These smaller-than-standard size wash cloths were created for infant care, but they are excellent for my adult special-needs facial and sensitive eye-area cleansing needs! The terry side is ultra soft and does not shed threads or lint like some wash cloths, and the regular fabric side is ideal for gentle wiping and spot cleansing. They are very absorbent and hold a perfect amount of water and cleanser, staying thoroughly moist but not dripping wet like many "adult size" very thick wash cloths. They also hold up very well to continual use and laundering. I first tried these a few years ago after discovering them in a specialty store, and I am so happy to find them again on the internet and be able to deal directly with this fine company. I highly recommend them, whether for use with infants or any other sensitive or special need where their softness, durability and small size might be very helpful.
