They come in various sizes, colors, and materials, making them an essential part of personal hygiene and bathroom essentials.


History

↓↓
Towels have been used since ancient times for drying and cleaning the body. Ancient Egyptians used linen cloths that were similar to towels. In the Middle Ages, woven fabrics like hemp and flax were common for drying. The invention of terry cloth in Turkey during the 17th century improved towel absorbency. Terry cloth towels spread to Europe and became popular for bathing and personal use. Industrial production of cotton towels began in the 19th century, making them widely available. Today, bath towels come in many sizes, materials, and designs for comfort and functionality.
