What is the purpose of fabric strips on bath towels?

Why is this important?

Terry cloth ,  being highly absorbent, tends to  crumble and deteriorate  with washing and daily use.  This strip acts as a barrier that strengthens the fibers and slows down wear.

In short: a towel with these strips  will last longer  and stay  in better condition  than a towel without.

  • Easier maintenance

Another advantage:  these strips also allow the fabric to hold better after washing.

After several machine washes, a towel without reinforcement can:

  • To deform
  • Lose fiber
  • Fraying at the edges

Thanks to the  reinforcement bands , the structure of the towel remains more stable,  thus avoiding these inconveniences and extending its lifespan .

How to choose the right bath towels?

Some buying tips:

  • Choose napkins with these fabric strips , especially if you want  them to stay soft and intact for longer .
  • Check the quality of the cotton  : the thicker it is ( high weight ), the more resistant and absorbent the towel will be  .
  • Wash them before first use  to maximize their absorption.
