Are you uncomfortable using it repeatedly while it's still damp?

Our initial domestic crowdfunding project surpassed the target by 386%, receiving support from 189 people. Thank you to all our supporters! We aim to introduce a superior-grade hand towel, elevating it to an essential cooking utensil for more individuals! Excerpts from our supporters' comments:

"The kitchen towel I use gets damp quickly, often requiring two changes a day. We've been waiting for a towel like this. Thank you for creating such a great product. I eagerly await it."

"Ever since the onset of COVID-19, I've been using disposable paper towels for handwashing, but the recurring cost is high. I chose to back diatomaceous earth towels for their hygienic and cost-effective features."

"Post-COVID, I've been using three handkerchiefs a day. I hope to resolve this with diatomaceous earth hand towels."

"I perspire a lot, and this towel is incredibly useful for me. It'll be a game-changer for my sweaty self. I can't wait!"

"I'm anticipating its rapid-drying ability as a sweat towel for sports!"

Embracing the challenge of developing hand towels as cooking utensils.

Our first product, a diatomaceous earth handkerchief, was crafted for comfortable handwashing outdoors, with a focus on preventing new coronavirus infections. The project's success, supported by many, contributes significantly to enhancing post-handwashing comfort. [I love how quick it dries, eliminating discomfort during use.] Such positive feedback truly delights us.

However, there were comments regarding product size and durability issues.

Achieving enhanced capacity: Our conventional product, a single-cell bag made of non-woven fabric, was manually sealed with powder and heat-sealed. Yet, increasing capacity using this structure resulted in impractical usage due to powder bias within a larger bag. To resolve this, we adopted equipment producing 10 cm square cells continuously. Consequently, we achieved lengths more than five times that of a handkerchief, reaching about 80 cm in the largest LL size, equivalent to a face towel's length. Even vertically, the powder bias is minimal, around 1 cm thick.

Enhanced durability realization: The non-woven fabric's structure comprises three layers: SB layer (surface strength), microfiber layer (preventing powder leakage), and SB layer (surface strength + heat welding). While our conventional product had a 1.5:1:1.5 thickness ratio for each layer, with the microfiber layer being thicker, this product features a 2.5:1:2.5 ratio, enhancing durability. A thicker SB layer on the surface bolsters strength, increasing it by approximately 1.4 times. Though some supporters replaced only the inner lining with our previous product, they were satisfied. However, we've further improved it for prolonged comfort.

From the pocket-sized S, convenient for carrying, to the LL, capable of enduring frequent hand washings during cooking, these towels offer comfort in various situations like outdoor activities and emergencies where laundering isn't viable.

  1. [Quick-absorbing and quick-drying] Always dry in 3 minutes.

Every wipe feels like using it for the first time. The dual-layer construction of the cover and inner lining ensures dryness and comfort even in kitchens and washrooms, where frequent handwashing occurs. Bid farewell to the discomfort of using a damp towel or stowing it in your pocket or bag.

The cover comprises COOLMAX®️EcoMade Fabric, breathable and quick-drying.

COOLMAX®️EcoMade Fabric is an unconventional polyester fiber with four grooves per fiber. Compared to regular fibers, EcoMade Fabric boasts a larger surface area, allowing faster moisture evaporation and capillary action, expelling moisture and humidity swiftly from the inside.

The exterior of the inner layer is a permeable non-woven fabric devoid of water, efficiently channeling moisture to the inside layer. It absorbs moisture from handwashing within 10 seconds.

Inside, diatomaceous earth and silica gel absorb moisture, encapsulated in powder form, maximizing material surface area for exceptional water absorbency despite its thinness.

  1. [Deodorant] No lingering sweat odor.

Engage in sports worry-free from sweat odor. Recommended for those who sweat profusely while working outdoors. Ideal for the forthcoming sweaty season and for wiping children's sweat!

The alum present in the inner cloth effectively neutralizes and breaks down ammonia odor, the primary component of sweat odor. Post-wiping, there's no unpleasant residual odor. Its deodorizing power surpasses that of activated charcoal, rendering it almost odorless after 5 minutes.

It doubles as a dehumidifier and deodorizer, simply by placing it in your bag.

Deodorizing potency exceeding activated charcoal.

  1. [Antibacterial] Continual cleanliness assurance.

The inner layer blends antibacterial ingredients zinc oxide and alum. Zinc oxide, used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and alum, a food additive, maintain a consistently clean towel, minimizing bacterial transfer after use.

Easy to use! Insert the inner lining into the cover.

Post-use, remove the inner cover and wash only the cover with mild detergent. Machine wash is possible, yet handwashing is recommended. Do not use an iron. Air dry naturally.

Sizes M, L, and LL feature buttons on both sides. Secure these buttons to transform the towel into a ring, preventing slipping off towel racks.

The "Yawaraka Diatomaceous Earth Hand Towel" with its water-absorbing, quick-drying, deodorizing, and antibacterial properties requires only one towel a day.

No need for multiple towels or frequent changes, reducing the hassle of laundry. This hand towel is not just dependable for daily use but also essential in emergencies like water and power outages, and outdoor situations where laundry isn't feasible.

Always dry in 3 minutes, even during repetitive cooking hand washes. No frequent replacements, saving water and reducing laundry; the LL size, with its enhanced water absorption, is recommended.

Family-used toilet towels benefit from superior antibacterial and deodorizing prowess, ensuring peace of mind for the next user. Comfortably use larger sizes like L or LL.

Even if the cover can't be washed, its potent antibacterial feature maintains cleanliness. It minimizes luggage and proves highly beneficial at campsite cooking sites. Use L or LL sizes as companions for your outdoor life. *When the cover gets soiled from wiping dirty hands, please wash before use. The cover dries quickly.

Stronger deodorizing efficacy than activated charcoal, leaving no sweat odor behind! Welcome the sweaty season feeling refreshed! For sports enthusiasts or those prone to sweating outdoors, M or L sizes are recommended. They're perfect for wiping children's sweat.

Post-use, neither the hand towel nor your pocket will be damp. Size S can be folded in half and slipped into a pocket.

With alum's excellent antibacterial power, it stays clean even in family use. Safe for young children. The LL size is especially handy in busy morning washroom routines.

Even if stowed in your bag post-use, it won't get damp inside! Consider taking less bulky S or M sizes with you on outings.

This soft diatomaceous earth hand towel is a smart choice for unforeseen disasters.

Q: I'm concerned about the hardness and noise of the non-woven fabric during use. A: The non-woven fabric softens gradually with use, and the noise diminishes. Please continue using it as is.

Q: How often should I wash the cover? A: Daily washing is recommended. However, due to the inner lining's antibacterial effect, washing every few days is acceptable.

Q: Should I dry the inner lining in the sun? A: Simply place the innerwear in a well-ventilated area for drying. Sun drying isn't necessary.

Q: How long can the innerwear be used? A: Diatomaceous earth and silica gel inside the innerwear absorb and release moisture; the powder itself doesn't decrease. Alum decreases slightly due to a chemical reaction, but it's a minimal amount, usable for several years. Nonwoven fabrics last for 1 to 2 years (depending on usage environment). Over time, surface fibers may form, but if removed, the nonwoven fabric remains functional.

Q: What if the inner layer becomes stiff? A: It's likely the alum has solidified. Warm it up with a futon or hairdryer (above 60°C) to soften it.
