    Learn More About Bath Towels

    Bath towels are large, rectangular towels used for drying off after a shower or bath. Etsy sellers make them in a variety of colors and materials, including natural fabrics like linen and cotton.

    The best bath towel depends on who will be using it, how durable you desire it to be, and the overall softness and comfort you’re going for.


    • Bath linens: These bath towels made of naturally quick-drying linen tend to be much thinner than traditional bath towels, and they have a gentle exfoliating texture. They come in a variety of colors but are traditionally white or striped bath towels.
    • Hooded towels: Towels with hoods are great for drying your body and your hair at the same time. This type of towel is especially useful for the little ones who can wrap up warmly in them.
    • Turkish towels: Turkish bath towels are made from tightly woven Turkish cotton. The patterns and colors vary, but they are often striped with long tassels on the ends.
    • Oversize bath towels: Also known as bath sheets, these large bath towels are perfect for a spa-like experience at home. You can wrap and drape them to your heart’s content.
    • Bathroom hand towels: These smaller towels for drying your hands are often included as part of a bath set. You can get decorative bathroom hand towels for display, including embroidered towels and vintage items like ‘70s towels in colorful, retro prints.

    Many Etsy sellers let you personalize your bath towels with your name, initials, or a custom message. For example, monogrammed bath towels make a wonderful wedding gift. You can often choose the colors, materials, and tassel style, too.
