A hammam towel, also known as a peshtemal or fouta, is a traditional Turkish cloth that has been used in bathhouses (hamams) for centuries. This hammam towel is made of cotton / polyester. Its characteristic is that it dries quickly, so this hammam towel is suitable for use in the hammam and sauna. Men wrap the hammam towel around their waist and women around the upper body.

If the hammam towel is too large, fold it in half and then wrap it around the body.

This hammam towel has a number of characteristic properties and applications:
