Cotton robes are soft and durable, offer excellent breathability and are highly absorbent. That is also why cotton is the material of choice for all sorts of apparel, especially the beloved cotton underwear. However, not all cotton is created equal.

One of the most popular cotton robes are those made from Turkish terry cloth. The soft, fluffy and absorbent loops make this material perfect for men's and women's cotton robes. The terry cloth is warm and soft while is wicks water from your body.
The down side to 100% cotton bath robes is that they will shrink if laundered in hot water and/or dried in a hot dryer. So, to avoid shrinkage, wash in cool or warm water and air dry.

In that case, buy your cotton robe a size larger to allow for shrinkage and go ahead and wash and dry as you wish.
