They great benefit about these is that they aren't that expensive. They often go on sale and there is always a coupon floating around for them. They are NOT soft and plush and actually have a bit of a rough texture to them. They are nicely sized but you will need a couple of sheets for proper absorption as they aren't very thick. They do the job and are a great cheapy for the cottage or camping.

I still remember the Sponge Towels commercial that why I've always wanted to buy and try one when it goes on sale. One day it did go on sale and I had coupons for it so I bought some for $2.99+tax for a 6 pack roll. My boyfriend did an absorbency test on all the paper towels we bought on sale one day. We poured same amount of water on the counter and tested with all 4 brands of paper towel to see how much water they can suck up and whether if they can be reused after wiping water and drying. The generic store brand which had the poorest quality broke right away. Sponge Towels did suck up the water but it was fully saturated by the water. So we were super surprised when we tried Tiger Paper Towel that not only it sucked up all the water but it also had more space for more! What I mean is that there were lots of DRY patches on the piece of paper towel that we did not observe in the other brands! So I was a bit disappointed at Sponge Towel as it was beaten by another brand and didn't live up to its claims on the commercials and I watch for years. However I am still using it for general cleaning purposes and wiping down counter tops. I can still reuse it after drying it but for the same price, I'd rather use Tiger Paper Towel as it is more effective and absorbent for the same amount of money I pay.

The papertowels are very average. They aren't the best ones on the market in terms of cleaning with them or picking up spills but can do lighter jobs pretty well. They are way better than some of the value brand paper towels on the market.
