I tried Onsen towels for one month. Here are the five things that blew me away.

What I found

Five reasons I’m not going back, and I’m not the only one.

Reason 01

They’re dry before you need them again.

The waffle weave dries 2x faster because there’s more open space for the water to evaporate. Mine were dry by lunchtime (after just hanging in a bathroom with no window).

★★★★★

“Hung it up at 7am, bone dry by the time I got home. I didn’t think that was a thing towels did.”

Reason 02
Zero damp towel smell. Ever.

That gym-bag smell is from bacteria in a towel that never fully dries. Thirty days in, I never noticed a single smell from any of my towels once.

★★★★★

“Two kids, one small bathroom, no window. These are the first towels that don’t go sour by Wednesday.”

Reason 03

They soak up more water and weigh less.

The honeycomb pockets soak up water better. They’re lighter than the towels they replaced, and they try WAY faster, too.

★★★★★

“Half the bulk of my old bath sheets and somehow it dries my hair faster. Makes no sense. Love it.”

Reason 04

Dozen washes in & they still look good as new.

Supima cotton is up to 45% stronger than the standard stuff. I didn’t notice any pilling, frayed hems, or thin patches at the folds.

★★★★★

“Going on two years with the first set. They’ve softened up but nothing has frayed or thinned out.”

Reason 05

One bundle took care of my entire bathroom.

I got their 6-piece bundle: two bath towels, two hand towels, and two face towels. This is the only way I’ll ever buy towels again.

★★★★★
“Bought the bundle for the guest bath and immediately ordered a second one for ours.”

The verdict

I already bought the second set. That’s the whole verdict.
