The beach towel is a must-have packing item for kids, and it's more than just something to stand between kids and the sand. Their beach towel is a momento of their beach vacation, it can double as a fun bath towel back home, and it often times serves as a play mat or even kids' social center at the beach.

So don't just pack that ratty old bath towel, or use whatever the hotel or beach rental has provided. Be prepared with one of these fun and cool beach towels for kids.

For this article I am going to refer you to

Beach towels

by Joshua Villeneuve on 2007-09-22

There is nothing like a beautiful day at the beach, the sand, surf and the rays of the sun beating down on your body. Beach visits have been popular with people of all ages, and are as much of a family activity as they are an individual excursion. No beach visit is complete without spending some timer relaxing on the beach with some suntan lotion on and getting that perfect tan.

Today, just as important as planning the visit to the beach is the beach supplies you carry with you, from beach towels, to elegant beach chairs and of course swim wear. Irrespective of your age, no visit to the beach can be truly enjoyed without having these basic accessories. With so many new advances in technology and manufacturing methods swim wear and beach towels are now available in a wide variety of designs and patterns. Depending on your taste and choice, there are a vast variety of beach towels and swim wear available today, and the number of manufacturers that are offering these products are simply mind boggling.

Choosing the right beach supplies for yourself can be quite a task if you have no idea where to being. The first thing that you need to get yourself apart from the suntan lotion is a beach towel. Today beach towels are no longer just another accessory to your beach supplies, beach towels are available in a wide variety of designs and also come in a wide variety of finishes. In fact a beach towel has become a way of expressing yourself, and your attitude. The next time you visit the beach look around and you will see everything from Velour finish beach towels to patriotic beach towels with the American flag imprinted on them.

If you are looking to buy a beach towel for regular use, then it is advisable to use a fibre reactive beach towel. Fibre reactive dyes are dyes used on cotton that have much better binding when compared to traditional dyes, so if you are looking to use your beach towel regularly then fibre reactive beach towels are the best option. However if you enjoy the fantastic texture that is offered by velour beach towels then go ahead and indulge yourself, in fact an increasingly large number of velour finish beach towels are now available in fibre reactive dyes too.

The only advice is that no synthetic or artificial material is as durable as cotton, unlike swim wear that is available in a large variety of materials; the best material for beach towels is 100% cotton. So the next time you want to buy a beach towel make sure that the beach towel is 100% cotton or a blend that has a large percentage of cotton. More so if the towel you are using is in velour; as velour usually has a certain amount of synthetic additives, however newer velour beach towels too are as good as 100% cotton, as they are designed to be durable and have a large quantity of cotton used during their manufacture.

Swim Wear

Swim wear is no longer restricted to just swim suits; designers all over the world have started designing swimsuit based club wear, essentially swimsuits and bikinis that you can wear to a club. Even before the advent of club wear based on swimsuits, women from all ages have been wearing swimsuit clothing to clubs, its only recently that fashion houses have started paying attention to the increasingly popular trend and have started offering club wear based on swimsuits and swim wear. The advantages of the club wear mentioned above over traditional swimsuits is that the club wear is made from material that “breathes” and is more suited for wearing to parties and clubs when compared to traditional swim wear. In fact the next time you are looking for something to wear to the club, keep in mind some of the new swimsuit based club wear that is available.

0. The selection of the humble beach towel should no longer be an afterthought. Beach towels have come a long way from simply being oversized pieces of terrycloth. Buying a beach towel that suits your particular needs and sense of style can be a worthwhile and fun activity.

   How to Select a Beach Towel
0. Step 1
0. Secure your comfort, especially after a long day of ocean swimming, by selecting wonderfully soft, 100-percent terrycloth towels or extra-plush velour versions.
0. Step 2

   Buy a towel with absorbency in mind. In general, the thicker the towel, the better drying ability it will possess. Remember to keep weight in mind, however, as you will be carrying it to and from the beach.

0. Step 3

   Select a durable towel that is made of top-quality materials, so it will last many summers and withstand countless washings. Egyptian cotton and cotton velour are heavy-duty materials that make for very plush towels.

0. Step 4

   Insist on buying a double-sided beach towel, as this will be of better quality and provide much more in the way of comfort and absorbency than the inexpensive, printed-on-one-side beach towel commonly found in many stores.

0. Step 5

   Select fiber-active beach towels that have super-bright colors and are fade resistant.

0. Step 6

   Enjoy a beach towel with pockets. Some towels, now have this feature, giving you a great place to stash sunscreen and a paperback .

0. Step 7

   Choose an oversized towel for use when lying on the beach. You will keep more sand off while enjoying the extra room.

0. Step 8

   Search for beach towels that make an impression and have special meaning to you. Select a towel on which your favorite sports team or musical group is embossed or one with a graphic of your favorite animal or flower.

0. Step 9

   Buy a game beach towel, such as "Twister" and "Tic-tac-toe." These are equipped with accessory bags containing the tools necessary to play.   Article written By eHow Contributing Writer
