for the love of Pearl, you don't use softener.
