Four thick 600 g/m² cotton bath towels – a soft pile for pressing dry instead of rubbing.
The last step of a bath decides a lot about how skin feels an hour later, and a thin or scratchy towel makes people rub. This set is the opposite: four bath towels in 100% cotton terry at 600 g/m² – a thick, soft pile – each 27 × 54 in (69 × 137 cm), with the listing and the label giving OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification.
The feature set makes it a practical choice for pressing water off dry, sensitive skin instead of rubbing it, and four towels mean one can always be clean and dry on the hook. The care label asks for a 100 °F (38 °C) machine wash and a low tumble dry, with dark colors washed separately.
Tip: Wash new towels once or twice before the first bath – cotton terry gets softer and more absorbent after a wash – and skip fabric softener, which leaves a coating that makes towels absorb less.
