My son never used any of his regular towels the entire swim meet.

Have used this for over 3 months now and absolutely love it. Think "green" less washing, electricity for washing, detergent etc. Household of 5 going through a multiple loads of towel washing.
Keep it fresh smelling by taking it into the shower with you. Also the handy container goes into the shower for a quick rinse! Recommend it hands down!!!

I keep one in the gym bag , and one in the shower at home.

It's deff. better than a normal towel, but if you don't rinse it out after each use it smells really bad.

The towel might be the biggest of its kind but it is still small.  When it dries it is rigid and kind of crunchy.  It functions perfect.  You can dry off quickly, rinse it off, ring it out, roll it up and put it back in it's carrying tube and throw it in your gym bag.  Drying off with it feels weird because your drying off with what feels like a moist peice of plastic.  If it gets too wet you ring it out  dry (2 seconds) and keep toweling off.  Very efficient.  Great for someone who is in and out of the pool repeatedly or that doesn't like carrying around a wet towel.  Other reviews said it smelled funny.  It does smell like a plastic product and the directions said to rinse it clean after you use it.  Mine doesn't smell musty or moldy or anything other than plastic.

I just wish it was as big as a normal towel, but the material is not really condusive to wrapping it around your waist or anything like that.  I still wish it was bigger.

It works, but even after washing still hold bad smells, can you tell how  to fix?  if you know,  please email me.
Thanks
