Brand new towels are no good; they need at least 2, preferably 3 runs in the washing machine at 60 degrees, 90 for white, before they reach their optimal absorption level.

I sometimes buy a load when I’m in the UK as I still haven’t found any better; wash them a couple of times before use just to soften the fabric and they’ll last for many more years than they remain fashionable. I’ve still got one that’s 25 years old and use it as a scruffy towel at the rugby club.
Snore zzzzz…

Don't panic. Things are bad, but pan-galactic hitch-hiking isn't the answer.

best ones i've found are the cheapo supermarket towels, they always seem to be more absorbant... probably because they haven't been treated to fluff them up and look prettier
