Pension doesn't stretch far at 73, so I kept buying cheap options. Big mistake, they'd leak or fall apart after a few washes. Saved up three months for Ultradries. Waited 4 weeks for delivery but honestly? These will last me YEARS. The cotton is quality, stitching is solid, absorbency is brilliant. Doing the maths these work out cheaper than constantly replacing rubbish ones. Wish I'd just bought these from the start and saved all that wasted money.
