Waffle Weave Towels Towels Are Oeko-tex Standard 100 Certified. QUICK DRYING: Waffle Weave towels are eco-friendly and dry up to 40% faster than standard towels, even in damp bathrooms. SUPER ABSORBENT: Gilden Trees 100% natural cotton waffle towels are thinner and flatter when new, and shrink after washing to form cozy little honeycombs which make it a super absorbent towel. SPACE SAVING: Waffle weave is naturally thin and lightweight, so it's ideal for those who pay for laundry services and it takes up less space in your linen closet, gym bag, suitcase, RV, yacht or boat. LUXURIOUS: Over time, our oversized towels will shrink to form little honeycombs. They'll feel a little thicker and softer while remaining remarkably absorbent.
