Washcloths
Measurements: 12'' x 12''
Washcloths are the smallest bath towel option, and they are commonly used to wash and dry your face outside of the shower. They also work well to cleanse and exfoliate your body while you shower.
See the selection of Washcloths here.
Hand Towels
Measurements: 20'' x 30''
As their name suggests, hand towels are intended for drying your hands. These towels remain outside of the shower, and they can also be used to dry your face, as well.

Bath Towels
Measurements: 30'' x 56''
Bath towels are the most commonly used towel for drying off after a bath or shower. They are ideal for drying both your body and hair, as their size makes them soft and absorbent, but not overly heavy.

Bath Sheets
Measurements: 40'' x 70''
Bath sheets are the largest towel choice available, and they are optimal for drying off and wrapping up in after a shower or bath. They work particularly well if you seek more coverage. For reference, our oversized bath sheets are 67% bigger than our bath towels.
