Shandali Towel Product Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. One of the most recent products that I was allowed to review was the Shandali Travel Towel.

Hang to dry quickly. See the handy hook at the top of the towel? My Thoughts on This Towel I was really curious to see how this towel would be any different from a regular cotton terry towel. Well, it really is. Why? Because the material that it is made from is different. It's very soft and smooth.
