A good towel is one of life’s simplest pleasures. For years, I was still using towels from college: threadbare, slow to dry and bulky in all the wrong ways. I knew it was time for an upgrade, not just for aesthetics, but for something more functional. That’s when I tried the Onsen Supima Waffle Four-Piece Complete Bundle and it completely refreshed my daily routine.
Inspired by Japanese design principles, Onsen focuses on essentials that elevate everyday living. These towels are made from 100 percent USA-grown Supima cotton, which is not only incredibly soft, but also up to 45 percent stronger than average cotton. The open honeycomb weave gives them a unique feel (lightweight but still sturdy) and it works like a sponge, pulling moisture off the skin more efficiently than any plush towel I’ve owned.
The real difference shows up after the shower. Thanks to the airy waffle texture, the towels dry significantly faster than traditional options. That means no more grabbing a musty towel the next morning or worrying about lingering dampness; the design helps resist the growth of bacteria and mold.
The four-piece set includes everything you need: a generously sized bath sheet, a standard bath towel, a hand towel and a face towel. As someone living in a smaller space, I appreciate that these towels take up noticeably less room in my linen closet (they’re 50 percent less bulky than traditional towels and I believe it). That’s a small but meaningful win for anyone living in a city apartment or tight quarters.
These towels are OEKO-TEX certified and free from harmful chemicals, so it’s safe to say that I’ve officially retired my college towels once and for all.
