I'm a stay at home mom for most of the year and a tax preparer for the tax season. I have two small children (a boy and girl) and I'm constantly trying new things to make our lives better and easier.

Bounty DuraTowel

We go through paper towels like water around this house.  My husband uses them as a tissue (especially now with allergies), I always have puddles of water to clean up after I do dishes, and let's face it, kids aren't the cleanest eaters in the world, so I have to use one on them to clean them up.  It made sense for me to buy a pack of Bounty DuraTowels because of all this craziness.
Besides the price and amount that you get in a roll for that price, I hardly see a difference between these and other paper towels.  They are a tad bit stronger, but Bounty is known for their strength, even with their Basic line.  They don't get as soaked as easily as other towels while I'm wiping up a wet mess, so that's good.  But really, I don't see the point in spending that much on paper towels.  Their big packs of the regular ones work just fine for me.

Pros
- Strong
- Doesn't soak as easy while cleaning a wet mess
- No streaks while cleaning

Cons
- Pricey for the little amount that comes in a pack
- Nothing that sets them apart from the others

  1. I agree with your comments above, but have noticed one additional drawback to DuraTowel. They smell fishy when wet. I use paper towels to cook as well as to clean. I drained some tofu on a stack of DuraTowels, and I swear the tofu even tasted fishy. What's up with the smell?
