THE GERM-FIGHTING GYM TOWEL

Even the cleanest gyms in town can be breeding grounds for germs and cooties. So how can you protect yourself from the microscopic critters working out with you in the weight room? Start by exposing a bit less flesh.

Don’t believe us? Well, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, barriers like clothing or towels between you and shared surfaces (like gym equipment) can help decrease the risk of getting a staph or MRSA infection.
That said, we’re thinking we’ll start wearing a long sleeve tee shirt and workout pants instead of shorts and a muscle tee.

Next, we’ll top it off with the Safe Side Towel – a special workout towel has "gym" printed on one side and "face" printed on the other so that you won’t wipe your face or body with the gym side. Pretty clever, eh? Made from bamboo blended with a little cotton, the Safe Side Towel is naturally antibacterial, antifungal, eco-friendly, soft and absorbent – so the question then becomes, how many would you like to order?
