Towel Day, corresponding to May 11, is an anniversary celebrated by admirers of the English writer Douglas Adams, which also coincides with the day of his departure from the world. It occupied a distinguished position in the late writer’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, and the writer’s fans also celebrate World Towel Day on May 25th.

On the occasion of Towel Day, we are reviewing in the report tips that must be followed when buying bath towels, according to the “”goodhousekeeping“.

Tips when buying bath towels

Check the fiber content of the towel

The towel must contain 100% cotton, preferably Egyptian cotton, to ensure that it is softer, more water-absorbent, and more durable. This type of towel is expensive, but polyester towels are often less expensive, quick-drying, and more durable.

Visually inspect the towel

When buying a towel, it is preferable to make sure that the edges are neatly folded and secured with tight and secure stitching, which indicates the quality of its handcrafting. This also prevents corrosion and helps to extend the life of the towel.

Weight check

The heavier the towel, the greater its density and absorbency, so it is preferable that it be heavy.

To buy a good and durable towel

When you want to buy a super soft and absorbent towel, it is preferable to buy a 100% cotton towel with dense and plush loops of yarn on the surface, and if you want to buy a quick-drying and more durable towel, it is preferable to think of a blend of cotton and polyester or a lighter fabric with low pile. The fluffy loops help the towel become soft and absorbent, but it can take longer to dry and over time it may show more wear with washing.
