Finding the Perfect Bathrobe: Tips and Tricks

The textile industry is one of the most polluting in the world. Synthetic or energy-intensive raw materials, dyes, overproduction, critical working conditions... The entire value chain of the textile industry must be considered and controlled to offer ethical and sustainable products. Textile products are present in every room of the house and the bathroom is also concerned. So how do you choose durable bath linen like a durable bathrobe that meets your tastes?

Bathrobes are used when you get out of the shower. After a moment of relaxation and well-being, it is always pleasant to make this pleasure last by choosing comforting bath linen. To do this, it is better to choose the material of your bathrobe that suits you.

In terms of material category, two choices are available to you: synthetic or natural material . Among the synthetic materials we find polyester and microfiber, made from petroleum particles. The natural materials used for bath linen are made from cotton, linen or even bamboo viscose.

Unlike natural materials, synthetic materials are polluting from the extraction of their components to their washing, releasing microplastics into your washing machine. They can also damage your skin and make it itchy. A price difference is a differentiating point between natural and synthetic, the latter generally being more affordable.

However, natural materials are more beautiful and more durable . Choosing a natural material is therefore strongly recommended for respect for the environment and for the good of your health.

What do you need when you get out of the shower? A soft bathrobe that wraps you in its soft adornment? Or a light bathrobe that gives you incomparable freedom of movement?

If the second option is the one that tempts you the most, a honeycomb or linen bathrobe is best. Both materials are thin and light and are perfect for refreshing summer showers, and are ideal for lounging around in the sun.

For a soft and fluffy bathrobe , choose cotton or bamboo viscose sponge. Thanks to the loop of the sponge, these materials provide effective drying and a feeling of envelopment. Perfect for staying warm and for absolute comfort.

This is the choice that Neo by Nature made. You offer 100% cotton, soft and fluffy bath linen to accompany you after your shower and prolong your well-being.

Grammage is defined as the mass of a surface of a material. It is an important selection criterion, particularly in the paper and textile industry. Indeed, it defines the resistance and weight of the materials : the higher the weight, the thicker, heavier and therefore more resistant the material will be.

Regarding bath linen, the weight concerns the fabric. It is important to understand that the higher the weight of a fabric, the more enveloping it will be and will dry you effectively .

For a bathrobe, the weight is generally between 250 and 550 g/m2, with an average of 450 g/m2. Neo by Nature bath linen offers you an exceptional weight by offering you bathrobes and towels of 600 g/m2 . Enough to wrap you in their soft finery and keep you warm.
