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?
Average cotton towel
Germs and bacteria stink–literally! Odor-causing microbes multiply on fabric that stays wet, leading to nasty smells, acne, and infections.
Onsen Waffle Towel
Shower at night, dry by morning. Towels that dry completely between uses have almost no chance of harboring bacteria.
With maximum surface area for increased air circulation, our original open weave fabric rapidly dries itself, for a towel that’s cleaner and fresher, longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Want to know more?
What does Onsen mean?
An Onsen (温泉) is a Japanese hot spring and traditional space for bathing and relaxation, two of our favorite things.
What is Supima® cotton?
We use Supima® cotton because it’s 100% USA-grown and extra soft. Thanks to its super long fibers, it can be spun into extremely strong, durable yarn that just keeps on getting better. Learn more about Supima cotton {here}
Do your Waffle Towels really dry that fast?
Quick-drying comfort is our middle name (really—check our birth certificate). Our towels dry super fast thanks to our unique waffle weave, so they’re always dry and never musty.
How do I care for my towels?
We recommend washing your towels in cold water on a gentle cycle every 3-4 days. Tumble dry on low with wool dryer balls. Avoid using fabric softeners, which coat the cotton fibers and minimize their natural ability to absorb moisture. Learn more about towel care here.
