I plan on doing limited long term results will be posted in the same thread... just need time and a lot of washes to see how they hold up. My dad is still using old bath towels for drying, so I might give him some to help s
If I have time, I plan on doing something similar... just have to figure out the methodology and be able to reasonable repeat the results.
I will do my best. Absorbancy is hard to test repeatably, especially over time since I can almost guarantee I will use the towels I prefer the most more than the others. I will simply not have time to continuously document the towels past the initial review. With a 2 1/2 yr old daughter and another daughter due in early Nov. my home life will be crazy busy, plus maintaining our 4.5-acre property... hell I already put in 60-80 hours on any given week at work.
- See my recent post with all of the data I have in the spreadsheet I`ve put together, it goes over the cost factor too. (I put that together because I`m a cheap a** and I want to know what gives the best bang for the buck. I`m ignoring all marketing as that`s part of my background in Sales & Public Relations - I know how marketing and sales techniques can influence the overall public`s view of a product. I`m going to post pictures and a video using "hopefully" the same spots for each towel. I will reduce the variables as much as reasonably possible.
I have already noted of some very striking similarities between some very popular towels and lesser-known competitors towels. These similarities may just be on looks or size.. or they could be the same towel, rebranded... the test will hopefully show if there is a difference. One towel is so close I had to write the initials on the edge materials so I could tell them apart.
Once the forum has the results, it`s each members opinion on how to interpret my results on what towels they purchase.
