First off, let me say this set is ADORABLE. The white zebra print is so cute, and the little appliques on the washcloths make bath time feel like a mini celebration. My baby giggles every time I wrap her up in the hooded towel—it’s like her post-bath superhero cape.

The softness is legit. The 80% cotton blend feels gentle against my newborn’s skin, and after multiple washes (because let’s be real, babies are messy), the towels haven’t turned into sandpaper. They’re holding up well, which is a win for sleep-deprived parents who don’t have time for high-maintenance laundry.

But here’s the thing: absorbency is just okay. The towels are thinner than I expected—like, ‘I-need-to-do-a-double-swipe-to-dry-baby’s-back’ thin. They work fine for my summer baby, but if you live somewhere chilly, you might want to layer these with a thicker towel or use them more for playtime snuggles than serious drying.

The 20 washcloths? Game changer. I use them for everything: bath time (obviously), impromptu spit-up cleanups, even as burp cloths in a pinch. At this price point, having a mountain of them means I’m not constantly doing laundry.

Final verdict? Great gift (the packaging screams ‘baby shower’), super cute, and soft enough for sensitive skin—just don’t expect spa-level thickness. For everyday use with a side of adorable? Totally worth it.
