A trip to the bathhouse is a long-awaited rest for most people. In the steam room you can forget about important matters and problems, relax and improve your health. This is one of the places where people relieve stress and gain strength. Every second on the eve of the weekend thinks whether it is necessary to somehow prepare for the upcoming event. For those who rarely take a steam bath, you can see food, drinks, towels in the list of things. Bathhouse lovers are more serious about preparation and be sure to take their favorite bathrobe with them, doing the right thing. Imagine how nice it is to wrap yourself in it after pouring cold water in the sauna. We recommend everyone to purchase this product and introduce into their lives the tradition of regularly going to the steam room. And before that, read about which robe to choose for the bath and what its characteristics matter.
Understanding the purpose and needs is important
What does a person expect from spending time in a bath? Positive emotions. And they arise only when comfort is felt. The dressing gown should be comfortable, fit, attractive in design, and also fit the needs. When choosing it, you can easily make a mistake. A striking example: you do not like to dive into cold water after a bath, just sit in the steam room, but buy a very warm terry dressing gown. In such a product it will not be entirely comfortable, it will be hot. It is useful only when you need to go outside during the cold season. For lovers of high temperatures, it is better to choose a dressing gown made of medium density cotton fabric, and take a lightweight analogue for the summer. Also on sale there are options from thin terry.
Warm product with long hair is optimal for drinking tea after jumping into a cold pool and other hardening procedures. Natural terry without synthetic inclusions perfectly absorbs moisture, warms, retains heat and allows you to relax.
Interesting: there is one Arab tradition that is close enough to some of our people. It is about staying in the sauna in a bathrobe. Yes, this is how the Arabs go to the bathhouse. They take a robe with them exclusively from light natural fabric (bamboo, cotton, etc.). Taking a steam bath in a synthetic product is unhealthy. It does not allow air to pass through, does not possess the property of hygroscopicity.
Tip: When choosing a bathrobe for your sauna, don't forget to buy new slippers, a turban or a bath cap.
Does the brand matter
Many companies are engaged in the production of bathrobes and dressing gowns today, but not all products suit their owners in terms of quality. We definitely do not recommend chasing a low price. A good terry that does not fade or fray cannot be cheap. Inexpensive cotton will also quickly stretch, lose its shape, and the dressing gown will turn into something unattractive.
When choosing bath clothes, look at:
quality of tailoring;
fabric structure;
care recommendations;
the quality of the material.
Brand matters. Well-known companies do not risk their reputation, they produce high-quality textiles that are attractive in appearance, pleasant for the body and do not thin out over time. It has no protruding threads, uneven seams, villi, loops and other defects.
Material is an important choice parameter
Whether it is comfortable to wear a bathrobe depends on the fabric from which it is sewn. Choose products made from natural fibers for your sauna so that your body can always breathe, without rashes and irritation. In the bath the pores open, the skin regenerates and renews, toxins are actively released. Natural materials do not interfere with these processes.
There are many positive reviews about bathrobes from:
Velor cotton. Extremely body-friendly, thin and soft material. The velor robe is not very warm, but it warms up perfectly. You can really relax in it, but when buying, do not forget that the canvas absorbs moisture worse than terry cloth.
Terry. This is a kind of terry with whole loops. It absorbs moisture much better than other fabrics. The product turns out to be incredibly soft, warm and comfortable.
Bamboo. Cellulose fiber is an ideal base for sewing bath clothes. It has a huge number of positive properties: it "breathes", produces an antibacterial effect, deodorizes, restores temperature.
Modal. Dressing gowns made of this material appeared not so long ago, they can be called a novelty. The basis for the production of modal is environmentally friendly wood. The thing is durable, soft and comfortable at the same time. The material is breathable and absorbs moisture.
Spa. Basis for sewing premium sauna accessories and accessories. They are bought by spas and upmarket hotels. The products are truly premium and very comfortable. The main feature is two layers. On one side there is an ultra-thin bamboo fiber, on the other - a dense terry with a long pile.
Important: give up synthetics altogether, in the bath it is useless.
Turning the sauna into a spa treatment and using oils to improve skin condition will make the robe less comfortable. The pile absorbs fatty components, after which it ceases to absorb moisture. We do not recommend applying oil to the area after sauna.
body ki that come into contact with clothing.
Universal fit
The dressing gown should be loose, not restrict movement. Choose a piece by size, traditional cut. The market is mainly represented by kimonos - consolidation robes with wide sleeves. They are devoid of accessories, warm and cozy, wrapped around and easily tied. This is the best option for women and men.
Do you need a hood? Judge for yourself, in this case its main purpose is to protect the head from drafts. If you have a hood, you can not use a towel after a bath.
Determine the comfortable length
This is not to say that a short robe is better than a maxi analog. Each person has their own preferences in this regard. It is comfortable in a long bath kimono, you feel protected in it, wrapped up from head to toe. It warms up quickly and is indispensable on cold winter and autumn days. When choosing such a product, do not go wrong with the size, this is very important! If a man of short stature takes a model several times larger, he will look like a small child in his father's dressing gown. The thing will be too long, will touch the floor. A tall woman in a piece of clothing will also not feel comfortable.
Bathrobes for a bath of medium length are called universal. Short counterparts are predominantly preferred by women to emphasize the beauty of their legs and always look irresistible. They are comfortable in the warm season, when you do not need to think about protection from the cold.
Color and decor
Bathrobes are made classic, it is difficult to find an exclusive, because bold experiments negatively affect the comfort of a person. However, traditional sauna products are not boring or unattractive. Fabrics of various colors are used for sewing: from pastel to dark and ultra-bright.
Important: if you like a model of a spectacular shade, ask the manufacturer what composition he used for staining. Chemical dyes have a negative effect on the condition of the skin.
We recommend choosing things in natural shades for the bath. For example, milky, beige, pale peach, etc. Black, blue, green colors are traditionally used in men's models. There are also white and beige options for guys.
