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.

Every one to two weeks with daily use.

Does it shrink

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