Is the Guethary towel soft enough for sensitive skin?

Most owners describe it as soft Pima cotton with a plush finish. A few say it feels slightly stiff until the first few washes.

How does it compare with cheaper cotton towels?

It uses Pima cotton, which is generally softer and more durable than standard terry. The trade-off is slower drying and a heavier feel.

Owners generally report minimal shrinkage when washed cold and tumble-dried low. Hot water and high heat can shrink cotton towels.

It is sold in a small range of solid colorways with the Lacoste crocodile logo. Availability varies by retailer.

It works for both, but the slower drying makes it better suited to a bathroom with good ventilation or a towel rail.
