5 Reasons to Love Egyptian Bathroom Towels

For thousands of years, Egyptian cotton has been used to make garments and textiles for royalty and commoners alike. Fragments of Egyptian cotton clothing have been found that date back at least 5,000 years. Fast forward a few thousand years, and you can now find the same type of cotton being made into home textiles like wonderful Egyptian bathroom towels.

So what makes Egyptian cotton so enduring, and endearing? Let's look at five of the amazing qualities of this natural resource and fabrics into which it's made:

1. Egyptian cotton is extremely strong, thanks to its "long staple" fibers.

What this means is that the staples, or fibers, of the cotton are about twice as long as other cottons. These fibers can be spun into much finer and stronger threads. Those threads, when woven into textiles create a highly durable fabric. It's the perfect choice for everyday use, as it lasts longer and will wear better than regular cotton.

2. The long staple cotton means extra softness.

Because they are woven from these long-staple threads, Egyptian towels are just as strong and absorbent as regular cotton towels. In addition, they are extra soft and luxurious, thanks to the fine texture of the individual threads. Imagine how good this will feel to your family, when you wrap the kids up fresh out of a bubble bath!

3. Egyptian cotton towels hold their color.

Thanks to the extra-absorbent quality that comes from the long-staple fibers, the yarns are able to absorb more dye and hold onto the color longer. You'll notice that they are often dyed in rich, vibrant colors. You can find them in deep purples, browns, greens and royal blues in tones that are not often seen in regular cotton or cotton-blend towels.

Because of their absorbency, they hold on to their color much longer than regular towels. Even after repeated washings, the colors stay bright, vibrant and lovely.

4. Natural cotton is better for your skin.

If anyone in your family has sensitive skin, you know how important it is to choose high-quality textiles made from natural fabrics. By choosing 100% cotton, you are providing a safe, natural experience for your family.

5. Egyptian towels last "forever."

Like many higher quality products, you may pay a bit more for an Egyptian towel than a regular cotton or cotton-blend alternative. It's worth it though.

How many times have you purchased new towels, only to find that they fade and lose their softness within just a dozen or so washings? Or maybe you've purchased some expensive ones and are afraid to use them so you only put them out when company comes.

With Egyptian bathroom towels, you can use the good stuff every day. Because of their strength and high thread count, they launder well and keep their shape and color. An investment like this is a loving act for your family and a smart decision for your checkbook too.
