What materials do you use?

• Onsen waffle products are made using Oeko-Tex Standard certified Supima® cotton. Supima® cotton has an extra-long staple fiber which makes it one of the softest and finest on the planet. It’s twice as strong as regular cotton, absorbs more water than regular cotton, and even lasts longer than regular cotton. It is only grown in America, mostly in California. Learn more about our Supima® cotton {here}.
• Onsen plush towels in our Wovey collection are made of 100% extra long staple Oeko-Tex Standard certified Aegean cotton.

How do I care for my towels and robe?

• We recommend washing your towels and robe in cold water and on a gentle cycle. They should be tumble dried on low using wool dryer balls. It’s best to wash your towels every 3-4 days. Avoid using any fabric softeners, as they coat fibers minimizing its natural ability to absorb. Learn more about towel care {here}!
