Very cute! At first I tried rubbing them between both hands and wasn't thrilled. Once I started holding it in one hand to dry off the other one they worked great! What "cinched the deal" is how my hands feel afterwards. I have horribly dry skin and always needed to put lotion on my hands after washing or they'd hurt. This product doesn't dry my hands out at all! At 1st I wasn't sure if they were dried completely but they were, they just don't have moisture stripped away like a han towel does. Best of all, no lotion is needed even between washes! I don't dread the whole"wash, lotion, still sore hands" process, no more hand towels for me!Got caught in a vortex of Asian "smart home" cleaning videos, and jewelry seeing these chenille hand towels.Did I need hand towels? No. Got them anyway.They are super soft, very absorbent, and dry your hands really fast.They do shed a little, so I plan to hand wash as directed.You don't need this product, but you will appreciate it!I love these. The only thing I would change is they way you can hang them. I would like them to fit in the towel rack. Also I would other the bigger ones. They also have ones for kids that are great.These make better wall decorations than hand towels. They are not very absorbent and the one time I washed them on a gentle cycle, one started to unravel slightly. I kept them to hang on the bathroom wall because they look cute. Do yourself a favor and just use a towel.
