White Classic Luxury Hand Towel, Set of 6 ($23)
Dr. Gohara is all about no-frills cotton towels, which are super absorbent. The towel measures 30 by 16 inches, so there's plenty of surface area to dab your skin dry throughout your workout. (Dr. Gohara recommends patting skin dry and never scrubbing aggressively, which can irritate the skin.)
Why we love it: This classic hand towel on Amazon has nearly 20,000 ratings and rave reviews from professionals and shoppers. Lots of customers praise their softness for being "spa quality" — and one reviewer even uses these for the health spa where she works. These towels are also OEKO-TEX certified, meaning every component of the product has been rigorously tested against a list of up to 350 toxic chemicals.
What's worth noting: Shoppers recommend washing the towels separately from clothes to avoid pilling or color transfer (though there are 18 different color options if you're worried about white getting dirty). And if you're traveling to your gym, Dr. Gohara recommends you storing your towel in a cool, dry place like in a separate pocket in your gym bag to avoid transferring bacteria.
