Best quick dry bath towels in Australia
This also means that any towels left damp for a long time or cannot completely dry between uses will often develop a musty smell. I.e. bacteria.
That’s where quick dry towels come in. The sooner your towel dries out, the less time bacteria have to grow.
Here are the top five towels that will dry between uses.
Navara Textured Pine Bamboo Cotton Towel Range, $29.99 (originally $49.99), Adairs
Made in Turkey, the Navara Towels combines two materials to create a towel that has the best of both worlds – the absorbency and durability of cotton and the natural antibacterial and quick-drying properties of bamboo.
Sheridan quick dry bath sheet, $59.97 (originally $99.95), Myer
The Sheridan quick-dry bath towel range combines the softness and comfort of cotton with a unique technology that enables the towels to dry quickly, making them a practical and stylish addition to any bathroom.
One reviewer wrote: “Super soft and gorgeous Forrest green. The most wonderful thing they dry quickly: no damp towel the next morning.”
The Cotton Company, Montreal towel, $44.95, Pillow Talk
The Montreal Bath Towel Range is made from luxurious Turkish cotton; it’s soft, durable and quick-drying.
CleanBamboo™ Waffle, $119, Ettitude
Made from sustainable CleanBamboo™ waffle weave fabric, this towel range is free from harmful chemicals and extra gentle on delicate skin. Bamboo is an excellent choice for towels as it has a looser weave, allowing more air to circulate the fibres, speeding up drying time.

Made using Australian cotton, the Kiko range features a grid pattern with an oversized border. Reviewers say this towel doesn’t take long to dry.
