I am not sure about previous reviews... I have been using these towels since July (it is October) very lightly. First day I got it there was red stuff falling off throughout my room, and I didn't mind it because it was new so then I had washed it a few times and now its falling apart. Threads are coming off, covered my room in red thread balls, turned my other towels red, when I use this in the shower I come out covered red.Please look for better towels even it is $5-10 more expensive. I gave it 2 stars because it's cheap and you get a lot of junk.Thanks
