How many times do I have to wash this f***ing bath towel b4 I can use it??

I swear, it's been through 10 washes and dries and the f***er STILL sheds! AAAAAAAAAAA

Does somebody have some grandmotherly or "Queer Eye" advice for me???

It'll still be shedding 2 years from now, no matter what you do.

they are the best, and I haven't noticed any shedding. What I hate are towels whose trim shrinks so the towel is a really wierd shape and no longer foldable.

But they are, in fact, JCPenney towels. Still shedding.

anymore if you buy good towels or cheapos...they shed, they bunch, they lose color, the borders come off...

I think they're made that way on purpose so you have to keep buying towels.

Funny you should mention that! As I was hanging my favorite bath towel on the shower curtin bar

to dry I got to thinking about that old ragged towel. It has character, that old towel.

It is thread bare, stringy on both ends. One would not want a visitor to see that towel hanging in your bath room.

It started out as a white fluffy regular normal looking towel. As it wore down it became a rag, sometimes served as a draft reflector

At the bottom of the leaky door. Dr. Pushkin our German Shepherd slept on it now and then. The grand kids drug it here and there. It

served as a doormat. Many a friendly visitor wiped their messy shoes on that old towel. One time I took my son to pick up a used

transmission for his car. We set the trannie on that old towel to catch leaking oil. The oil stained towel rode around in the trunk of

my car for a year or so. Some how the towel got washed up in the washing machine. I used it to stand on after a bath, while I fried

off with a snappy new towel. So I got to thinking about all these things. My old towel comforts me with happy memories.

Guess I will keep using it. If you come to visit I will hide it so that you won't be embarrassed for me.

Boy this did not print out right at all..

They are easier to use than those overly fluffy, thick, hard to get dry in the drier new ones. I will not throw out an old towel unless the thing is too ragged to still call a towel. With an old towel you can dry inside your ears.

could leave a mark! typo alert! :)

correct it, but time had expired!

Yes I dried off.

Hee! Hee!

I use to call my dog Dr Straussman because he looked like him. The Doctor had jet black hair with a white beard.

And because they are burgundy, I can't wash them with anything else. So I have to do a special wash for these towels every time. But they look really great in my bathroom with all the other burgundy decor. :-)

when I was 16 years old....and they are still pink-mine and blue-my sisters...and yellow-my mothers....

No frays..fadded for sure lets see they are about 30 years old now!!!

Made in America vs Made in China? or of course there is the engineered obsolesence also. Like the automobile!?

don't panic.
