Bath towel
A kind of towel
About
A folded bath towel is an everyday absorbent cloth measuring about 15 inches long and 2 inches thick.
Unfolded, a standard bath towel typically spans around 54 inches (1.37 m) long, which is much larger than a hand towel or washcloth. Larger versions known as bath sheets can exceed 60 inches (1.52 m) in length and weigh over 2 pounds (0.9 kg). The stack height of a folded towel depends on the fabric weave, with dense plush cotton sitting noticeably thicker than thin waffle weave styles.
From Wikipedia
A towel is a piece of absorbent cloth, or paper, used for drying or wiping a surface. Towels draw moisture through direct contact.
