Microfiber Towels or just regular bath towels - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Tiger's Mom · 10-05-2007, 03:14 AM

I had posted on another thread about carrying embroidered towels and someone made a suggestion to carry microfiber towels . . . . well, I want to get some feedback on whether I should carry this, or just regular towels or both. I found a wonderful source of microfiber towels and so got a few to take back home . . . . . .

Has anyone tried this type of material and what do you think about it????? I did not buy much as I wanted to make sure there is a demand for them . . . I'd hate to post it on my website if there is very little demand for it. So let me know if I need to get more I will try to make it available in time for the GE . . . . if anyone else is interested

Thought I'd show a sample design to be used on these towels . . and see what you think as well . . .I will have 2 more other designs to chose from - coming soon (sorry the artwork is blurry - the jpeg file is acting up and so had to switch to gif format )

Love this!

I would def buy some large size micro-fiber tub time towels.

How much will they be and how big?

Superstarkba · 10-05-2007, 05:39 AM

I would buy either one, doesn't matter to me! How much will they be?

Oh Des! You know I love the artwork!

I'm would use the microfiber or regular towels....I don't have a particular preference.

Sukoshi's Mom · 10-05-2007, 08:03 AM

LOL! Well Des! You know I'm voting for Microfiber since I'm the one that made the suggestion, but you're right that everyone will have their own preference! And you also already know that I LOVE the artwork, since we've been in contact about that too, and I've already placed my order for the pink and yellow

. But...I wanted to officially post it here, so you could tally my vote officially

I bought a microfiber towel to use on Bogey after his bath. I've used it twice & think it's great. It does dry quicker & isn't as bulky as a huge bath towel.

I paid about $13 for it at Petsmart.

Micro fiber = WIN!!!!!

nvnvgirl · 10-05-2007, 08:43 AM

I'd use a microfiber towel. I never thought about using them before, but it makes sense since they're so much less bulky than regular towels. I have a bunch of them just for dusting my piano and it never even occurred to me that they could be used for drying Max (well, mine are small, so they couldn't, but I mean the material itself)! I like the design with the name on it too; it's really cute! I say go for it!

Des, I love the designs on the towels, but if Microfiber is what I'm thinking of, sorry everyone, but I don't really like them.

I bought what I thought was a Microfiber bath towel for dogs from the LTD Catalogue a little while ago. After I washed them, it was like every time I touched them with my rough hands, they would catch/pull and I didn't think they dried or absorbed any better than normal towels.

Sorry everyone, maybe the quality of the LTD towel was not up to par. But I would really, really buy the regular towels from you, Des, with the embroidery on them.

Des, love, love the art work.

I'd like either. The design is adorable.

This has been my experience as well. Sorry. I think I'd rather have regular towels too.

I personally like regular towels. . i have a microfiber that i use for my hair, but for Layla i like plush and big

Hokule'a · 10-05-2007, 04:47 PM

I prefer regular towels also

BubblPopElectrc · 10-05-2007, 09:26 PM

Regular towels for me too.

I never found microfiber to work that well, personally.
