Onsen Bath Towel
The definitive waffle-weave towel that solves the 'musty towel' problem through superior airflow and high-quality Supima cotton. It dries significantly faster than plush towels while remaining surprisingly absorbent due to the increased surface area of the weave.
Ingredients & Purity
100% Supima Cotton, which represents less than 1% of cotton grown in the world. It is extra-long staple cotton grown exclusively in the USA.
Scientific Evidence
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. Supima trademark ensures the cotton is genuine and not a blend.
Brand Transparency
Clear about cotton sourcing and the technical benefits of the oversized waffle weave, though specific mill locations are less publicized than Coyuchi.
Value Assessment
Priced at $50, it is a specialty item. Its value lies in its quick-drying properties which prevent bacterial growth and odor, reducing wash frequency.
Why Not Alternatives?
Generic waffle towels are often thin and use low-grade cotton that feels like sandpaper; Onsen uses 100% American-grown Supima cotton which has 45% stronger fibers than regular cotton.
