Stopped using fabric softener 3 months ago, huge difference in towel absorbency

Woke up one morning. Towels felt waxy. Looked it up online. Turns out fabric softener coats the fibers. Blocks water absorption. Switched to just vinegar in the rinse cycle. Now my bath towels actually dry me off. Anyone else ditch softener?

Vinegar rinse is the way to go, works better than any softener ever did.

Oh yeah, I saw something about that on a cleaning blog once. They said the vinegar smell goes away once the clothes dry, which I always thought was kinda wild but it makes sense.
