I recently tried the Luvable Friends Unisex Baby Hooded Towel set, and here's my honest take. First off, the design is absolutely adorable – that ikat elephant print had me at hello. The set comes with five matching washcloths, which feels like a nice bonus.

The material is super soft right out of the package, just as other reviewers mentioned. My baby didn't fuss at all when I wrapped her up after bath time. The size (30x30 inches) worked perfectly for my 6-month-old – not too bulky but enough coverage.

However, I did notice what several reviewers pointed out: these towels are THIN when wet. While they're gentle on skin, they don't absorb as much water as I'd like. I found myself needing to pat dry more than with thicker towels we own.

For the price point though? It's decent value. They make great shower gifts (I can vouch – we got compliments), and they're definitely softer than many store-bought options. Just don't expect luxury thickness.

Pro tip: These work best for quick dry-offs rather than serious post-bath soaking situations. Keep a backup towel handy if your little one is especially splashy!
