These viral fuzzy ball hand towels are chic, quick-drying and just $15 a pair
Made of sponge-like chenille, they're highly absorbent and — dare we say — fun to use?
Ever go to dry your hands and wonder why, after what seems like a good amount of wiping, they still feel damp? Well, that's because not all towels are created equal — and if you're thinking the threadbare ones hanging in your bathroom might not be so absorbent, you're probably right. Thanks to social media, we've found a viral product that offers a better solution than wiping excess water on your pants — the Sophie & Panda Fuzzy Ball Towel.
This fluffy, pom-pom-esque hand dryer was designed to be 30% more absorbent than a standard towel, according to the brand. That means it'll dry your hands more quickly and effectively — and at just $15 for a pair at Amazon? We're getting a set for the kitchen and every bathroom.
Who says drying your hands can't be fun? You'll have a "ball" using these fluffy finds.
Made of a plush chenille material, these sponge-like towels are able to soak up the water on your hands fast — and you'll have an easier time drying between your fingers, thanks to their tassels. If you have kids or grandkids, there's a good chance they'll be more excited to wash their hands if they know they'll get to use these soft, squishy towels afterward. And when it comes to houseguests? Expect lots of compliments, since these look so much nicer than a dank, drippy towel.
They come with adhesive hooks, which you can hang on the bathroom or kitchen wall, sink, cabinets — wherever you plan on using them. And just like traditional towels, you can throw these into the washer and dryer when it's time to clean.
More than 3,000 Amazon customers are already impressed with these towels — and over 1,000 were purchased in the past month.
"I just got this product and couldn’t wait to try it, as I’m always doing something in the kitchen and wash my hands regularly," explained one buyer. "My kitchen towels were always soaked and I keep changing them constantly because of this. I love this product; it is super absorbent, dries my hands instantly and now I keep my kitchen towels dry."
"I have gotten so many compliments on these towels!" exclaimed another. "They are cute and don't take up a lot of space. I use them in my bathroom and kitchen. I love having them in the kitchen because now people can easily differentiate between hand and dish towels. They feel like they are very well made too!"
"These are adorable and work really well," wrote a pleased parent. "Awesome for my kids, who always avoid drying their hands and love to drip all over my floor — suddenly, now they're ok with drying. I want more!"
"These work wonderfully," said a generally satisfied shopper, adding, "Wish they were a tad bigger ... the bigger your hands, the more you have to grab and press your hands to dry them, but I love them."
"They dry really well," wrote a final fan. "Only con is the little sticky hook they come with does not stick on surfaces very well." (Keep scrolling for a solve!)
For just a dollar more, you can grab a beige and brown set or this lovely blue duo.
And if you want a reliable sticky hook, this set comes highly rated:
These versatile hooks can be used to hang everything from jackets to towels to cleaning supplies to kitchen tools to ... well, you get the idea. You can hang two things on each of them — they can hold up to 10 pounds.
"We had nowhere to hang our towels in our apartment," shared a reviewer. "Bought a few of these and stuck them to the tiles in the bathroom. Really easy to stick on — they've been on a few months now and no issues so far."
