Know before you buy
The waffle weave features a honeycomb structure that increases surface area for better absorption while allowing for superior airflow. Unlike dense terry loops, this design dries significantly faster, which helps prevent the musty odors often associated with thicker towels.
While the waffle texture is distinct, the towel is crafted from extra-long-staple Supima cotton and garment-washed for initial softness. It is designed to become even softer and more absorbent with every wash, providing a comfortable, lightweight feel.
No, the waffle weave is intentionally lightweight and less bulky than traditional terry towels. It folds down compactly, making it an excellent choice for smaller linen closets or bathrooms with limited storage space.
To keep the fabric in top condition, machine wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the towel's natural absorbency over time.
Yes, the towel is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, meaning it has been tested and verified to be free from harmful substances. The quick-drying nature of the waffle weave also helps inhibit the growth of bacteria and mildew, promoting a cleaner experience.
