I also had waffle knit on my mind from getting some dish towels around that time so it all lined up in the Onsen towels. Im only 5'6 and in decent shape but after using bath sheets I can't fathom how bigger/taller people can stand using regular sized towels. Some years ago i found this kickstarter about a bath towel with a waffle weave that promises everything.
Well now that i suddenly got money for it and the ability to prioritize it i tried finding it and had happened. Ive found at least 4 different towels alle with the same design (which was the selling point) but different companies, webpages and materials. (Onsen, supima cotten.

ONSEN, a Japanese company, makes a waffle weave bath towel that dries quickly. It is NOT plush, though, so not for everyone. Anyone have experience with Onsen towels? Like the brand Onsen towel, not a towel you get at an onsen.
I really love the waffle knit and I want a really big towel, but $80 is a lot so wanted some thoughts from this sub before pulling the trigger. Do they hold up in regular washing machines/dryers? Do they actually dry you off nicely? They're not the "ultra mega super plush" kind of towels (which that overly-plushness actually contributes to fiber degradation over time) but it's a cross between a waffle and a "regular" towel imo. The waffle towel style might not be what you're used to (they're a bit thin) but they have great water absorption and dry quickly.

I got a limited Onsen x Huckberry color a few years back and it looks (and "performs") exactly like it did when I first got it. My terry towels are now a bit worn out and curious if there is something better out there. Either waffle weave or linen fabric sounds interesting but could be a waste of time.
