00:00Okay, real talk.
00:02I've spent way too long stuffing damp towels into plastic bags at the bottom of a suitcase,
00:06and I finally got tired of it.
00:08So I went digging for compressed cotton towels that actually work for travel,
00:12and I found some seriously good deals.
00:15Here are the five every traveler needs.
00:18First one, and the one I grab most, is this 10 or 20 pack of disposable compressed towels.
00:24You drop one in water and it puffs up into a real washcloth,
00:27then it quick dries instead of sitting there getting gross.
00:30Great for wiping your face after a flight, cleaning up spills,
00:34or freshening up in an airport bathroom.
00:37It's $11.17, and with over 4,600 sold at a 4.5 rating, people clearly keep buying them again.
00:45If you want one pack that covers a whole trip, this is it.
00:49Next, this 14-piece box is the thick one, and honestly it feels more like a real face towel
00:54than a wipe.
00:55It's a compressed square, so it's tiny in your bag until you add water,
00:59and then it's sturdy enough to actually cleanse your face without falling apart.
01:04Perfect for a gym bag or a carry-on.
01:07It's only $6.20, has sold over 4,500 times, and sits at a 4.7 rating,
01:13which for the price is kind of ridiculous value.
01:16Now if you want the cheapest way in, this one comes individually packed,
01:20one towel per packet. That's the one I keep in my jacket pocket in my car,
01:25because it never dries out and it never leaks on anything else in your bag.
01:29It thickens up nicely once it's wet and it's gentle enough for your face.
01:34$5.11, over 4,400 sold, 4.7 rating.
01:40$5 to never be caught without a towel again is a pretty easy yes.
01:44This next one is a little different, and it's the upgrade pick.
01:48It's a real 100% black cotton bath towel, 70 by 140 cm, so it's a proper full-size towel,
01:55not a wipe.
01:57Super absorbent, soft, and the black hides everything,
02:00which is honestly why I love it for the beach and camping.
02:03It's $15.25, over 4,100 sold, and it has a perfect 5-star rating, which almost never happens.
02:12If you want one towel instead of a hundred, get this.
02:15And last, this is basically the same 14-piece thickened box as before,
02:20same idea, quick to hydrate, strong enough for face cleansing, easy to toss in a toiletry bag.
02:25It's $6.33 with over 4,000 sold and a 4.6 rating.
02:31If the other box happens to be out of stock or the price shifts, this one's the backup,
02:35so just grab whichever is cheaper that day.
02:38Either way you're getting a solid deal.
02:41Alright, that's the list.
