Turkish towels ??sometimes called Peshtemal, Hammam or Fouta towels ??are made from Turkish Cotton, a premium cotton that has extra long fibers. ... Because of this unique material, Turkish towels ÿare known to become even softer, fluffier, and more absorbent with successive washings.
The peshtemal absorbs water as fast as a traditional towel, dries very quickly, takes up less space, is easy to carry and is therefore used as an alternative to the towel in bathrooms, pools, spas, beaches, and sport facilities.
