Review (2/5): Elastic of brand new one vs. one that I've had for several months that I've stitched over to increase tension.
These work well for the first few months or so - but eventually the elastic that holds the twist together becomes loose and doesn't hold as well. There are other similar products on the market that have better design with the elastic (i.e. sewn on 2 ends to the towel as opposed to this which is stitched at a single point). Recommend exploring other options before purchasing this specific design/brand. I've attached a photo to show that I've had to resew the elastic on an older one as compared to a brand new one to exemplify the give it will have after many uses.
