    Super absorbent!
    We used to roll up old towels and line them up in front of our sliding doors. The patio floods out only when there is a torrential 20+ minute downpour. These things soaked up the water quickly and kept it out of our house.I highly recommend this product!

    3.0 out of 5 stars From great to ok.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018
    I purchased these absorbent socks several times. The socks in my previous orders were great. They looked and felt flimsy, but they absorbed and held lots of water. I would then spin them in the washing machine to get the bulk water out, air dry them and reuse multiple times. After several uses, however, they began to get stiffer and less absorbent (which I fully expected) so I decided to re-order when I was down to my last few.

    The new batch I got in my last order was altogether different. Upon opening the box I found they had a new more robust looking and feeling sock material, and they felt a bit denser and more substantial than the previous. I assumed, then, that they somehow improved on an already great product. After the first use, however, I realized...not so much.

    They DO still absorb a ton of water. However, these new socks now allow the silicone material inside to leech out. This poses two problems: 1) they are messy to handle and leave some of that silicone material behind on the floor, and 2) I can no longer put them into the washer to spin out some of the bulk water to help them dry out quicker.

    You can see in my photos the difference between socks before and after water absorption (previous version on left, new version on right). These would have gotten the full 5 stars if I had written my review a month ago. But with this new version, I’ve got to knock it down. The last thing you want when trying to keep your basement dry in an all day downpour is to have that job get messier and more expensive.
