Clean Up Your Act

Your current
towel is gross...

Yeah, we said it. Towels that stay damp for hours are a breeding ground for bacteria. In fact, research suggests that 90% of bathroom towels contain coliform bacteria–and 14% are contaminated with E. coli.


Our signature Waffle Towel’s open weave dries so quickly, germs and bacteria don’t stand a chance. And the 100% Supima® cotton fabric is up to 45% stronger than your current towel. The result is a fresher, cleaner towel that lasts.


Is there anything our towels don’t have? Maybe a space in your linen closet.

How does your towel stack up?

Onsen Waffle Towel

Shower at night, dry by morning.

Our original open-weave waffle maximizes airflow, so moisture escapes fast. Made from 100% Supima® cotton, its stronger fibers help the towel hold its texture wash after wash—staying fresher between uses.

Average cotton towel


Germs and bacteria stink–literally! Odor-causing microbes multiply on fabric that stays wet, leading to nasty smells, acne, and infections.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Want to know more?

How does the 60-Day Trial work?

It’s simple: Use them, wash them, and live with them for 60 days. We want you to experience the difference in your daily routine. If you aren't completely in love with how they dry (or how they smell) after two months, you can return them for a full refund.

Why use Supima® cotton instead of regular cotton?

Because it justifies the investment. Supima® is the top 1% of cotton grown in the USA, featuring extra-long fibers that are twice as strong as regular cotton. This means your towel won’t pill, fray, or lose its texture, ensuring it lasts years longer than standard terry cloth.

How does this towel help stop odor before it starts?

It’s simple science. Bacteria and mildew thrive in moisture. Traditional towels stay damp for hours, creating the perfect environment for odor and buildup. Onsen’s open honeycomb weave increases airflow so towels dry significantly faster, helping reduce the damp conditions where bacteria love to grow.

Are these towels high maintenance to wash?

Not at all. Machine wash on cool/warm and tumble dry on low—that’s it. In fact, you should skip the fabric softener (it coats the fibers and ruins absorbency), making these easier to care for than your current towels. They are designed to get softer and thirstier with every wash.
