Compressed Cotton Towels
$12.99
A towel the size of a coin — add water, and it opens into a towel.
Each tablet is a full cotton towel compressed into a disc the size of a large coin. Sprinkle water on it and it expands in seconds into a towel about 11.8 by 11 inches — washcloth-to-hand-towel size, thick enough to actually use. Fifty in the pack, and the everyday logic is simple: a handful of tablets in a glove box, a gym bag, a diaper bag, or a carry-on replaces the bulky "just in case" towel everywhere. One material point, printed plainly: these are cotton only — not the rayon or viscose versions that make up most of this category.

Are they reusable?
They are built as a sturdy single use — a real towel for the moment, not a tissue — and a gently used one can be rinsed and used again the same day. They are not a laundry item; when it has done its work, it goes. At about 26¢ a towel, that is the honest trade.
Why does the material matter?
Most compressed towels are rayon or viscose — serviceable, but thinner-feeling and slower to break down. Cotton is the version that feels like a towel, holds together when wet, and suits skin. It costs a little more per tablet, and the difference shows the first time you use one on a child’s face instead of a countertop.
What if it arrives damaged, or doesn’t arrive?
