From fluffy to lightweight options. Professional Microfiber Cloths
Showers are our sanctuary. Whether your bath routine includes that special hair mask or features an impromptu therapy session between you and… yourself, it gives us the time to peel away from the outside world, if only for just a few minutes. And the quickest way to snap out of your good mood to a bad one? Reaching for a towel only to realize it never dried properly.
Simply put: It’s gross, leaves a musty smell, and it’s more than likely happened to all of us at least once! There could be a number of reasons why your towels didn’t dry properly. And replacing your current lineup with some of the best quick-drying towels on the market can help avoid the uncomfy situation altogether. These towels are highly absorbent, lightweight, and designed to have a fast dry time. It’s not your job to wait around for them to dry off!
Experiencing similar towel woes and looking to break up with your current towel (it’s not you, it’s them!!)? Below, we’ve listed some popular picks that would never do you dirty.
The feel of these organic cotton towels from Coyuchi can’t be beat. Spun with the brand’s long-staple Turkish cotton into a lightweight yarn, the efficacy is taken a step further thanks to the weaved texture that enhances its overall drying power. It’s soft, plush, and absorbent—aka everything you want in a towel.
Never pass up on a chance to add some color into your home, at least, those are my thoughts! Pottery Barn’s selection offers you various different hues to choose from in a range of muted pastels that aren’t too loud but give just the right amount of boldness. Aside from color, the towels themselves are made with a weaving process that results in them being highly absorbent.
There’s something about a waffle construction that just feels luxurious. Can you say at-home spa much?! Parachute’s selection is lightweight and has a minimalist look that fits any aesthetic. These towels are textured with a soft honeycomb weave that not only looks mega chic but also is very quick-drying.
If you’re looking for a supremely thin, lightweight type of towel, you don’t need to look any further. Brooklinen’s Ultralight Bath Towels have all the info you need in the name itself, and they don’t disappoint. Compact and fast-drying, these are low-maintenance towels you won’t have to think twice about.
These towels are made in Portugal of two-ply organic cotton yarns. The result? A durable blend of softness and absorbency that you’ll appreciate having in your bathroom routine. The ribbed texture is a classic one you can’t go wrong with. And if you’re looking for matching washcloths or hand towels, those are available to purchase separately or as a bundle!
“Let’s go to the beach-each, let’s go get a wave,” is what you’ll be saying to this bb when the weather gets hotter. Your new plus-one for the season, this lovely cabana towel is compact and comes with a handy pouch to tuck away once you’re done using. If you’re driving or hopping a ride on your local transit, the last thing you want to be is dripping wet. This handy towel will ensure you’re dry enough after jumping in the waves all day.
Budget-friendly options are not to be slept on, so we found you a pick we think does a great job at drying quickly—at a price you’ll love. For less than $20, you can snag a six-piece set for your apartment that includes two bath towels, two hand towels, and two washcloths.
Plush towels feel like a hug, and these thick ones from Parachute certainly deliver. Although they are very plush, they’re also more quick-drying than most highly absorbent towels on the market.
Ensuring your hair doesn’t poof up minutes after getting out of the shower is a constant struggle for many. This cutie towel wrap will make it so your hair dries and helps prevent static. It’s gentle enough that it won’t cause breakage either.
Planning on collecting another stamp on your passport soon? This compact towel is a travel must-have. It's lightweight and easy to pack. You’ll love having this on hand for any and all adventures to come.
