What are quick dry towels?

The best quick dry towels you can own are thin 100% cotton towels. These can be called many things from peshtemals, fouta, kikoys, or hammam towels. We sell hammam towels which are widely available around Europe. They have been used in Turkey in the hamam baths for centuries.

Look Again

 

If you are looking at micro-fibre towels as a quick dry towel you may wish to look again. Most modern MF towels can be up to 100% plastic, some claim that they are using 100% recycled plastic which is great under some circumstances.

Firstly, plastic has never been absorbent and never will be. Secondly, they are very bad for the environment and for you, your children, and your grandchildren’s health, follow this link to find out more “MF”. As an example every time you dry yourself you will release Micro Fibres back into the environment and at close proximately you could breathe in a minute amount of microfibre into your lungs.

I don’t have any scientific experience but just by reading about MF’s they are going to be a long-term issue. 

Recycled Cotton

If your looking at recycled cotton hammam towels, when the fibers are crushed they become too small to “tie” with each other so a polymer (plastic) is added to bind the cotton together. Hence why we only use 100% cotton.

100% Cotton Hammam Towels

Hammam towels are the original quick dry towels and have been around for centuries. As well as being a quick dry towel they are highly versatile. Ideal for the home as well as for outdoor activities or travelling in the UK or abroad. Great as beach towels, camping towels, swimming towels, deck/boat towels, or travel towels. Also great as a throw, wrap, shawl or sarong.

As our hammam towels are all 100% cotton they are as absorbent as any conversational towel you currently own.
