If you've ever been not-dry, you need to take a look at these!
Promising review: "I've got two of these towels. I've had them a long time, and have washed them many, many times. Apparently, I never did a review for them; I just forgot, I guess. Anyway, I'm about to order another one. They are big, thick, wonderful towels, and I love them!" —Puppy Cat
Price: $16.99+ (for a 35x70-inch towel, available in eight colors)
Promising review: "I took this towel on a two-week trip through Austria and Slovakia, and I'm SO glad I had this thing. It was perfect for what I needed it for, it didn't take up much space, and it dried SUPER quick. If you are a backpacker, or even just a casual traveler, this thing is made for you!" —brandon short
Price: $8.99+ (available in seven colors, and in sizes XS–XXL)
Promising review: "One of my pet peeves is seeing guest towels that look so decorative that guests are reluctant to use them. It's hard to find the perfect combination of attractive and soft. These are the ideal guest towels and worth keeping a fair number of on hand; simply a great combination of form and function!" —Kcorn
Price: $16.99+ (for 11x18-inch towels, available in three colors)
Promising review: "I was attracted to these towels for four reasons: the classic and traditional appearance, the large size, high absorbency (soft cotton), and the promise of low lint. These towels lived up to every promise. I love them, and I think I found my next go-to wedding gift. Every kitchen needs at least one set of high-quality, beautiful dish towels, and these are the best I've ever used." —Fray
Price: $21.99+ (for 20x28-inch towels, available in six colors)
Promising review: "Towels are hard, hard, hard to buy online. You purchase what looks like a great towel for a good price. The towels arrive. You take them out of their package and bam; the towel can't absorb even a drop of water, much less dry a wet body. A friend pointed me to these, and they are the most absorbent towels I've bought in 15 years. Excellent choice!" —Perry Carrison
Price: $6.62+ (for a 30x20-inch towel, available in five colors)

Promising review: "I bought my first Aquis microfiber towels decades ago, for a trip to the Galapagos, and actually still have my two originals. They remain as good today as they were back then, and I don’t wrap my wet hair up in anything but! They go with me wherever I travel and, knock on wood, I've never left one behind or had it mixed up with hotel towels. My hair is less tangled and dries faster when I wrap it in my Aquis straight from the shower. Plus, while it's wrapped, I can easily do makeup without stray hairs ending up in the mascara brush!" —Loves to Travel
Price: $20.99+ (for a 19x39-inch towel, available in eight colors)
This set includes two 30x60 bath sheets, two 16x30 hand towels, and two 13x13 washcloths.
Promising review: "My mother said these are the best towels she's ever had! They're so soft and dry your skin quickly, and it's worth the extra dinero for the upgrade to luxury!" —Shawn Hixenbaugh
Price: $39.95+ (available in five colors)
Promising review: "Here's a few reasons why this product rules: it exfoliates so good; I never gave a crap about exfoliating before, until I used this. After the first time, your skin will feel so smooth you'll realize what you've *apparently* been missing all these years. It allows you to clean your back very easily, and you no longer have to dislocate your arm to reach the middle of your back. Holy cow, this thing is sooooo soap-efficient, and you only need a small amount of soap to lather it up and it STAYS lathered!
I cannot recommend this product enough. If you are on the fence about buying it, just DO IT ALREADY. PUT IT IN YOUR CART! NOW!" —david belanger
Price: $5.99+ (available in two colors, and in a two, three, or five-pack)
"How did I get pizza grease on my left temple, again!?"
Promising review: "I bought these for backpacking use, and they're fantastic. They weigh nothing, and take up about as much space as a chapstick. The self-cleaning aspect comes from their loose weave and nylon material. Nothing can stick to it, essentially, so it doesn't hold a lather well either, but that's a trade-off. The plus side is it dries almost instantly. The little elastic loop on the corner is handy for hanging it out. The coarseness is perfect too, lightly exfoliating for good cleaning, but not at all harsh. Since it was a two-pack, I gave one to my wife, who immediately fell in love with it. She wants one just to wash her face with, every day." —Nick
Price: $8.75+ (available in two colors, and in medium or extra-large sizes)
It has a front pocket, elastic waistband, and four snaps, so you can air-dry in style and comfort!
Promising review: "I love this wrap! I bought it to use after my water aerobics classes. I can slip my swimsuit off and snap this on, then have my hands free to go about washing and packing up, wrapped warmly and modestly in my plush, comfy wrap. All the other women walk around the locker room shivering, trying to hold their towels around them while drying off and packing up. Not me! Also, I get compliments on this all the time. I wear a 26/28 in tops, and the XXXXL fits me well. I machine wash and dry this every week and it has held up really well." —Cecelia F.
Price: $27.99+ (available in four colors, and fits M–XXXXL)
This set was our low-price pick for the best bath towels on BuzzFeed Reviews!
Promising review: "These are really very nice towels. I purchased them for our camper, because of their quick-drying feature, and I'm thinking about getting some for the house. They are reasonably priced and a good size; I initially bought two sets, then came back and purchased four more sets!" —Julia
Price: $19.36+ (available in eight colors, and in different towel variations)
