That's interesting I am just about to replace my towels and to be honest never heard of these before. Will do a little research why are you considering them please. I need to "feel" my towels so will be a hands on buyer.

Opps in response to the original question T towels here I like getting them when on holiday or as a gift when people away memories when on the line. Also paper towels for a quick wipe up of a spill. Hand towel as well for drying hands; only me here so all good.

Same with me here. I use most T towels for everyday use of drying dishes, drying my hands off, etc. The paper towels come in handy when spills happen or if I don't want the debri on a cotton towel.

It is only myself in the home, so no cross bacteria on hand towels or bath towels.

I thought I might try a sample batch because the bamboo is claimed to be more sustainable, but how to prove that, I have no idea. My bamboo based socks feel no different to my previous cotton-wool-elastane blend, so maybe underwear next as an idea.
My link explains 6 benefits of bamboo for towelling.

Re: Cloth or Paper towels ?

I have a dishwasher and tea towels are kept to a minimum. I use paper towels for my hands and spills. Worktops - I go over every day with anti-bac cleaner and a damp cloth (cloth gets washed and dried). The tea towels I use are similar to Megs
