The thick and cozy Demmex is so versatile that you could use it to dry yourself off in the morning and then as a scarf for an afternoon outing. The many color options are sure to help compliment any outfit, and the thick tassels and beautiful diamond design are eye-catching. The dense weave makes for a very absorbent towel &mdash; unlike some of the thinner towels in our test suite, you definitely won't need more than one to get good and dry after swimming in the lake or taking a shower. A common trait with Turkish towels is that they increase in softness with use, and the Demmex is no exception. After multiple washes and many uses, we fell more and more in love with it.  
Because this towel is on the thicker side, it takes a bit longer to dry. That being said, the extra fabric allows it to absorb more liquid at once. As far as aesthetics, we absolutely adore the color options and traditional diamond weave patterns, but there's only one pattern available. The Demmex is best for someone looking for top quality and versatility in a traditional pattern.

Sometimes, it can be disappointing to find out that the coolest-looking product falls short in performance, but we were happy to discover that this was not the case with the Smyrna Original Turkish set. Not only will these towels spruce up your bathroom's aesthetics, but they also ranked highest in our side-by-side tests. The Smyrna hand towel is absorbent, quick-drying, and soft. We loved the unique weave of these towels, which provides texture that dries hands quickly and soaks up water. They add a little flair to bathrooms and even kitchens while being soft, smooth, and durable. Right out of the box, we found them to be soft, without any strange smells or break-in period, which is an added plus. 
It's hard to find any complaints about these stunners. From their design to their texture to their drying speed, the Smyrna Originals impressed. The only aspect of these towels that may be a concern is the durability of the tassels and the fact that they only come in a set of two. Some of the other options we compared are available in packs of up to 24. If you need a higher quantity, we'd look to one of the multi-pack options.

The Smyrna Hand Towel Set is a stunning set of thick towels for the hands and face or the dishes. Take one to the gym to wipe your brow during yoga, or use it as a runner to dress up your dining room table. This versatile towel is both absorbent and stylish. It gets softer with every wash so drying your hands and face is an absolute pleasure. The tassels are thick, and the pattern is traditional with a twist. Depending on how much hair you're packing on your head, it can also double as a hair wrap. 
This works great as a dish towel, but because those need to be washed often to ensure clean dishes, it's important to note that, while these towels are definitely machine washable, they must be washed on gentle and hung to dry to ensure their longevity. And since they are relatively thick, they tend to take longer to dry than some of the thinner options in this review. For those looking to add a beautiful accent to the bathroom or spice up the kitchen with something a little more fun than the average dishtowel, the Smyrna towels are a great option.
