Hammam towels - worth the £££

[Sittinginthesand]

They look good for camping and the beach, any recommendations? I keep getting ads for dock and bay now that I have googled but they aren’t cotton!

I have hammam towels for swimming/camping and they are brilliant. I got mine on Amazon from a turkish company

[CatrinVennastin]

I have cotton ones and use them for camping, beach even swimming at the Lido.

Definitely worth it OP. They roll up really small and dry super quickly. I would get cotton ones though.

I bought mine from eBay I think.

I'll add my voice to the recommendations for hammam towels.

Foldup to nothing wash really well.

H&M Home have Hammam towels from about £8 atm

[OliveHenry]

You can also pick them up at TK Maxx/Homesense sometimes.

I have some which have a thin layer of towelling on one side and smooth cotton on the other - they're great as they dry really quickly.

I wouldn’t call dock and bay Hammam towels but they are good towels. They’re enormous and roll up really small.

I bought mine from Homesense and love it. I did umm and ahh as it was still £15 but it's worth it. I'll have a look at H&M if they are that cheap as I'd love to replace most of our towels.

Decent hamman towels aren’t that expensive but are so worth it. You need 100% cotton. I hate microfibres ones, they don’t dry you, are dock and bay microfibre?

[MrsWooster]

I really rate them. We got a pack of four from Amazon for around £20 and they’re great.

They are a bit of an acquired taste, as my OH hates them and uses a normal beach towel. I bought one for DM and she wasn't that keen on it either.

My children have ones I got from Matalan which have a layer of normal towel in them, so they are thicker than traditional Hamans, bit thinner than regular towels.

[HasaDigaEebowai]

Dock and bay are microfibre. Their advantage is they’re truly enormous and the sand doesn’t stick to them

[flutterbean]

I love mine, great for camping! I found them on sale in Tesco about a year ago, paid £5 for two!

[ChickenTimeBomb]

I got 100% cotton ones for swimming and they are great.

[Sittinginthesand]

Thanks all! I’ve ordered a set of four cotton ones from Amazon. Hope they are as the reviews say!

Pure cotton hammam towels are phenomenal and have been my go to beach towels for years!

I am horrified by the price of them in the UK, however! I buy a few every year from the market in Turkey and reckon the most I have ever paid is about £2.50 for a VERY large heavier weight one.

I've just bought one to try and like it. When I went backpacking a few years ago, I used a large length of muslin instead of a towel. Sufficiently absorbent, dries quickly, and folds up to be tiny.

[WillowGrand]

Have you got a link to the 4 pack?

[36degrees]

I got a brilliant one from the White Company on a sale years ago, it was fab for keeping in the car just in case (we live near a beach) but we took DCat to the vet in it once and it went missing, I keep meaning to replace it.

[WrongKindOfFace]

Tesco are selling off their version for about £4.50 each. They’re cotton with a thin cotton towering layer on one side.

Here for the link! Been looking to buy some for ages
