About Towels

Towel shopping is not a tactile endeavour because a little can be determined by touch alone. Checking the product features with a click is much better than hopping into different stores. So, commence your shopping spree with a bit of research as to what specifications you need in different kinds of towels.

Determining the size, deciding on the weight, and choosing the material is the technical side of shopping. There is another side where you think of the way your home & living is. The more number of family members can affect the budget or the quantity of towel set you want to purchase. If you are able to set your budget before exploring the products, it would be a better approach to buy towels online in UAE. And, it is up to you if you want to buy a set or buy products separately. On this page, we have talked about different kinds, their most sought features, brands and shops to look for a particular type. Let’s get started with the bathing ones.

Bath towels

Bathing items are more of personal preference. You might want it extra fluffy, or you only want a lighter plain fabric that can absorb water. For that, you can go to the specification list of any product and check if there are short loops mentioned or plush loops. Then, check the material that would be cotton, linen, or bamboo most of the times. Check out our Togas shop, and you will see each of these fabrics with beautiful geometrical patterns and embroidery on the edges. You can also filter them with the density and size you want. There are more brands and shops you can explore now at our shopping search engine. You can also look for wholesale bath towels.

Face Towel

A separate face cloth is a must-have in your towel set. But what qualities should they infuse? Well, your facial skin is more sensitive and exposed as compared to the rest of the body. Therefore, you need a product that is super-soft and healthy for your face. In that regards, microfibre and ringspun cotton tops on the list for a face cloth. There are also muslin cloths great for travelling purpose and bamboo face cloths for facial cleansing. You can choose by filtering the material and size after contemplating your budget for face wipes. Remember that you need more than one because it would be good for your hygiene if you keep changing fresh cloth daily. So, check out and buy face towels online in UAE now.

Beach towels

The fibre content of beach towels is mostly 100percent terrycloth or microfibre. These can dry quickly and shakes off the sand easily. You will most likely see the term sand-free, but that is just for the feature that sand will not stick into your product. Talking of absorbency, you need this feature in abundance. So, look for more plush towel to dry yourself quickly at the beach. Do not forget to check out the beautiful designs and patterns because it is a beach cloth, and you got to show off. Talking of beautifying the towels, we suggest you should take a look at Dolce & Gabbana’s collection once.

Hand Towel

The number of times you use hand towels is more as compared to other types. So, they need to be rough and tough because that’s the only way they can survive. Now you know what features to check while looking for the best hand towels for the bathroom. Yes! Durability and softness. The latter one is actually true for all kinds of towels because you do not want to torture your skin with any harsh or brittle loops. These bath & kitchen textiles offer more than their subtle and tiny looks. These towels mostly come with hooks to hang, so check the images if you do not want this design. Now that we have covered almost all kinds of towels, we suggest looking at our tips section. These bullet points can help you in grabbing the best deal.

Tips on how to buy Towels online

Are you one of those people who love shopping offline? Let’s tell you one fact about buying towels: you can’t decide the towel’s quality by just picking it and checking the softness. The in-store softness can possibly vanish after two washes. You ought to know the specifications that say 100% cotton product to validate the quality. You have to ask the sales representative, or you can choose a simpler way: a single click. Other than the material, there are more to see under the specifications list that we have compiled here.

  • Production certification – Checking the material is not enough to validate the quality of the towel. A cotton towel goes through a long process from collecting cotton from the field to reaching the customer. Even the lack of good weaving yarn can lead to faster wear if the edges. Of course, you cannot check these things while buying. But you can check if the product is Oeko-tex certified because that sums up almost everything.
  • Ways to check durability – Choosing quality material and certified products will say all things positive about durability. But there is one more thing to check this feature. And that is by looking at the edges of the towel. If these are double turned with double stitching, you have got yourself a fine product, which is high on the durability meter.
  • Weight versus absorbency – Towels for different applications can vary from 300 to 900 gram per square meter. Choosing the weight of the towel influences area of usage, habits, and drying requirements. However, if the towel is heavy and still can’t absorb water, it is of no use. So, before you check the weight, you should check the absorbency power.
  • Do not encourage shrinkage – All textile products, even bamboo-made, are subjected to shrink. You will get an idea from their first wash or up to the fifth wash. To prevent more shrinkage and prolong life, you should follow washing instructions as specified by the brand. Keeping the temperature low while washing and drying, and not using softeners are some of the tips to prevent the towel from losing its absorbing properties.
  • Design matters too – The design of the towel for the beach day or the one hanging in your kitchen will be different. Therefore, you can choose the design according to the area of usage. But if you are selecting the set of towels, you can still make it work by choosing subtle designs or solid colours because that works everywhere. Talking about the colours, make sure that you do not choose dark towels for outdoor activities because they attract the sun. For indoors, you can be as experimental as you want to be.

We think that’s all about choosing quality in products you explore. When you put thoughts into choosing one product, you are probably sticking to it for a long. So, you getting tired of wrapping the same towel every day is nowhere to see. And now about commencing shopping, Shops.ae is an excellent platform to be. The list of reputed brands you will discover here includes Togas, Abyss & Habidecor, Bounty, Lauren, Polo, Missoni, Vera Wang, Tommy Hilfiger, and many others.

Question & Answer

Are towels made of cotton?

Not just cotton, towels are also made of bamboo, microfibre, linen, and certain forms of rayon also. Still, cotton material for towel tops the list if you look at the mass production. But cotton products differ in softness, absorbency, durability, colour-fastness, and therefore they differ in price range too. For example, Egyptian cotton, organic cotton, Pima cotton, and Turkish cotton are a few popular names in the cotton towel market.

Can towels be washed in cold water?

Yes, of course! Towels if washed in cold water can keep their fluffiness intact. The icy water also prevents shrinkage at the seams and keep the colour stay for long. You do not have to use fabric softener because that will make the product stiff and their topcoat brittle. Ss, cold water, the right amount of washing powder, no fabric softener, and not over-drying the towel is the right way to wash towels. About the last advise, you can use a tumble dryer but also let the towel dry through natural air and sun.

How many towels do I need?

A single person should have at least two sets of hand towel, bath towel, and wash towel. One set for your current use and another clean set when the first is in the laundry. You can have more sets depending on your laundry schedule and the number of family members. The said number is specifically for a basic purpose, but if you go to the gym, or do sports activities, you need more wash towels. Or if you go to the salon, you might want to take your personal set of face towels to maintain hygiene. We think having a few extra towels in your stock is a kind of mandatory thing.

What towels are the best?

You will be really impressed by Lacoste’s legend bath towels that make a plush statement. They are 100% cotton without any decomposition and punctuated by signature croc. There we talked about bath towels, but if you are looking for hand towels, look no further because Kleenex is the online store to visit for the same. Likewise, you can go to Bounty’s store if you are searching for fine quality paper towels. Not a different store, what all you want is one set with matching or contrasting prints, head towards Missoni.

Shops.ae is all about multiple brands, online shops, genuine reviews, and whatnot. So, get on it and make your purchase an informed decision as you should.
