Bathrobe - how to choose?

For lovers of the Russian bath, the selection of things associated with this pleasant pastime is a special ritual. After a stuffy steam room you want to surround yourself with softness and convenience. A bathrobe will help in this.

First, such a robe will help you out when relaxing in a bath is part of sitting together with friends, especially if there are both men and women in the company. In addition, some may be ashamed of their shape or have skin defects that will give an unpleasant cause for embarrassment in the presence of other people.

At the same time, no other thing will give such a feeling of softness and freedom as a properly chosen bathrobe, because it absorbs water well and allows the skin to breathe without tightening it. This is where its main difference from a simple dressing gown is.

Currently, there is a wide selection of bathrobes, both home and bath. In order not to be disappointed in the purchase made and to bring comfort to the aftermath of your vacation, you should follow these tips:

• Of course, you need to pay attention to the size of the dressing gown: as a rule, one dressing gown can suit people of different sizes and builds due to the free cut and smell, but you need to choose an option that will not squeeze body parts (for example, will not press in the armpit) ;
• it is also necessary to choose the right fabric for this item of clothing, since it is the comfort that depends on it after the adoption of water procedures
• Pay attention to the accuracy of the seams: they should not scratch and injure steamed skin;
• When choosing a children's dressing gown, pay attention to the naturalness of the fabric, not very bright color and the presence of hidden seams (they do not rub soft skin). Also, do not try to pick up a model with a zipper: they quickly fail, so the option with a belt is much more reliable.

Among lovers of convenience, models with a hood are especially popular, since, having thrown it in time, you can avoid colds due to quick drying of hair.

Bathrobes are now commonplace. Many couples prefer to wear similar sets of clothes to show their special relationship to each other. These robes are popular among newlyweds, couples, girls and boys who have been dating for a long time, as well as among mothers and children (identical clothes, only of different sizes).

In addition to the usual models, there are also bathrobes of large sizes, which are just a godsend for overweight people. The design of the robe makes it easy to tie a belt and provides convenience, because it does not tighten the body of its owner.

In the winter, the bathrobe is as relevant as ever, especially if you have to run out of the steam room into a cold dressing room. The warmest options are thick terry, velor and linen bathrobes.

Services for applying embroidery on the back of a bathrobe are very popular. As a rule, customers are asked to write their surname or first name, to make a thing named, or to make another important entry for them. Also, a robe may initially be sold with artful embroidery, but it will be expensive.

A short bathrobe is chosen mainly by girls to demonstrate their legs to others. This bathrobe is appropriate in a warm room or in the summer.

Universal option: it is possible to wear both in the winter, and in the summer; both women and men. The most popular model of a bathrobe in the male sex.

The advantages of a waffle robe are that it absorbs moisture quickly and dries quickly. For the production of bath robes used cotton material - the best solution for allergies or people suffering from sweating. In addition, the waffle bathrobe is antistatic. The only drawback of the material is a ban on ironing with an iron.

Flax is a natural material that positively affects steamed skin. Recently, flax production in our country almost does not develop, so you will most likely find imported products in stores. This bath robe can be safely recommended to the owners of problem skin, as flaxseed fiber has serious antibacterial properties.

At present, models from bamboo are becoming popular. Women of fashion have fallen in love with them for stylish designs, but such dressing gowns are also good for health. Hypoallergenic bamboo fibers have antifungal effect, which is a boon for owners of sensitive skin. In addition, such products are easy to wash and clean.

Some fans of bath procedures prefer synthetic fabrics to natural fabrics, oddly enough. For example, microfiber is a hypoallergenic fabric, which contains nylon, polyester and other polymers.

It is also worth remembering that it is impossible to dry a bathrobe from such a material next to heating devices - synthetic fibers deteriorate.

The most popular type of cotton robe is a terry (in the manufacture without the addition of synthetic fibers). It is most pleasant to the touch, has excellent hygroscopic and anti-fungal properties, allows the skin to breathe.

The advantages of a velor robe are its pleasant to the touch structure and “rich” appearance. In addition, this fabric is not wrinkled and practically not deformed. The advantage of velor products can also be called a long preservation of the original color.

After choosing the right fabric, the next important factor in getting a bathrobe is the color of the product. People’s color preferences vary, so there can be no universal advice. We can only note those colors that are especially relevant in bathing fashion:

• black color is preferred by strict women and most men, it is classic, it visually reduces the shape;
• light gray color, beloved by men, and also women - adherents of laconic things;
• white - a completely classic version of a bathrobe, inspired by Hollywood films, the unisex version, impractical;

Most people prefer terry bathrobes to other varieties. This is due to the special fluffiness of the fabric and soft villi - eyelets, which easily massage the skin without causing irritation. At the same time such cloth perfectly absorbs water.

Opinions about the naturalness of the product or the use of semi-synthetic terry cloth divided. In general, most complain that in recent years the quality of products on the market has declined.

Linen robes are preferred by people who have a higher income. Many say that a bathrobe comes in handy not only in the bath, but also in the sauna and at home after a shower.
