6 towel warmers that will make your shower experience feel luxurious

Make your post-shower experience feel more luxurious by heating your towel in a towel warmer — experts share what to look for when shopping.

Picture this: You’ve just finished a hot, steamy shower. You turn off the water and step out into the cold air. Not so pleasant, right? But now imagine that you’re wrapped in a warm towel. That picture just became a whole lot more luxurious, didn’t it? A towel warmer can do more than just give you cozy vibes, says Michael Tidwell, CEO at Only Towel Warmers, an online towel warmer retailer. “A towel warmer can also serve several other purposes, such as warming the bathroom, drying towels for multiple uses and helping with mold and mildew caused by the wet fabric sitting around.” If you tend to really wet your towels after a shower, this could help you go through fewer towels in a week.

Additionally, if you have a pet that you bathe at home, a warm towel can make the bath process a little less uncomfortable for them. And towel warming racks can be useful for drying bathing suits and other items. So while a towel warmer can feel like it only serves the purpose of luxury, it’s also practical.
