Microfibre Swimming Ladies Beach Towel

Not yet tested but looks the part. A beautiful gift.

I bought this because I go to Aquafit twice a week. The towel takes up very little space, it's large enough to wrap round me, and it does the primary job of a towel (getting me dry) just as well as a thicker one does. However, it does not do the secondary job of a swimming towel, which is to stop my swimming costume from oozing water into my swimming bag on the journey home. My thick beach towel was very good at this, but the microfibre towel is dripping wet within minutes of wrapping it around my swimming costume. It then takes ages to dry off when I hang it on the line. I've had to start taking a plastic bag for my wet things. So, this is a good towel for travelling or gym use, but it's not very good for trips to the swimming pool.

I've so far only used this towel once after swimming. Its advantage is that it is lightweight so doesn't weigh down my sports bag. However I didn't find it very effective in drying myself. I will persevere and hope that after washing it it will improve.

I purchased 4 of these, when they were delivered I was shocked that they were so thin but they’re microfibres so should dry a lot quicker (I haven’t used yet) but this is an advantage as they’re so light and fold really small so great for luggage and storing, brilliant pattern lovely colour has a nice soft feel
