One of the things I’ve always struggled with when spending time on the beach is the sand. Don’t get me wrong I love the sand whilst I’m on the beach but when I leave I find sand everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main reasons for this is the sand that sticks to your towel and so this year, when I went to replace my family’s beach towels I did some research into towels that might be able to repel sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkish towels are sand resistant making them one of the best towels for the beach. The sand repelling properties of these towels not only keeps sand away from your body but also ensures that you no longer take sand with you when you leave the beach.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s get into the detail of how these towels do it and the benefits for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we do, I wrote a more complete article titled Are Turkish Towels Good for the Beach<\/a> which I’d encourage you to read after this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Does Sand Stick to Towels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are several reasons why sand sticks to towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first reason is due to moisture, so if the towel is wet or even slightly damp the sand has much more chance of sticking to the towel fibres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second reason for sand sticking to towels is due to the pile and overall fluffiness of the towel itself. Regular cotton towels especially the heavier, higher quality towels tend to have a deeper pile which makes the towel fluffier and more luxurious. Whilst this is great for the bathroom, it’s not good for the beach as the sand gets trapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The type of weave is also important when it comes to sand stickiness (if that’s actually a phrase) and many towels have a loose weave. A loose weave allows for pockets where sand can get stuck even when the towel is shaken out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final reason is around the thick fibres that most common towels have. The thicker the fibre the greater chance of the sand sticking to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in summary the heavier and fluffier the towel is the more likely sand with a stick, especially if it’s wet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at each of these reasons in turn and how Turkish Towels<\/a> address each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
