Hi Vira, this video is mostly focused on the use of microfiber towels in the context of travelling - eg. when showering / going to the beach etc. From what I know, yes Microfiber towels are generally more suitable than cotton bath towels for backpackers because they're highly absorbent and can hold several times their weight in water! Yet despite this, they also dry much faster than cotton towels, which is convenient for backpackers who need to pack up and move between destinations regularly. Additionally, microfiber towels tend to be lighter, more compact, and more durable than cotton towels. While cotton towels are soft and comfortable, the practicality of microfiber makes them the better choice for backpacking.
Yes, microfiber towels are generally safe and gentle for the skin, even though they are derived from synthetic materials. They are designed to be soft and smooth, which can make them suitable for sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation or abrasion. However, it’s important to choose a high-quality microfiber towel to ensure comfort and safety. Some lower-quality microfiber towels might not be as gentle, so it's worth investing in a reputable brand. Also as a side tip, it's always a good idea to wash the towel before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
Of course, happy you found the content valuable :)
