One of the most underrated elements in the house, towels are some of the most useful items you could have. They dry off the skin after a shower or workout, and keep you feeling dry and comfortable. You wish to overhaul your bath linen this season, and buy towels of different kinds. This article offers a simple guide on how to do this.
Never bought a towel online before? Here’s how you do it:
* Size matters.
The size of the towel depends on its purpose. It naturally follows that bath towels are the largest in size, followed by hand towels, then face towels. Though most bed linen brands have standard sizes in all categories of towels, it is better to be aware of the sizes beforehand. When the brand advertises something as a bath towel set, it should measure 70 cm x 150 cm or 86 cm x 180 cm if it is a large variant. Similarly, hand towels usually measure 40 cm x 55 cm, and face towels measure 30 cm x 30 cm. Please check the towel sizes before adding the products to your shopping cart.
* Colour and prints matter, too.
You are now aware of towel sizes. Let’s consider the colours and prints you might like. Bath linen is not just about adding a touch of luxury to your bathroom, but it is about being visually appealing to you as its user. You might use whichever towel is available for use in your closet, but you will subconsciously gravitate towards a towel whose colour and design you like. There are umpteen colour and print options available in all categories of towels online, so choose the ones that appeal the most to you.
* Look for high absorbency.
A towel’s primary task is to dry the skin rapidly and not allow excess moisture to return to the skin even if the wet towel comes in contact with your body again. This means that the towel you buy must be highly absorbent. Other equally important attributes include plushness (this indicates towel thickness), light weight, a quick drying technology in the fabric, etc. Cotton towels with an anti-bacterial and/or quick dry make are best. They do not remain damp for long, so that mould and germs do not gather on it. Anti-bacterial towels are great for keeping away infectious germs and microbes, and they do not lose their quality even after regular washing and use.
* Check the best deals.
Online shopping is the easiest and most convenient option, since it allows you to browse multiple brands on one screen and pick the best deals. This festive season, online bath linen brands offer heavy discounts on the choicest picks in towels of all types and sizes. You should browse among comparable brands and pick the products that fit your budget and other expectations. Comparing prices across brands gives you an idea of what each brand is offering, in which colours and at what price. If you are buying towels online to gift somebody, you can have the products gift wrapped and shipped to their house address.
* Pay online and await delivery.
Do check the brand’s exchange and returns policy before proceeding to checkout. Once you are certain of your purchases, you can pay for them online using the available payment modes. Once purchased, the store sends updates on dispatch and shipping, with a tracking ID that you can use to know where the product(s) has reached. Most brands deliver their products within a week, but there may be slight delays in delivery during the festive season.
