Good advice MT, will think about microfibres for the beach and my hair. The Boy has a bit of excema, would a microfibre towel be a problem for that or is the 'patting dry' technique actually better than rubbing with a fluffy towel ? Actually it doesn't matter - he won't use anything except his Buzz Lightyear hooded one anyway !

Hi Alison, I use a microfibre turban for my hair, and my daughters, they are excellent, really make our dry quicker.

If you invest in the good towels like the lifeventure ones then they are great. They also have an anti bacterial coating to stop them smelling if not washed. The QVC ones will allways dissapoint in comparrison. They do dry in a quarter of the time of a conventional cotton towel.

NEWBS

Lidl have them on a regualr basis. Handtowels and proper towels. The'te fantastic.

I also ahve the Lifeadventure ones but paid over £20 for one, and with lidl I got 6-8 for the same price.

I bought a couple from ebay and they were brilliant, tried first time last weekend, you canf eel it "sucking" the water off you!

I got one of those superplush microfibre ones last year on ebay mainly for my youngest because when ever we are on a site with a swimming pool he goes in about two or three times a day.Its virtualy impossible to get a regular towel to dry quick enough and in the past he has got through a fair few.This way he has one nice thick fluffy plush one that weighs very little and dries really quick.It looks and feels soft just like a regular towel and its a nice boyish navy blue colour,always try to avoid light colours for holiday use.

Also nothing sticks to it,with the other ones we have had in the past if they get dropped on grass every blade of loose grass gets caught up in them and you have to sit and pick them out one at a time.A real bind.

Are these micro towels affected much by suntan lotion - ie. if they're used on the beach / pool then they'll be some left on your body ?
