Lonsdale Pro Towelling Poncho

Advantages: Good for a compact bathroom
Disadvantages: I dont think that there are any !

...We often have a good grumble about the amount of junk mail and flyers that come through the letterbox and if the Betterware representative is delivering his catalogues then that can be like a red rag to a bull. Betterware do have some good ideas but I get so annoyed because the rep expects you to leave the catalogue outside of the door for him to collect within the next couple of days. I just feel that anything left outside of the front door signals that you may not be at home or you could even be away on holiday, so more often than not I end up in hot pursuit of the Betterware representative as he makes his way down the road. Overdoor towel rails, not the most exciting product in the world but certainly a very useful thing to have. Our bathroom is compact, we have no room for a free standing towel rail or even a wall mounted... Read review

Advantages: Great price, simple packaging, perforated edges.
Disadvantages: None

...Everyone is looking for ways to save money at the moment and I recently looked at the kitchen towel in my kitchen and decided that I would try something cheaper for a week or two and see how I got on. Each roll has perforations and contains what appears to be a standard amount of kitchen towel. To use a piece I simply roll it out and then pull near the perforations and one piece will break away.

I found them to be absorbent and they didn't break up at all if I used them to do a little bit of scrubbing. Overall I couldn't find much different between these and the better brand. I can use them for all the same purposes and they can even be rung out a few times before they need to be binned. They are also... Read review

Advantages: look pretty, usually soft
Disadvantages: expensive, small, pretty useless

...I have fallen into the trap of buying hooded towels for both of my children and each time wondering why I bothered. Basically what they are are very small towels, more like hand towels, with an extra triangle shaped piece of towel sown into one corner in order to make a hood. This time I chose a Mothercare pack of three towels in shades of pink and white. This cost me £12, but if you shop around you can find them slightly cheaper at around £3 per towel, or a lot more expensive like toys r us at £9.99 per towel! I was disapointed with the mothercare ones as while in the pack they look quite thick and soft but upon opening you realise that the thickness comes from layers of cardboard wedged in between each towel! They are thin and not exactly rough but they could be softer. The idea is that you put the hood over the babys head... Read review
