Where can I buy the thinnest, cheapest towels?

[MorrisZapp]

Asda used to do a super value towel range that was v cheap and the towels very thin. They don't do it any more.

I want a thin, scratchy towel because that's what I prefer for taking to the gym! I can only find soft, thick fluffy towels, even in primark.

IKEA?

Try places like mountain warehouse / decathalon as they sell microfibre towels which fold up really tiny and are often quite reasonably priced (not sure if they would be scratchy though)

Decathlon do cheap thin towels for swimming, camping etc

Look for a Hammam towel?

What about HomeBargains or B&M?

What is a hammam towel?

John Lewis we’re doing a sale on towel bales recently. Dunno whether they still are, but they’re quite thin. I buy face towels at 35p for a wipe down at Zumba and exercise classes.

I use the thin microfiber towels from camping places although my favourite one came from Dunelm. I think Aldi or Lidl have had a .camping week recently so you might be lucky.

I got a thin Turkish type towel from Decathlon about a month ago- it’s great (I like scratchy towels too) www.decathlon.co.uk/fouta-powders-id_8388347.html

Hammam towel is what you need, search for 'peshtemal' on amazon and you'll find heaps

Camping towel

I got my son gym towels from Primark. Tesco has thin beach towels on sale couple of weeks ago for 2.50. Thin blue .. they are now gym towels too ! Hammam great for beach as you can pop in beach bag ... not so much gym I don't think x

Yes, hammam towel is the way to go. Tiny when folded, massive when unfolded and really absorbent. And they don't smell like microfibre ones do.

I use either Hammam towels or microfibre camping towel (Decathlon perfect for those and cheap as chips). Light as a feather. Take up no space. Dry super quick.

I adore hammams as they double up as picnic rugs, beach towels, wraps even scarves!! Crucial for a beach holiday!

@Foxyloxy1plus1 was going to get one of those bales - are they just rubbish towels?

OP I would try b&m.

I think hammam towels are nicer than microfibre

Try market stalls?

dS1 got gym sized camping towel from Home Bargains. They are thinner than the Aldi or Lidl ones

Some Asdas still have cheap thin towels. I bought one a few weeks ago.

Decathlon - microfiber ones.
Cheap and only take up a little bit of space in the washing machine.

I'vebought some hand towels from poundland. Do the job for me as they're used in the kids bathroom so I don't worry about them get ruined as they were only £1.

Hammam. Cheap on eBay.

Tk maxx good for all towels inc hammam

Wash them and dry outside , they will soon be hard and scratchy!!

Primark has microfibre gym/camping towels for £1 today
