People were using peshtemal to cover themselves in hammams – traditional Turkish baths ages ago. Today, it is not only a hammam towel but it is also used in bathroom, kitchen, beach, pool, gym, spa, sauna, massage, pilates and yoga centers. You could even use it as a shawl or table/chair cover inside/outside of your house.

People prefer having peshtemal to regular towel because it takes up less space and is easier to carry than a towel. Along with its lightness and thinness, peshtemal is highly absorbent, fast drying, durable, eco-friendly and unisex.
