Some 100% cotton towels may not be absorbent due to the presence of fabric finishes or softeners applied during manufacturing, which can create a barrier on the fibers. Additionally, new towels often have a coating of residual chemicals from production that can reduce absorbency until they are washed a few times to remove these substances. The type of cotton weave and thickness can also impact how well a towel absorbs moisture.
