Good point, Shellie. I’ve been testing mine out, and was trying to come up with a clever solution for this problem. For now, I’ve been looping the towel on the mouth of my reusable water bottle, but I was going to email the owner of the company to ask for other suggestions. After all, the Japanese have been using personal hand towels for years and years now — what do they do with the damp towels?

Dry my hands… And then what???? Stick the wet towel in my purse? Does not sound so nice to me. Great marketing, but it is a wash cloth that has a design on it for $7.

Very cool! But do the “These Come From Trees” stickers come from trees?

On the topic of paper towels in public restrooms, these stickers are on the paper towel dispensers in most of the bathrooms I use on the UC Davis campus. I still usually dry my hands with a towel, but it makes me think twice about taking a second if my hands are still wet.
