During our wedding shower, my husband and I were given a set of bath towels. The towels matched our bathroom theme perfectly but through the years, daily use and weekly washes they have started to fade, and a few are lighter then others. They don't absorb water as much as they used to and I usually have to use a couple towels when I was the boys instead of just one. When I had the opportunity to review a product from The Ultimate Green Store, a new towel set was on the top of my list.

About The Ultimate Green Store:  
We carry products from many of the world’s leading manufacturers and designers of sustainable, natural, organic, recycled, eco-friendly goods- products that are made with your health and the health of our planet in mind. Many of these companies are amongst the most socially responsible companies around. We also carry some green products made by companies that did not start out with environmental concerns in mind, but now realize the importance of sustainable practices and production in launching green lines within their category. 
 

Our bathroom is pink with a purple floral theme so I chose the Bamboo Towel Set in Purple which includes 1 Wash Cloth, 1 Hand Towel, and 1 Bath Towel.

Features: 
  • Made with 100% Viscose from Bamboo
  • Low Impact, Environmentally-Friendly Dyes
  • Plush and sturdy
  • Hypo-allergenic
  • Wash Cloth - 13" x 13"
  • Hand Towel - 15" x 30"*
  • Bath Towel - 30" x 56'
The towels are very soft and thin, but don't let the thinness fool you. Since they were a lot thinner then our previous set I didn't think they'd absorb water too well, but I was wrong. As soon as the towels touch skin they instantly absorbed the water, I didn't have to pat myself or the kids down more then once, the towels absorbed the water on the first try.


I never thought I'd have to fight over this set with my husband, you will never see him in anything pink or purple so I figured if I got a girlie purple color he would never use it but boy was I wrong. He loves how soft and absorbing the towels are and doesn't care that it is purple, I'm sure if it was pink we'd be fighting over it also due to the great quality. I'd love to purchase another set, but the only downfall is this set is pricey compared to the towels we normally purchase, it is $59.95 for the set, and with a family of four I would need at least two more sets.

Buy It: You can purchase the Bamboo Towel Set for $59.95 from The Ultimate Green Store, you can choose from 14 different colors.
