How quick-dry towels work

Picture this: you’re a hectic family with kids, towels (that’s the least of it!) are left on floors or chucked into corners, or you’re on the go, rushing from gym to office. 

These moments require a certain kind of towel. There’s a time for thick, plush options with a cushioned and dense feel and for light, fluffy and easy-to-dry-off counterparts. Made from fabrics that soak up water well but dry fast, quick-dry towels prevent bacteria from forming, which can cause mustiness and mildew. As an interesting extra note, this also makes them perfect for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin.

What helps towels to dry faster? 

You’ll find quick-dry towels in a variety of materials, but if you prefer a natural fabric, cotton towels can be crafted in the perfect way to help boost practical drying time. As cotton experts, we know a thing or two about weaving cotton in the best way to promote a faster drying time. You can find quick dry bath towels in varying weights (which is measured in GSM, or grams per square metre), but generally, they tend to be lighter weight. They often have textured weaves too, and this helps to boost airflow within the fabric which reduces drying time. 

Look for design features like waffle weaves and materials like 100% cotton (which is naturally breathable) and blends of cotton with naturally quick-dry and antimicrobial fabrics, like Bamboo.

How to Choose the Perfect Towel for Your Needs

Finding the best one for you depends on your lifestyle and what’s important to you. To guide you, here are some key points to consider:

• Size: If you need a sports or travel towel, look for something small enough to fit in your bag, lightweight (more on that next) and absorbent. 

• Material: Cotton offers softness with fast-drying properties. GSM, or grams per square metre, shows how thick a towel is. As a rough guide, choose something around a midweight to lightweight ) 600 GSM or less.  

Intended Use: Are you looking for a practical family towel, a workout towel or something for the beach? Each type has certain features to boost performance, so take a look at what your chosen towel excels at.
