What is a Sand Free Beach Towel & Do They Actually Work?

Ever heard of a sand free beach towel and wondered a) what it was and b) how the heck it actually works? Is it even possible to make a beach towel that repels sand? Yep! It’s definitely possible. 

These seemingly magical towels keep the sand where it belongs – on the beach – and not in your bag, car and all through your laundry room. In this article, we’re gonna cover the science behind sand free beach towels, and why the Nakie beach towel is an essential for your beach bag. 

What’s So Good About Sand Free Beach Towels?

Why does everyone who owns a sand-free beach towel rave about them? Well, these innovative beach towels are designed to essentially repel sand when you shake off your towel (yes, even when it’s wet). 

Benefits of Beach Towels That Are Sand Free 

  • Sand repellent: No more sandy mess every time you move.

  • Quick drying: Made from materials that dry fast, so say goodbye to soggy towels.

  • Eco-friendly: Many are made from recycled materials (like Nakie’s sand free beach towels).

  • Practical: Sand-free beach towels are lightweight and easy to pack (they roll up super small), making them the perfect beach or camping towel. 

Do Sand Free Beach Towels Actually Work?

Sounds a bit too good to be true, eh? Look, sand is a pesky little thing that gets in all kinds of places (including places we won’t mention on this blog), but sand free beach towels do an excellent job of keeping off most of the sand. So how do they work? Here’s how Nakie’s sand free beach towels work:

  1. Our sand-free beach towels are made from 86% recycled plastic bottles. These bottles get cleaned, chopped up, melted, and turned into fine fibres. Not only does this process help reduce plastic waste, but it also creates a strong and light material for our towels.

  2. The other 14% is made from polyamide (AKA nylon). Adding a bit of polyamide makes the towel even tougher and stretchier. Nylon is known for being durable and soft, so it basically adds extra comfort and durability to the towel.

  3. Finally, we weave our sand free beach towels in a special pattern. The way the towel is woven is key. It’s made with a tight, smooth weave that stops sand from getting stuck. So, when you shake it, the sand just falls off instead of clinging to the fabric.

TLDR: Yep, sand free beach towels actually do work!
