Hunting for the best pink bath towels
Hunting the best pink bath towels take a bit more thought than you might imagine. We’re here to help.
How to hunt the best pink bath towels
Any form of hunting requires a strategy if you’re going to be successful. Hunting bath towels is no different. Here’s the plan:
First: Decide on your color. Pink. Check!
Second: Make a decision about towel material. Cotton? Microfiber? (more below)
Third: Decide on grams per square meter (GSM) of material (more below)
Decision Time… Towel Material
Of course you want 100% cotton. Oh, wait, what about a cotton/polyester blend for durability. Oh, and don’t overlook microfiber towels – they’re coming on strong.
There is a lot to consider no doubt. Rather than spoon feed you with a simple recommendation that just won’t make sense for every situation, we’ve decided to err on the side of education with the material selection chart below. If you want to dive deeper on any of the material options use the learn more links to, well, learn more.

Egyptian Cotton | HIGH | $$$$ | ||
Pima Cotton | HIGH | $$$ | ||
Microfiber | LOW | $$ | ||
Organic Cotton | DEPENDS | $$$$$ |
Decision Time… GSM
GSM is a mystery to most. Sure, it sounds impressive to tell the sales clerk you’re only willing to consider towels with a GSM of 600+, but what does it mean? Simply speaking, GSM stands for grams per square meter. The bigger the number the more grams per square meter and therefore the more densely packed the towel is with material. And the more material you have, the thicker the towel is. We generally equate thickness to quality so stay at the high end of the GSM chart (it tops out at 900 GSM) if quality is your chief concern.
GSM Selector for Towels
GSM Rating | Thickness | Dry Time | Best For |
---|---|---|---|
300-400 GSM | LIGHT | LOW | gym, kitchen, car |
400-600 GSM | MEDIUM | MEDIUM | beach, powder rm, hand towels |
600-900 GSM | HEAVY | HIGH | shower, bath, spa, luxury hotel |
