We use them daily and take them as a natural part of life, which we do not think too much. Perhaps only when buying we look if we like the towel, what the pattern is, and if it is pretty soft. That’s all. But such a towel – that’s actually a science…
What do you consider most important on a towel or towel? Surely it will be their softness that everyone welcomes. We want to wipe after the bath, we do not want to scrub the skin with a grater. Then there is still the absorbency of the material, which is of course important, or essential for the proper function of the towel. But what is it that the towel meets or does not meet our requirements? Have you ever watched its structure? Maybe it’s time to look at her a little more thoroughly.

The more loops, the larger the surface
Certainly we all know that there are some fluffy stripes made up of larger or smaller stakes on the towel. They are not just for decoration or for increasing softness (although of course they contribute to it). This is something quite different and more important. The more such a material manages to get to the basic strip of fabric, the greater its resulting surface and thus it can soak up and retain more water. The towel is then simply much more effective.
A gentle but also a solid towel
When buying a towel, however, according to experts in textile production, we should be careful for one basic thing: if its entire area is just covered with such loops, we should avoid it for sure. It will be much better to reach for which one has a smooth fabric between the fluffy hills. Why? Such places strengthen the towel and help hold its shape, are more tightly woven and contribute to its longer life.
Follow the weight of the towel
It will be true that towels with smaller loops will be less suck, but due to stronger bindings will last longer in the same condition. The fine ones can be easier to destroy, so they are also reported on better products (GSM – gram per square meter), ie the number of grams of cotton per square meter of towel. We will learn about how tight the towel is woven.
What values are “correct”?
Premium towels are 900 GSM values, medium quality is between 400 and 600 GSm and the lightest, but also fastest drying, can only have 300 GSm. We are now talking about cotton towels, although we know that there are special materials on the market that would have to talk about other parameters.
Two fixed stripes are enough
Some towels, especially bath towels, have a firmly woven strip instead of these strips at each end. It also works similarly to the longitudinal gaps between the loops. Therefore, be careful what a piece you are in the store in your hand so that you do not have to buy new ones in the best faith that you are saving a few ten crowns. Nobody wants to wipe with and dilapidated bath towels.
