Aurora Athletic Towel Luxury Gym Towel ($15)
If regular gym towels leave your sensitive skin scratched and bothered, Love Sweat Fitness founder and certified personal trainer Katie Dunlop has found a solution: "I tried tons of different gym towels from the most expensive to the cheapest, and so far this is one of my favorites for the quality and price. It's soft, so it doesn't scratch my sensitive face, but also actually absorbs."
Why we love it: At the risk of getting Miley Cyrus stuck in your head, this towel really is the best of both worlds. You get the absorbency of a cotton towel but it's also infused with silver ions, which are added to help keep the towel fresh and odor-free in between workouts. Happy customers call this product a workhorse: "It absorbs a massive amount of sweat and dries quickly. I'm able to use it for multiple workouts consecutively by letting it air dry between them and there's no smell at all. The price seems a little high for a towel, but I'm satisfied so I just came back to review and ordered two more while I'm here."
What's worth noting: Even though the Amazon description says the silver ions make it easier to go without washing, it's still important to wash your towels in between every use. Dunlop agrees: "Wash it daily! Even with the best materials, bacteria can start to grow quickly, so grab enough for the week or be ready to wash them to have a fresh one each day."
