This towel has a lot to offer the beach goer, as it's big and comfortable to lay on for a long period of time.

The material is 100% cotton and is pretty soft, especially on the front. The back is a little less soft and will be scratchier to lay on. The front features a graphic for Edenfantasys that looks something like a science experiment. I love the "get some" saying at the very bottom.

The towel does shed a little over time, but it isn't an awful lot and you won't have any bald patches in your towel or anything. It just tends to leave slightly black markings on you like a new shirt that hasn't been washed and you wear it. Maybe I'm the only person who wears my shirts right out of the store, but I tend to like new store smell. To the point, it isn't such a cheap towel that it's just going to shed and shed and put you in lint heaven. After a few washes, the shedding should stop.

We've used this as a beach towel and were really happy with how big it was. It was almost big enough for my partner and I to both lay on, and definitely big enough for one person sitting up and to put food in front of them, or for someone to sit in front of them.

The only down side to this product is that it doesn't absorb an awful lot of water, but it does get the job done. We forgot to bring a plastic bag to the beach and used the towel as a bag of sorts to put all of our wet clothes in and it did a great job of holding them. Firstly, because it's so big, and secondly, because it isn't the worst absorbent towel in the world. I've had much worse and it did the job well until we could make it home and dry our clothes.

The best part about the entire towel is the design, it's true, and the rest isn't all that glorious. However, if you like the Edenfantasys tshirt, you'll probably like this, too.
