Comment bien choisir sa fouta pour la plage ? - Label Naturel

You have discovered the benefit of using a fouta for the beach, but do you know how to choose the right one? Here are all the tips for Label Naturel, to select the ideal fouta for your vacation.

Choose a fouta for the beach... But not only

The advantage of the fouta compared to a classic beach towel lies in its great versatility.

It dries quickly, while being soft and very light to wear. Its qualities allow it to be used on and off the beach.

At the beach

When you use it as a beach towel, its softness allows you to lie on the sand and lounge comfortably. Our foutas have one side in cotton canvas and one side in terry cloth. This composition allows you dry quickly after your swim.

After your swim, you can take a short stroll along the beachside shops. Your fouta then transforms into a pareo, and allows you to fully enjoy your day, without being cluttered.

During your impromptu walks

Its great lightness and its finesse allow you to take it everywhere with you. She takes up little space in a bag, and its beautiful dimensions of 100x180cm make it practical and pleasant as a tablecloth for a picnic.

You can also use it as extra towel when you want to sit back and take the time to admire the scenery, while hiking in the mountains.

 

Tips for choosing the right fouta

1. Weaving the fouta

Our foutas are made in cotton canvas. This fabric is made from tightly woven cotton fibers. This weaving method has the advantage of offering a resistant and durable fabric. Thanks to this strength, your fouta retains its beautiful hold and all its advantages, even after numerous uses.

In addition, cotton canvas is light. It thus perfectly suits the very principle of the fouta which is intended to be easy to transport.

Finally, cotton is naturally soft and breathable, which makes the fouta very pleasant to use. Its absorption capacity is significant and improved thanks to the presence of a terry cloth face.

2. The size of the fouta

There are very large foutas, like the XXL models measuring 200x300cm. But we have chosen to offer you only foutas of 100x180cm.

In fact, a fouta is chosen for its versatility capabilities, lightness and softness.

A particularly large towel will naturally be heavier and less easy to carry. In addition, it will lose versatility. Creating a pretty sarong with a very large towel is much more complicated.

Our 100x180cm fouta is the ideal size. You can lie on it comfortably, dry yourself, carry it or even tie it around your waist easily.

 

3. The quality of the material

All our foutas are made in a Portuguese factory, recognized for its know-how. They are made with care, to offer you very good quality foutas.

In addition, the cotton we use is labeled Oeko-Tex® standard 100. This certification guarantees that the raw material used is free of substances harmful to you and the environment.

4. Design and colors

Red, blue, yellow, green or even pink: our beach foutas come in multiple colors. These happy and lively colors give a holiday feel to all your outings.

The little fringes finish these perfectly pretty foutas with traditional stripes.

With this timeless look, they will remain at the forefront of fashion from one year to the next. This way you can be sure you won’t get bored!

 

5. Easy maintenance

A easy maintenance is essential for your fouta to follow you everywhere. A simple machine wash at 30°C allows you to maintain a clean and healthy fouta.

Avoid adding fabric softener to your machine: this could damage the absorption qualities of your towel. You can then let it air dry. Quickly drying, it will retain its vibrant colors and all its softness.
