Pure Luxury in a Towel Date: November 17, 2009
"In addition to "thick and thirsty", I'd describe these towels as plush, soft, and great colors!"

Great towels Date: November 14, 2009
"These are truly "thick and thirsty". My only reservation about them is that they are so densely woven, it detracts a bit from their softness. But they dry very well, look nice and have stood up well to several washings and dryings."

"With a tight budget we splurged and are glad we did. These towels are luscious and worth every penny. They are absorbent and the colors are soft and pleasing."

Very disappointing Date: September 17, 2009
"I have absolutely loved every item I've purchased from Gaiam, so when it came time to look for a new set of towels naturally this was my first choice. After reading all the good reviews for this product I decided to purchase a set of Thick & Thirsty Organic Towels. When they arrived I was very happy with the thick, soft texture and luxurious color. However the problems began when I put them in the wash: they pilled and kept pilling. Little bits of lint were left inside of the washing machine, and huge clumps in the dryer. The problem does not go away with repeated washings, as I'd hoped. Every time I use the towels I end up with lint particles in my hair and on my body. These towels are very beautiful so it's a shame that this is happening. I don't know what I could've done differently to prevent this and wish there was somehow I could fix this problem."

Edge of Thick & Thirsty Towel after 5 months use
User submitted photo
"I purchased these towels in April and loved them from the moment I took them out of the box. They are soft, thick and luxurious! We liked them so much, we purchased ten sets of these towels over the next month. It is September, and I've been using these towels for five months. The edges of the towels are beginning to fray and fall apart. They are still soft, and only seem to get softer the more you use and wash them, however, if you want towels that will look nice for more than a few months, I don't recommend them."

These towels ROCK! Date: June 6, 2009
"These towels are simply awesome. Very thick, very absorbent - just as described. The color I selected (taupe) looks slightly different than I imagined and it is no longer offered, so maybe that's why. It came in a package marked "flax" so they may have replaced the taupe with the flax color. It is not a bad color, just not what I would describe as taupe. More butterscotch. Regardless, the towels are wonderful and it's nice not having to sacrifice luxury to go organic. I hope Gaiam will always carry these-I don't want to buy any other kind!"

Luxurious! Date: October 11, 2008
"I got these towels in moss, which happens to coordinate beautifully with the vintage paisley knit sheet set I got recently (I would have gotten towels in mauve if they were available, but the moss is a beautiful shade of green). These towels were thick and soft right out of the shipping box, and they just smelled fresh and clean, not full of chemicals!"

Love'em, but... Date: September 19, 2008
"They are a little pricey, but they are organic, and made well. My only complaint is that I got the color lavender and now I want more and they're not making them in lavender any more. PLEASE put lavender back!!! They are lovely, (and I'm not repainting my bathroom for new towels!!!)"
