The bottom line

What the product listing won't tell you

Know before you buy

The Dock & Bay Beach Towel earns the lowest safety score in the towel category. Microfiber polyester is the lowest-ranked fiber type in R3's rubric because it sheds microplastics during use — and 'made from recycled bottles' doesn't change that. For parents selecting towels their kids will use daily, this is not the right product.
