Looking after it

Wash them like any other bathroom textile: a hot wash separate from your everyday laundry, and dry them fully before they go back in the bathroom. A damp cloth left folded is what smells, whatever it is made of.

The Missing StepWashing without drying is only half the job

About this product

What you dry with, after you have washed.

Five reusable towels, sized for the job. The step people forget when they fit a bidet.

If you have fitted a bidet, this is the part nobody tells you about: you still need to dry.

Most people use a few squares of paper, which works but rather undermines the point of stopping.

These are five small towels sized for that job, washed and reused like a flannel.

One each, or a rotation, depending on the household. Five is enough that some are always clean while others are in the wash.

The listing does not state what they are made from, so we have not printed a fibre. If that decides it for you, ask us.

Fitting a bidet solves the washing. It does not solve the drying, and that is the step that catches people out in the first week.

The usual solution is to keep using paper, just less of it. That works perfectly well, and if it suits you there is nothing wrong with it. But if the reason you fitted a bidet was to stop buying paper, then reaching for paper at the end is a slightly comic outcome.

These are the alternative: small towels, sized for the purpose, washed and reused in the same way a flannel is. Five in a pack because a rotation is what makes it practical. One or two in use, one or two in the wash, one spare.

How households organise them varies. Some assign one per person, some keep a basket and treat them as communal like hand towels, and some keep a small lidded bin next to the toilet for used ones and run them through with the towels once a week.

The care is ordinary and worth following anyway. Wash hot, wash them separately from everyday laundry, and dry them fully before they go back in the bathroom. A damp folded cloth develops a smell regardless of what it is made from, and that is a laundry problem rather than a product problem.

One honest gap: the listing does not state a fibre. Bamboo, cotton and microfibre all get used for this, and they behave differently in the wash, so we would rather say we do not know than pick one that sounds right.

Still deciding?

Not sure yet? That is fine.

You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.

If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are bum towels for?

Drying after you have washed with a bidet. It is the step people forget about when they fit one.

How many are in a pack?

Five.

Why five?

So you can rotate. Some in use, some in the wash, one spare.

Are they reusable?

Yes. They are washed and used again, like a flannel.

What are they made of?

The listing does not state a fibre, so we have not printed one. Ask us if it matters to your decision.

How big are they?

The supplier does not publish dimensions. They are small towels sized for the purpose rather than hand towels.

How do I wash them?

Hot, separately from your everyday laundry, and dried fully before they go back in the bathroom.

Why wash them separately?

For the same reason you would wash any bathroom textile separately. It is ordinary laundry practice.

Will they smell?

Only if they are stored damp. A folded cloth that has not dried develops a smell whatever it is made of.

Do I need one per person?

Some households do that, others treat them as communal like hand towels. Both work.

Where do I put the used ones?

Most people keep a small lidded bin next to the toilet and run them through with the towels weekly.

Do they replace toilet paper completely?

They replace the paper you would use for drying. Whether that means no paper in the house at all is your call.

Are they antibacterial?

We make no antibacterial claim for them. They are towels, and they need washing like towels.

Can I tumble dry them?

Drying them fully is the important part. Follow any care label on the product itself.

Can I bleach them?

A hot wash is what we would rely on. Bleach shortens the life of most textiles.

Are they suitable for children?

Yes. Many households find them easier for children than managing paper.

Do I need a bidet to use them?

They are designed for use with one. Drying is only useful if you have washed first.

How long do they last?

Like any small towel, which depends on how hot and how often you wash them. The supplier gives no figure.

Are they absorbent?

They are towels and they are sold for drying, so yes. We cannot give an absorbency figure because none is published.

What colour are they?

No colour is stated on the listing.

Are they flushable?

No. They are reusable textiles and must never be flushed. They go in the wash.

Is this more hygienic than paper?

We are not going to claim that. A clean dry towel and clean dry paper both do the job; the difference is that one is washed and reused.

Are they better for the environment?

They are reusable rather than disposable, which is the argument. It comes with a laundry cost, so it is a trade rather than a free win.

Can I use them as face cloths?

Please do not mix the two. Keep them for one purpose.

Do they come folded or rolled?

Packaging is not specified by the supplier.

Can I buy more than five?

Order more than one pack. There is no larger pack size on this store.

Will they fit in a standard bathroom basket?

They are small towels, so yes for any normal basket or drawer.

Do they come with a guarantee?

No specific product guarantee is offered on this item. Your statutory rights under EU consumer law apply.

Can I return them if I change my mind?

Yes, the 14 day EU right applies. For hygiene reasons please return them unopened and unused.

Are they worth it if I already have flannels?

Honestly, flannels do the same job. These are sized for it and sold as a set, which is convenience rather than magic.

Buying Guide

6 min read Bidet Co Europe

Fitting a bidet solves the washing. It does not solve the drying, and that is the thing that catches people out in the first week.

The gap nobody mentions

You wash, and then you are wet.

Most people go on using paper, just much less of it, and that is a perfectly sensible answer. But if the reason you fitted a bidet in the first place was to stop buying toilet paper, then reaching for the roll at the end is a slightly comic result.

These are the alternative. Five small towels, sized for the job, washed and reused the way a flannel is.

Why five

Because a rotation is what makes it practical rather than a nuisance.

One or two in use, one or two in the wash, one spare. Households organise it differently: some assign one per person, some treat them communally like hand towels.

Most people end up with a small lidded bin beside the toilet and run them through with the towels once a week.

The laundry

Wash hot, separately from your everyday laundry, and dry them fully before they go back in the bathroom.

That last part is the only rule that really matters. A damp cloth left folded develops a smell, and that is true of every textile ever made. It is a drying problem, not a product problem.

What we do not know

The listing does not say what they are made from.

Bamboo, cotton and microfibre are all used for this kind of product and they behave differently in the wash, so printing a fibre we cannot stand behind would be worse than saying nothing. If it decides the purchase for you, ask us and we will find out from the supplier.

What we are not claiming

The live listing carried a hygiene claim about these towels that nothing supports, and that is a regulated kind of claim for a textile in the EU. It has not been carried across. The exact wording is recorded in our internal decision log rather than repeated here.

They are towels. They work because you wash them.
