The Use of Different Types of Towels
Towels come in many varieties and can be used in different ways. There are bath towels, bath sheets, regular hand towels, face towels, tea towels, and sports towels. Towels are available in different materials, weights, and price ranges. Fully organic cotton towels are sustainable and have become very popular these days. On this page, you'll find everything about the uses of different types of towels.

Bath Towels

A bath towel is a very large towel used to dry your body after a bath or shower. You can also use it as a bath mat to step onto when you get out of the bath, or as a cover for your body or hair.

Bath Sheets

Bath sheets, or beach towels, are generally used when you're spending a day at the beach. The bath sheet is large enough so you can comfortably lie on the sand without your head or feet touching it.

Hand Towel

The regular hand towel is a small towel used to dry your hands. For example, it's the towel you hang in the bathroom or kitchen. In a smaller size, it's also called a face towel or guest towel, usually a small square about the width of your hand. You can use it to cleanse your face.

Tea Towels

Tea towels are usually used in the kitchen to dry clean dishes. They're also very handy for lining the shelves of kitchen cabinets to soak up excess water. Foods like freshly baked bread or cookies can be covered with a clean tea towel to keep them fresh for as long as possible. You can also place tea towels between plates, pots, or pans to protect them from scratches.

Sports Towels

Sports towels have extremely absorbent properties and are made from a sturdy material. These towels can be taken to the gym and are designed to absorb as much sweat as possible during your workout.
