Our Verdict
Aden + Anais present another delightful product made of their signature 100% cotton muslin. This hooded towel and washcloth set are thick, soft, absorbent, and big, with the potential to last beyond the newborn stage. The washcloth may not work well for newborns as it is large and heavy when wet, but we think it will work fine with older babies and tots. Despite the washcloth size, we believe this set is a home run and could be a great addition to your baby's bath time routine.
Our Analysis
Born and raised in Australia, Raegan Moya-Jones grew up with her native land's centuries-old practice of swaddling babies in cotton muslin blankets. Once she moved to the US and became a mother, she struggled to find muslin blankets to swaddle her baby and carry on this tradition. Thus, the idea for Aden + Anais was born. Back in 2006, the first muslin swaddle blanket was introduced, and now they offer a wide range of products, including bibs, blankets, nursery bedding, clothing, and more.

Likes
We noticed that this towel is thick from hands-on testing, a perk we appreciate when wrapping up a little one after bath time. The towel is soft and big (32" x 32"), large enough to keep your baby warm and dry comfortably. The muslin outside features Aden + Anais' signature designs, and the inside is terry cotton, which is absorbent. Both the towel and washcloth are machine-washable and quick to dry. After bath time, you can easily hang them up using the built-in loop, making cleanup simple and convenient. They are available in many beautiful designs and colors.
The towel's size is great for the long-haul, from newborn stage to toddlerhood.

Dislikes
The matching cotton muslin washcloth (12" x 12") is very absorbent and best for older babies because it can get too heavy when wet and too big to reach a baby's tiny creases and rolls. Also, the price is a factor to consider. However, we think the set is worth the investment.
The towel set may be pricey, but considering its value over time, we think it is worth the investment.

Conclusion
Overall, if you're in the market for a towel and washcloth set, we think this set may meet your needs. Plus, its quality is notable, and we believe it will last the test of time. Use it during the newborn stage and beyond. We are confident it will be a welcoming, warm place for your baby after bath time.
We are big fans of this company's products, including the Aden + Anais Classic Swaddle, Aden + Anais Burpy Bib, and Aden + Anais Classic Crib Sheet. They all make for a classic, top-notch gift.
