So I just tried them, used the half body app in fair to medium bc I am just "testing" them, and learned that I will definitely need to use the full size ones when I do this as more then a test; the half barely did my legs :sad:, but it's all good bc now I know for next time


Did you like the color results?

I did another application tonight..half towel for my entire body. Somehow it just enough for me. It does try up a bit by the time I reach my feet, since I do them last, but no big deal.
 
^^So I kind of don't notice much of a change which I thought was kind of surprising bc I am SUPER fair to begin with (I have blonde hair and green eyes so you can probably imagine how pale I am) but I'll use another one tomorrow and see what happens. But I didn't get any streaks which is always a plus :tup: and I'll use the full size one, I'm 5'5" so I thought the half one would be ok (esp bc I was just ging to do my legs and arms if there seemed to be extra), but it seemed to dry up super fast. These should be fun to experiment with and hopefully I'll figure it out soon.

The first time I used these I used the Med-Dark towels and couldn't believe how dark it made me! Maybe 1st timers should try the dark ones instead of fair-medium for deeper results?

Thanks for the tip, i'm going out tomorrow to buy the darker ones. I really wanted to go today but it was so rainy around here I just couldn't get my butt in gear.
 
Thank you Txglam and everyone else who reviewed these. I am in LOVE!:yahoo: Last night I used BE on my legs and a TT half sheet (the dark one) everywhere else. I am going to reapply today to get a bit darker but the color is a gorgeous, natural shade. It's very similar to BE and you can't tell I used 2 brand at all- even where my ankle transitions to my feet. Best of all- NO STREAKS on my feet. I almost always have streaking on my feet and many times on my hands. I usually have to spend a little time in the shower with a scrub to even out the streaking the morning after applying self tanner but not today.:D This is seriously the best find ever. I'm going to keep using the BE on my legs because it works for me and I don't have any issues with streaking there and it's more economical but I will be using the TT half sheets everywhere else forever.

So glad it worked out for you too!! I applied a med-dark last night again and looks great as usual. I hope they never stop selling these! I finally cancelled my tanning membership after 10 years, thanks to tan towels!
 
I forget to mention another great thing about them- NO smell. None! I know everyone's body chemistry is different, I have read reviews on tanners that say no smell and they did smell, so this might vary from person to person but Tan Towels are the first self tan product I have ever used that didn't get that gross smell at least a little. BE has very little smell but these have absolutely none at all. Love them!
 
I tried the med-dark towels this week and love them. They didn't make me as dark as I thought they would but they were easy to apply and no streaking what so ever. I'm going to try another tonight to see if it will make my tan a little darker.
 
We don't even have a Dillards. I know. I live in the middle of nowhere.
I sympathize. I lived in Palm Beach county for 7 years where anything and everything was easily available and then moved to this little town where we have nothing but the basics. Quite a shock! We do have a little Dillards but it's horrible. We're only an hour from Orlando but I hardly ever feel like making the drive. We've been here for 5 years I am now the queen of online shopping.:laugh:
 
Ok I finally got around to trying these and WHOA! I am dark! I used one last night and didn't see anything after 4hrs, I was totally bummed. Then I wake up this morning and Im super dark! So it took longer than normal to work on me for some reason. I love the color, but I have a few problem areas unfortunately. I just did a second application so hopefully this will even it out. The streaked areas are my hands and feet... any tips to avoid this? Or do I just need to buy the lighter ones next time?
