  • Gets better over time as the waffle weave gets deeper and thirstier with use.
  • Lightweight and storage friendlyā€”about 30% lighter and 50% less bulky versus average terry towels
  • Machine washable: fabric gets softer & thirstier with use (and we pre-wash our towels, so your first wash is on us)

      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 bacteriaā€“and 14% are contaminated with E. coli.

      Our signature Waffle Towelā€™s open weave dries so quickly, germs and bacteria donā€™t stand a chance. And the 100% SupimaĀ® cotton fabric is up to 45% stronger than your current towel. The result is a fresher, cleaner towel that lasts.

      Ā Is there anything our towels donā€™t have? Maybe a space in your linen closet.

      How does your towel stack up?

      Average cotton towel

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

      image image

      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 thatā€™s cleaner and fresher, longer.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Want to know more?

      What does Onsen mean?

      An Onsen (ęø©ę³‰) is a Japanese hot spring and the bathing facilities and inns frequently situated around them. As a volcanically active country, Japan has thousands of onsens.

      What is SupimaĀ® cotton?

      SupimaĀ® cotton is a 100% USA-grown cotton with an extra-long staple fiber, making it one of the finest cottons in the world. Its fibers are 50% longer than those of other cottons, and can be spun into an extremely strong, durable yarn that gets softer with use. Learn more about the SupimaĀ® trademark here.

      Do your Waffle Towels really dry lightning fast?

      Yes! The honeycomb pockets of the open waffle weave provide greater surface area for improved air flow through the fabric, meaning faster drying times, even in humid climates.

      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 and conditions, which coat the cotton fibers and minimize their natural ability to absorb moisture.
