Large Beach Towels
You are going on holiday. You are going somewhere hot and where there is a beautiful sea. Do you take small or large beach towels? There are advantages to both and we will go through these now. Once you have all the facts you should be in a position to make the right decision. The biggest benefit of large beach towels is the ability to cover sun beds. How many times have you got to a sun bed wanting the stretch out and relax only for it to be too big for the towel? Frustrating isn’t it? All you want to do is relax but when you are fully stretched out your feet are touching the burning hot surface. That is something that none of us want.

"I wanted a fun towel for a trip to the beach this summer and these fun turtles caught my eye when I searched.The fabric is soft (even more now that I've washed it) and the stitching is pretty.The colors are great.I'm sure I'll enjoy this towel for a long time.

"This hook, as described, is a plastic hook that looks sortof like metal. It sticks to the wall quite nicely and is currently holding a towel in my bathroom. It shows no signs of not holding the towel, and rarely complains about having to hold the towel. " – GregP

Customer Reviews:
"I bought this for my aged Mom after she confessed that the big plush expensive terry towel I'd bought her was just too heavy for her to handle.She *adores* the microfiber towels I got her!They are light for her weak arms, they are so very absorbent that one or two passes gets her dry and that's particularly important with the delicate skin of the elderly.Not to mention that I, a hearty creature in my prime, love these towels too! I shall be buying more of various styles and colors. " – Colonel Jenna

"Nice soft towel. The color and softness has stayed and have had this about 6 months now. I have a lbp fan who wants to use this as much as possible so it gets washed alot! " – J. Marcillo
Customer Reviews:
"Simple review...cleaning an HDTV is hit and miss with standard cleaners. This stuff works great. Especiallyif you're your a smoker (lay off, I'm trying to quit). The microfiber towel is 15 by 15 inches unlike the other ones that are just to small and you buy a 6 pack on Amazon for ten bucks. Used it once and it was like my HDTV was brand new. For the price, highly recommend. " – G. Cancilla

"why do pet stores not carry this and other useful dog/car products?this is a great replacement for my beach towel that i've been using as a seat cover.my dog is primarily my only passenger, but i don't see removal and installation of this to be too much of a hassle.my only complaint is that it's slippery and my dog slips around while sitting or standing up and he's a large dog.if you have small dogs or an elderly dog with arthritis, i don't recommend this product due to possible slipping/falling during turns and breaking.numerous times my dog has slid forward and headbutted me while breaking.i now have a barrier to prevent that. " – JaneSmith "12345"
Customer Reviews:
"Took almost 7 days to ship out. After getting the towel, I am possibly one of the few who's not too impressed with it. First of all it is, in my opinion too plush; which causes drag when I am drying my car. I don't know if that is due to the fact that my car has a great wax applied; therefore majority of the water sheets off.
So this size towel may be too much for my job. I guess I'll stick with the regular terry towel, but finish with the smaller, shorter weaved micro. That works the best, at removing the rest of the water, water spots, streaks, and lint.
UPDATE: April1, 2012....It works better as the towel gets more use. I am pleased with it. Most of the time 2 back to back swipes with the towel, the car is dry in that area. Cuts wiping down time to about 4 min, on a mid sized car. Actually I need to buy another towel " – I. GLENN

"Great beach towels. Thick and large as descibed. Should get several years of use since we use them all the time living at the beach. " – coltmommy
Customer Reviews:
"I have this and the large size. The large size is about the size o a normal bath towel and the extra large an oversized oned. Both work great. They are very thin and fold up to only take up maybe 20% of the space of an ordinary towel, if even that. They will dry you off as quickly as a normal towel, they just won't warm you. They dry out very quickly both hung dry and in the dryer.
Edit: 6 months later and these are holding up well. I have two that I personally use and they are getting washed after every two uses. They look the same as the day I received them. After switching the whole house to these, I have noticed a big difference in the dryer times and gas I am using. Would still recommend. " – D. MCKICHAN
Having said that though, how many of you have actually seen a beach towel cover the entire sun bed? Unless you have extra large beach towels this is unlikely to happen. Perhaps a better option would be to take two smaller sizes as this would be more flexible.
What about the price of the towels? Bigger ones do often come at a higher price. This can be frustrating but it is a fact. If the cost is a problem then you should initially look at a standard or a smaller one. You should be able to find these in many stores.

"The command strips are amazing. This hook will support 7 pounds. We use ours to hand up coats on the door. I've never had one leave a mark on my walls or doors. We use them to hang stuff in the bathroom and decorations outside too. The elements don't seem to effect them.
Because this one can support so much weight, we mounted it on a door. I'm not sure I'd trust drywall or the paint to support that kind of weight.
Make sure you follow the directions. The surface should be clean and dry.
These are great for apartments and dorms. I highly recommend them. " – Derak
Customer Reviews:
"I have several in my car, sports, beach and gym bags.
The Fabric:
* Lisse Crepe -- their original towel.
* Texture: very short pile, no visible loops.
* Slightly clingy, when drying yourself.
* A little static in the dryer (but not as much as their microfibre "terry" version)
* Very absorbent and lightweight.
* Comes in many colours and sizes.
Unlike other membrane/spongy camping/outdoor towels:
* You CAN throw this is in the dryer.
* Feels closest to a real towel.
* XL size covers up more for modesty.
Sizes and uses:
*Size XL is best as a bath towel, b/c you can coverup.
*Size L was the original hair/gym towel size -- longer and narrower.Good for a small child.
*Size M is good as a Hand Towel for when you have people over.It gets damp but not soggy and will still do its job of drying hands. " – TCL

"My computer screens are constantly collecting dust.This product does a great job of cleaning the screens without risk of damage. " – J. Semple
You may also want to think about the colour of your towels that you take. This isn’t just about fashion (although you may want to pick your favourite colour). You want a colour that is practical, one that won’t attract the bees and a darker colour to help stop it looking shabby.
Whatever decision you need to weigh up what we have already discussed against that feeling of wrapping yourself in one of those soft large beach towels. Enjoy your holiday!
