Bamboo clothing for the pool, sauna and spa

Short answer: For the pool and the spa it is the towel and the change of clothes that matter most. Bamboo viscose dries faster than thick cotton and takes up less room in the bag.

The towel

A towel that dries quickly smells less when it lies in the bag. See bamboo towels.

A change of clothes

Bring a set of dry underwear used only after the swim. See bamboo underwear for women.

After the sauna

The skin is warm and damp after the sauna, and a smooth fabric feels better than a rough one. See bamboo t-shirt for women.

Dressing gown

A jersey gown takes up less room than a terry one and is mostly used indoors. See bamboo dressing gown for men.

The bag

Wet clothes in a closed bag smell quickly. Bring an extra bag, or hang the clothes out as soon as you can.

The socks

The feet are damp after a swim, and a dry sock makes the rest of the day better. See bamboo socks for women.

Washing

Wash towels without fabric softener, which closes the terry loops. See how to wash bamboo towels.

Frequently asked questions

Are bamboo towels absorbent?

Yes. They absorb well and dry faster than thick cotton towels.

Why does the towel smell?

Because it lies damp and crumpled. Hang it out as soon as you can.

Is a jersey gown enough after a swim?

It is meant as a cover-up indoors. For drying the body, terry is better.
