What size towel should I choose?

Towels are available in many different sizes, and it is not always easy to choose the towels that suit your needs. What is a normal measure of, for example, a bath towel can sometimes differ in different countries and environments such as hotels or at home in the bathroom? I hope the guide below can be helpful in making the right size choice.

Bath towel and shower towel

There is usually a difference between a bath towel or a shower towel that is often a little smaller than a bath towel. A terry towel bath often has the dimensions 70x140, 100x150, 80x160, or 70x160 cm, while a hammam towel that is thinner and takes up less space is often slightly larger.

Guest towel and medium size

It is often practical to have towels in slightly smaller sizes such as 50x100 or 40x60 cm to have hanging by the sink to dry face and hands or as a guest towel for visitors.

Wash towel, washcloth, and small guest towel

And Instead of a towel dryer or paper to dry your hands, it is practical and decorative to present a small basket with small towels with, e.g., dimensions 30x30 cm for toilet visitors that are thrown in the laundry basket after use. That size is also suitable as a wash towel for the face or small children. For face washing and for washing off make-up, there are also washing gloves 16x22 cm that is both practical and take up little space.

Beach towel, bath towels, and deck chair towel

On the beach, we often want a slightly larger towel that provides space for the whole body and may be able to lie a little on the lot with adjacent towels. Some people want an extra-large XL towel that also has a larger size of the board that is suitable for more people or as a picnic blanket. Because an extra-large terry towel takes up a lot of space, many people choose an extra-large hammam towel that is thinner and takes up less space. A beach towel often has the dimensions 100x180, 100x200 cm or 100x150 cm.

Spa towel or towel for massage table

A massage bench often requires a larger towel, for example, 100x200 cm, to cover the bench and to be able to wrap the whole body in. Even in spa and wellness contexts, we often want to be able to wrap the whole body in a towel to keep warm. Whether you feel comfortable with a terry towel or a thinner hammam towel is a matter of taste.

Sauna towel

At a sauna, it is practical to have a longer towel that remains without falling down when you wrap the body. A sauna towel is therefore often 200 cm in length. Even here, a thinner hammam towel can be a practical alternative to the terry towel. A buttonable sauna kilt is also a good alternative. The longer towels are also very suitable as a yoga towel for a yoga mat.

Hair turban and towel for the hair

If you have long hair and find it difficult to attach the towel to your hair after the bath, then a hair turban is flexible and easy to use. Even a small hammam towel is easy to wrap the hair in without it falling down.
