Is 79 × 160 cm the towel I'm actually looking for?

There's one size, and it's full bath-sheet territory rather than a hand towel. Worth checking against your rail before you order, because that's the thing people get wrong.

This works if	What that means in your bathroom
You want a towel you can wrap in	At 160 cm long it goes round an adult and stays there, rather than being held shut with one hand all the way to the bedroom.
You have a standard rail or hook	Folded in half over a rail it hangs to roughly 79 cm — fine on most, but measure if your rail sits low over a radiator or a cistern.
You want the lotus print on show	This size gives the motif room to read as a design rather than a crowded band across a small towel.

If you're after something small for beside the basin, this is more towel than that job needs.

Why do cotton towels stop absorbing after a few months?

Fabric softener. Almost always fabric softener. It works by coating fibres in a waxy film, which is exactly the opposite of what you want a towel to do, and the effect builds up wash after wash until the towel pushes water around instead of taking it in.

Do this	Avoid this
Wash warm or cold with detergent only, and use less detergent than feels right	Fabric softener and dryer sheets, which coat cotton and kill absorbency
Shake it out hard before drying so the loops stand back up	Overloading the machine — a towel that can't move doesn't rinse, and trapped detergent stiffens it
Tumble low or line dry, then hang it spread out rather than bunched on a hook	Bleach and high heat, which take the lotus print down and make the cotton brittle

The step people skip: washing it before the first use. New cotton has finishing residue on it, and one wash is what turns a towel that skims water into a towel that drinks it.

The one thing in the bathroom you touch every single day, and it's usually an afterthought.

Bathrooms get renovated around towels. New tile, new tap, new mirror — and then the same three faded towels from a supermarket multipack, folded over the rail, dragging the whole room back down. It's an odd blind spot, because the towel is the only object in there you have prolonged physical contact with. This one is a full-size cotton bath towel with a lotus motif, and it's designed to be looked at on the rail as much as used off it.

Cotton is not a detail, it's the entire performance

A towel has one job and cotton is the reason it can do it. The fibre is hollow and hydrophilic — it pulls water in and holds it inside the structure rather than simply spreading it across the surface. Microfibre towels feel fast because they move water sideways quickly, but they leave your skin squeaky rather than dry, and they hold odour in a way cotton doesn't. Bamboo blends drape beautifully and take longer to dry out on the rail.

Cotton is the boring correct answer, and it gets better with age. The loops soften and open up over the first several washes, which is why a two-year-old cotton towel that's been washed properly outperforms the one you bought last week. There's no other household textile where use actively improves the product.

The lotus design

Lotus Charm motif — worked across the towel at a scale that survives folding. A lot of decorated towels put the pattern in a narrow band at one end, which vanishes the moment the towel goes over a rail. Here the design still reads when it's folded in half, which is how it spends most of its life.
79 × 160 cm — the single size. Long enough to wrap, wide enough to dry with, and proportioned so the lotus has space around it rather than being squeezed.
