This weekend I was in Hillsdale, a Portland neighborhood, and wandered in a little Turkish bath shop. I then proceeded to learn about Turkish towels.
A peshtemal is a Turkish traditional towel used in the Turkish baths. The peshtemal absorbs water as fast as a towel, dries very quickly, takes up less space and easy to carry and is therefore used as an alternative to the towel in bathrooms, pools, spas, beaches, sport facilities and for baby care. It's great for traveling too!
The peshtemal fabric is made of 100% cotton produced in hand-woven looms in Turkey.
These products are highly water absorbent so they're suitable for using in the bathroom. Look for a local shop to buy them, but if you do not prevail, here is an Etsy Shop that sells them. The Hillsdale shop owner told me that once I go Turkish, I will never go back.
