I've owned my current collection of bath towels for a really long time, so long that they've lost their original softness and color. They are just fine for my husband and I to use, but if we were to have overnight guests, I wouldn't dare to let them use them.
While a towel may have one job-to get you dry-too many fall short. They slip, they cling, they leave you half-damp, and if you're taller, they barely make it to the top of your thigh. This is where bath sheets enter, stage left: larger by generous inches, softer in all the right ways, and capable of wrapping the whole body without awkward gaps.
