Bath towels shedding!

M&S Egyptian cotton towels are superb, IMO. They last for years and come in a lovely range of colours/sizes.) The "bath sheet" is huge and snuggly.) Recommended!

I must add my Dunelm ones are still good too (after 3 or 4 years).

I'm really surprised that the Dunelm ones have shred... When we moved here 3 years ago I bought bath sheets and hand towels in a darkish green and a set in yellow and they have never shred. I never use fabric conditioner on them ( I was told this affects the pile). 3 years on and they still look as good as new. Maybe you have just been unlucky and purchased a duff batch.

I wash everything (pretty much) when new.
I have been in factories!

I always wash towels as soon as they arrive

I've recently discovered Ikea towels, not fluffy because they are textured but they are goof sizes and dry really quickly.

Usually when I buy new towels, I wash on the 20 minute cycle to get rid of the dander before use, sometimes labels say wash before use.

I bought some "emergency" towels this year from Asda when I went there for the post office one day. We were having guests that weekend and we had somehow mislaid the four towels I kept for them.

They are actually very nice and I've noticed my husband picks them out of the towel pile to use!

He does have a beard though.
No shedding that I can see...

I use Christie towels, and they are lovely. They have regular sales, so I don't recommend paying full price. Put some in your basket, enter your details then leave and wait until they contact you with an offer. There will almost certainly be a sale before Christmas as people will buy new towels in expectation of guests.

I usually use white or cream towels, but once bought some 'super luxury' teal and burgundy ones from BHS for a change. They were very thick and soft, but despite numerous washes they shed and left a dark layer all over the bathroom - every nook and cranny was coated in teal and/or burgundy fluff.

I usually buy from John Lewis. They have a great colour range. Matalan and NEXT also work for me.
