Travel towels are compact and made with absorbent materials, often infused with antibacterial fibers. They can be made from microfiber, nylon, polyester, or viscose rayon. They can be washable or disposable and come in various sizes and prices. They have multiple uses and some even have pockets for storage.
Travel towels are thin, compact towels that fold neatly into the size of a napkin. They are a practical way to take towels on holidays, trips to the beach, camping trips or business trips. A travel towel is a towel without the bulk of a full-sized towel. Travel towels are made with super absorbent materials that dry quickly and are often infused with antibacterial fibers to prevent bacterial growth between washes.
A travel towel is typically made from microfiber, but other common materials include: nylon, polyester, or viscose rayon. Microfiber towels are soft, but sometimes the material is irritating to sensitive skin, especially dry skin. A travel towel doesn’t glide across the skin like a regular terry towel, and some people don’t like using travel towels for this reason.
Like most products, the cost of a travel towel will depend on its size and the material it is made from. Quality microfiber, antibacterial nylon, and polyester towels are some of the more expensive types of travel towels. Viscose rayon is less expensive; however, it will usually need to be softened in the washing machine for two or three cycles.
A travel towel can be washable or disposable. A disposable travel towel is extra thin, biodegradable, and compact enough to take up little space in a backpack or travel bag. These types of towels can only be used a few times and should be hand washed or placed in a mesh bag on the delicate cycle of a washing machine. Many brands of travel towels come with their own little mesh bag.
Smaller travel towels usually have multiple uses. The absorbent materials make them ideal for home use. The extra thin disposable towels can also act as coffee filters or window cleaners. On the other hand, extra large travel towels can be worn as a sarong for light coverage when heading to the beach or pool. Also available are travel towels with a pocket for storing keys, a wallet or a cell phone while you’re at the gym or pool.
