Cotton fibres possess a natural affinity for water as their molecular structure attracts and retains water making them extremely absorbent. The loop structure of a terry cloth also increases surface area creating more space where moisture can hide therefore increasing absorption as well. At DEIA Living our towels are made from Egyptian cotton which also enhances this ability to absorb further. Most importantly we don´t use any silicon treatments in the manufacturing process of our towels which give some inferior quality cotton towels a fluffier feel and appearance than they actually have. DEIA Living towels are ready to be used from day one- no pilling, fluff and lint coming off on you or your clothes for weeks on end before your towel actually becomes useful!
