As you may know that there are many types of towel available, which can be made from different materials. However, the thing you should consider is the function of usage when stocking up this bathing equipment.

The best material that suitable for make towel is cotton fabric, because the main purpose of towel is to blot up water and cotton fabric is hydrophilic so it has strong ability to absorb water. However, the synthetic cotton my not be as absorbent as entire-cotton towel, because only natural cotton is more hydrophobic and it absorbs moisture into its structure, which has many of layers.

Terry cloth or Velvet?

The terry clothes generally has loops that has ability to absorb water. The most loop, the greater ability to absorb. However, some other people prefer velvet towel. Velvet towel is made by shearing process that removes part of the terry and shortens the fabric pile. However, the ability to absorb moisture of velvet towel is slightly less that terry cloth, because of it has shorter loop but this does not affect its performance as long as it is used to blot, rather than rub dry. However, in some case, if you lucky enough during shopping and you can fine the towel that one side is terrycloth and other side is velvet. The way that you can easily check the ability to absorb water of a towel is thickness, the towel has more thickness usually contain more.

There are other problems of some body who can not identify which one is made from real cotton. As mentioned above that quality of cotton is the key to identify the absorbent, so how we will know that the towel made from real cotton? The most easiest way is you have to look for the Seal of Cotton trademark, which appears on many towels, bath and bedding items.

4. Do not bleach colored towel because it will destroy ability to absorb water of the towels.
