Frequently Asked Questions about Hammam Towels

What is a Hammam towel?

A Hammam towel (also known as a Pestemal or Turkish towel) is a traditional, flat-woven cotton towel. Unlike standard terry towels, it is designed to be lightweight, ultra-absorbent, and fast-drying. It is the ultimate eco-friendly alternative for beach, travel, and wellness.

What materials are Towel to Go towels made of?

Our Hammam towels are made from high-quality cotton fibers. We offer a variety of collections featuring 100% Premium Turkish Cotton as well as models made from Recycled Cotton. All our products are OEKO-TEX® certified, ensuring they are free from harmful chemicals and safe for sensitive skin.

Are Hammam towels absorbent despite being thin?

Yes, they are highly absorbent. The specialized flat-weave technique allows the cotton fibers to soak up moisture instantly. Because the fabric is thin, it also breathes better, meaning your towel dries in a heartbeat, preventing the musty smell often found in damp terry towels.

Why is a Hammam towel better for travel and the beach?

The Towel to Go Hammam towel is the perfect travel companion because it is:

  • Space-Saving: It occupies 70% less space than a regular towel.
  • Ultralight: Weighing only approx. 280g, it fits in any carry-on.
  • Sand-Free: Sand does not stick to the flat weave and can be easily shaken off.
How should I wash my Hammam towel?

We recommend a machine wash at 30°C to 40°C with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain maximum absorbency. Air drying is the most sustainable and fastest method, but low-heat tumble drying is also possible.

Can I use a Hammam towel as a fashion accessory?

Yes, absolutely. Thanks to the stylish patterns and thin fabric, many customers use their Towel to Go as a Pareo, Sarong, Scarf, or even as a light Yoga mat cover and travel blanket.

What should I do if a thread gets pulled?

Because our Hammam towels are woven from natural cotton fibers, an occasional pulled thread can happen during everyday use. This does not affect the quality or durability of your towel.

Simply pull the thread gently back into the fabric or carefully trim it with a pair of scissors. Never pull on the loose thread, as this may damage the weave.

Why is my towel slightly shorter/longer than stated on the website?

Since every Towel to Go is hand-finished and made from natural cotton, small variations are a sign of authentic craftsmanship. It is perfectly normal for a towel to be slightly shorter or narrower by a few centimeters, or for the color to vary slightly from the product photo. These unique characteristics are not defects—they make your Hammam towel one of a kind and prove its handmade origin.

Do Hammam towels get softer over time?

Yes. Like high-quality bed linen, Hammam towels become softer and even more comfortable with every wash while maintaining their strength and durability. This is one of the reasons why premium Turkish cotton towels are loved by travelers and beach enthusiasts around the world.
