Renée's Take · Jul 2026
How I Tested 7 Bath Towels
I tested 7 bath towels from 7 brands across 4 safety checks, including Fiber Type and Finishing Chemical Disclosure. Every product was scored the same way: material safety first, then real-world performance and ease of use.
What I found: The top picks pass third-party safety verification and hold up in everyday use. The bath towels I left off had unverified material claims, missing certifications, or hidden tradeoffs that matter day to day.
Here's what came out on top:
- 1.Organic Bath Towels · Avocado · 9.8/10 · $25
- 2.Classic Organic Cotton Bath Towel · Under The Canopy · 9.5/10 · $68
- 3.Plush Bath Towel (Organic Cotton) · Boll & Branch · 9.5/10 · $49
