How to choose the perfect bath towel

When choosing a bath towel, it is common to feel confused with so many options available. But after all, what makes a bath towel the perfect choice?

To help you, we have separated some essential tips that will ensure you make the right choice. 

Grammage

The weight or grammage of the towel is one of the main indicators of quality. Towels with higher grammages (above 500 g/m²) are softer, more absorbent, and durable, providing a feeling of luxury and comfort after bathing. On the other hand, towels with lower grammages are lighter and dry faster, making them ideal for everyday use or for travel.

Choose the right material

Cotton is the most common material in the production of bath towels, but there are different types of cotton that can influence the quality of the product.
Egyptian cotton and Turkish cotton, for example, are known for their softness and high absorbency. However, Portuguese combed cotton towels stand out for their durability and softness, due to the careful manufacturing process that removes impurities and short fibers.

Check the finish and stitching

A good bath towel should have a flawless finish, with reinforced seams that ensure durability even after many washes. Poorly finished towels tend to fray and lose shape quickly. Additionally, check if the edges are well aligned and if the towel has a uniform density throughout its entire length.
