I was taken in by the Home Shopping Network. When I first saw the Tan Towels demonstrated on HSN I thought to myself - yeah, right. But that's what happens with HSN. At first you think the product is useless, but you watch those happy big-haired women for awhile and they get you! This has happened to me more times than I would like to admit. The thing that got me was the leg test. You know,...

One thing I hate is getting out of the shower, drying off with a towel, only to have your hair still dripping down your body.  I also hate having to have 2 big towels right beside the tub & having to struggle to wrap a huge bath towel around my head so that it will stay.So, when I found these twisty towels at Bed Bath & Beyond, I was super-excited.  They come in a pack of 2 an...

Doing laundry is one of my least favorite chores. I found most of the time the pile was made up of  towels that I was washing every day. I asked my family to use a towel at least twice before throwing them in the laundry pile but I was met with grumbles about having to use wet smelly towels.I was looking through a Linen's & Thing's ad one day and saw the Warmrails Premier&...

Our kids each received an LL Bean Camp Critter towel for Christmas last year.  I thought it was such a creative and cute gift I plan on purchasing one as a gift in the future. The towels are very large (53 by 27 inches) and you can wrap up a small child with ease (they recommend this for ages up to 8 years).  Each towel has a hood that looks like an animal, and a matching fuzzy tail a...

When I recently purchased a new swimsuit, I realized that I also needed a new beach towel. I don't think I've bought one in years. So nearby the bathing suits in Bealls, I noticed a rack of really nice beach towels. I loved the bright solid colors, and chose one to match my new black and aqua swimsuit. Embossed in the fabric are aqua flowers the same color as the towel. Beach towels, or...

While looking for some decent inexpensive towels I picked up a set of Fieldcrest Classic Towels at Target. They were a big disappointment.The towel I am reviewing is a Fieldcrest Classic 30" by 58" 100% cotton bath towel made in India. The color is oil green.  I guess the name should have warned me that these towels would be better suited as oil absorbers in a car repair shop rat...

I guess that I was always of the opinion, that the best paper towel was always the cheapest one. (I mean paper towels are just paper towels, right?) WRONG!!!! Kleenex Viva Paper Towels are in a class by themselves. I have never used a paper towel that was so impressive. Since my husband usually mass orders paper towels and toilet tissue for his law office, he would often bring home paper towels...

With an indoor dog, I'm always cleaning messes. Whenever possible, I use old towels and washcloths, but those aren't always the best option for me. I used to keep a towel handy in the kitchen for wiping our clean hands, but I've now given up on that. My husband is a dog person. He prefers dogs to most people, so he isn't bothered by dog hair or slobber. He can play with the...

The Turbie Twist is an ingenious product. Any woman with medium to long hair should have one. The ads tout that the Turbie Twist is extra absorbent and therefore helps to dry your hair faster after washing. I haven't noticed that this towel is any more absorbent than any other towel. As far as I can tell it is made of the same cotton  terry cloth fabric as all the other towels in my ba...

It is very difficult to find bath towels that still look nice after a few washings. Oh sure, they all look nice in the store, don't they? It's usually that first trip to the washing machine that unravels the truth and sends some new towel owners back to the store for a refund. One day while at Bed Bath & Beyond, I found towels that claim to be organic.  I didn...

Few things are cheap anymore, as our present economy attests to.  Still, I am always looking for more ways to save my household money, which is why I tend to look for bargains.  We use paper towels a lot in our home, for cleaning up spills and other messes.  Even paper towels can be priced higher nowadays, so I was pretty glad to find "Kroger Value Pack Paper Towels" on...

This is another product that we picked up this past week for my nephew to have in his barracks. He had to supply his room with everything but the bed.He chose the Mainstays Home brand, which is through Wal-Mart, they are all 100% ring spun cotton loops, much like a tighter terry cloth. He had to get solid white due to him being in the navy, but they had so many colors and patterns to chose from...

My girlfriend and I were shopping in B.J.'S Warehouse and in need of paper towels. They had the Bounty basic which quite frankly is a piece of junk good only to throw away to be honest with all of you. They had also the Bounty regular which is ok. The one we purchased (the Bounty extra soft ) in our opinion is the better of the three. It has done pretty well picking up spills and in va...

I used to think all paper towels were basically the same and would always buy the cheapest brand. Boy, was I wrong!! I have never even heard of these paper towels until I happened to see them at Lowes. They are actually called Shop Towels. They are $2.17 a roll and worth every penny. They are very durable. They last twice as long because you do not have to use so many of them. There are 55 shee...

As a big fan of anything by Patience Brewster, I had so much fun picking out this towel. Her towel line features many of the same characters as her cards. At Christmas, the towels on display were so much fun to look at and so hard to choose from. I wanted almost all of them. But, I'm not rich, so I had to decide.A few friends and I exchange gifts by mail every Christmas. We don't spend ...

There are very few things that I won't compromise on, and one of them is the brand of paper towels that I buy.  I've tried numerous different brands in the past, but nothing has proven as strong and useful as Bounty paper towels. Around the house I use them on a daily basis for tasks such as washing and drying dishes, cleaning our counter tops, washing windows, and much more. ...

I went through a major "cow phase" a year or so ago and this is one of the products I purchased for my kitchen. This is a wooden paper towel holder that is hand painted. It is an adorable cow shapped design, painted black and white, of course. She even wears a bell around her neck. So cute!This paper towel holder is designed to sit on your counter top. I would definitely prefer if it ...

I thought I had used good towels before, but these towels are truly luxurious. I bought bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. I purchased mine in the store, but there is a wider range of colors online. The colors are actually arranged in color collections. The collections contain four variations of the same color. For example, the collection from which I made my selection was the Laven...

Viva Paper Towels is a great paper towel to have around the house. Its very durable and cleans up spills very well. Its very absorbent and durable so it doesn't tear easily and you can go rinse it and clean up another spill where with other paper towels you would have to get a new one. They come in different size packs, you can get them separately or in six packs. They are more expensive th...

I received my first set of Royal Velvet bath towels as a gift and I was impressed the moment I opened the package.  What I loved the most was the color, black!  I have an almost gothic-looking bathroom in deep burgandy and black with wrought iron decor and the towels went with it perfectly.  I didn't even know they made black towels, I certainly have never seen them at T...
