Have you ever stopped and wondered what those lines running across your bath towel mean? Recently, this question became quite popular online, sparking both jokes and serious answers as people wanted to know more.
While some thought the stripes might be for fun or to mark where your face or bottom should go, the real story is practical. These lines, called the dobby border, help make towels stronger and prevent them from falling apart after repeated use and washing.
This border also helps balance the towel’s thickness so it stays absorbent without being too bulky or heavy. Beyond durability, the dobby border gives towels a neat and finished look, making them more attractive.
Additionally, the lines help with folding and hanging towels correctly, so they maintain their shape and last longer.
Next time you see those lines on your towel, remember they’re more than decoration. They are smart details that keep your towel working well and looking good day after day.
