About these towels
Gyms are shared, sweaty spaces where bacteria spread easily. Doctor Towels gym towels use natural banana fibre with SkinShield™, our proprietary in-house antimicrobial blend, lab tested to reduce Staphylococcus aureus by 99.99% and faecal bacteria by 90%.
Light and quick-drying for your bag. Use a fresh towel each session. See the reports on our Research page.
What is SkinShield™ technology?
SkinShield™ is our proprietary in-house antimicrobial blend, built into the fibre during manufacturing rather than sprayed on the surface. In NABL-accredited lab testing (SITRA, AATCC 100 and ISO 13629-2, 24-hour contact), our fabric reduced Staphylococcus aureus by 99.99% and faecal bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis) by 90%, plus the fungi Aspergillus niger by 99.99% and Candida albicans by 90.32%. In a 14-day dermatologist-run clinical study, SkinShield™ fabric reduced acne by 21% with no irritation. Full details are on our Research page.
How do I choose a gym towel?
Pick one that is light, dries fast and resists bacteria, since sweat and shared equipment can lead to breakouts. Ours combine banana fibre with SkinShield™. In a 14-day dermatologist-run clinical study, SkinShield™ fabric reduced acne by 21% with no irritation.
How many times should I use a gym towel?
Once per wash. Use a fresh towel every session and wash it with a mild detergent.
What size is a gym towel?
Ours are about 75 x 50 cm. The Mini Banana Fitness Towels fold small enough for a pocket.
