Steps

1. 1 Understand what makes a towel a good towel. For starters, different types of towels are made from different fabrics, depending on whether you are going to wipe dishes or your body with them. Things to remember:
   • The absorbency is created by maximizing the surface area. Cotton towels are best for drying hands and face, while linen towels are best for plates and glasses.
   • Double-sided terry cloth is the best absorbent. It is ideal for drying hands and body, as it is covered with numerous loops on both sides, which increase the surface area of ​​the towel.
   • Linen crush, which is a combination of linen, cotton and viscose, is great for wiping dishes, increasing the rate of moisture evaporation.
   • Damask linen is good for wiping glasses and dishes where the absence of lint from the fabric is important.
   • Natural linen is super absorbent and durable. By nature, it is resistant to bacteria, does not leave lint on glassware and is capable of absorbing up to 20% of its own weight in water.
2. 2 Consider the composition of the fabric used in the towel. High quality towels are often made from fine, long staple cotton. Some of the more expensive towels are made from Egyptian or Brazilian cotton. Supima cotton, although difficult to find, is another excellent choice of long staple cotton native to the United States.
3. 3 Do your own check. In the store, try to feel and make out the towels to see if they suit you or not.
   • Take a close look. Are the fibers of the towel sticky like lawn grass? This is a good sign! If they are crumpled, they will not be very pleasant to the body.
   • Feel them. Are they soft? Or are they rude? If the towel is soft, slightly corduroy in feeling, and the weight can be felt in the hand, then it is of good quality. If it is tough, this indicates poor quality, it is better not to buy such towels.
   • Check the size. If you are very tall or overweight, look for towels that are slightly larger than standard towels for quicker and easier drying.
