Bamboo dressing gown for men and what you use it for

Short answer: A dressing gown is practical for the twenty minutes after a bath and for sitting in during the morning. It has to absorb water quickly and not become heavy.

After the bath

A gown that absorbs quickly means you can put clothes on ten minutes later without being damp. That is its most important job. See bamboo dressing gown for men.

Weight rather than thickness

A thick terry gown feels luxurious but becomes heavy when wet. A lighter bamboo gown absorbs just as quickly and dries faster.

The rest of the bathroom

Towels in the same material behave the same way and dry at the same pace. See bamboo towels.

Washing without fabric softener

Fabric softener makes the gown soft to touch and useless at absorbing. See washing and care.

Frequently asked questions

Does bamboo absorb as well as terry?

It absorbs faster but holds less water in total. After a bath that is an advantage.

Can a dressing gown be tumble dried?

On low heat. High heat makes the fabric stiff and shrinks the seams.

How often should a dressing gown be washed?

Every other week with daily use, more often if it does not dry fully in between.
