Last month, I was asked to review a Tesalate sand-free towel. I opted for the Heartbeats design, and I was not disappointed. In case you’re not familiar with sand-free towels, let me explain… Tesalate beach towels are super compact, ultra absorbent, dry rapidly and are fabulous to look at too.
Most importantly for beach fans, sand doesn’t stick to them – even when wet. All Tesalate Sand-free towels are made from their exclusive AbsorbLite fabric, and are full beach towel sized.
Tesalate Sand-Free Towel Review
The first thing which struck me when I received my Tesalate Sand-Free Towel was how small the package is. The towel arrives packed away in its’ handy storage pouch. I figured words alone wouldn’t get across how thin this towel is, so I made these comparison photos…
In the left hand photo, you can see a standard UK beach towel folded in half with a Tesalate sand-free beach towel, folded in half… The Tesalate towel is considerably longer, but they are both the same width. I folded both towels the same way, and the rest of the photos show the difference in size once folded. As you can see, the Tesalate Sand-Free Towel is much smaller when folded!
Fabric
When I first felt the towel, I thought it would never dry me. I’ve had several baths with it since then, and can confirm it is more than up to the job!
My Thoughts
The colours on my Heartbeat Tesalate Sand Free Towel are beautiful! It’s certainly striking, and I love that each side has a different design. The hanging hook is brilliant too – it allows you to quickly and easily store and dry your towel after use.
Tesalate claim the towel can absorb up to 1 litre of water. While I haven’t tested this exactly, I can confirm it absorbed all of the water from my hair after I’d washed it. (That’s no mean feat, given the length and thickness of my hair)! It also didn’t leave my hair frizzy, like a standard towel does.
While we haven’t taken the towel down to the beach yet, I’m confident sand will just shake off it, now I have felt the fabric. I’ll update the review once I have confirmed this!
Don’t just take my word for it – check out Vicki’ from Mumma and her mosters’ review here!
