The dressing gown and when it is worn

Short answer: A dressing gown in bamboo viscose is thinner than a terry robe and is worn to stay warm after a bath, not to dry yourself with.

The two types

A terry robe absorbs the water from the skin and works like a towel you can walk around in. A robe in smooth bamboo viscose is thinner, glides over the skin and holds the warmth without being heavy.

When one beats the other

After a bath where you have already dried off, the thin one is most comfortable. In winter after a shower the thick one is better. See bamboo bathrobes for men.

Length and fastening

Knee length is practical indoors. A proper tie at the waist matters more than the design. See bamboo homewear and bamboo loungewear for women.

Frequently asked questions

Can you sleep in a dressing gown

That is not the idea. Nightwear sits better and does not restrict.

How often should it be washed

Every one to two weeks with daily use.

Does it shrink

A little in the first wash, like other viscose fabrics.
