With an endless option of towels boasting a variety of features, Towel shopping can be a tactile endeavor. How do you tell the difference between Turkish cotton and Egyptian cotton or pick from a rainbow of colors and patterns? Towels are about both function and style. With a little knowledge, your towels will look, last and perform better in their many roles.
Here’s what you need to know to find a towel that does its job beautifully:
Fabric
All towels have a fabric weight, measured with a GSM (grams per square meter) number. Most towels are made of cotton, but the look and feel of towels largely depends on what type of cotton is used. Not all cotton towels are on the same shelf, quality-wise. Some towels are entirely cotton, while others may have other natural fibers added for softness. E-commerce sites are the best place to buy towels online.
Absorbency
There’s nothing worse than buying a new set of towels, getting them home, and finding out that they just don’t absorb water. To choose a towel that has decent absorbency, you can simply look for the GSM rating. Thicker, heavier towels are usually more absorbent than thinner, lighter towels, but take longer to dry, of course.

Style
Because towels offer a relatively painless and inexpensive way to complement or change the look of your bathroom, buying towels online comes down to preference, lifestyle and your interior design style. Fluffy loops help the towel feel soft and absorb water, but they can take longer to dry and may show more wear from laundering.
Towels absorb large amounts of dirt and body oils and should be laundered frequently, and using a high-scoring detergent. Be extra cautious on the towels that are bleach-safe and avoid using fabric softeners.
