Fingertip Towels

Towels are an everyday necessity. We use towels after we do various activities at home or outdoors, like after taking a bath, after jogging to wipe off perspiration, after washing the dishes or our own hands, and many other things. Nowadays, using that big old towel to wipe any part of your body does not cut it anymore. There are different kinds of towels that target to wipe specific parts of our body. You use hand towels for your hands, and yes, there is even a towel specifically made for fingers.

Fingertip towels are relatively small. They are small in size compared to hand towels, but are much bigger than a regular washcloth. This type of towel, which is usually rectangular in size, can be hung individually on smaller racks or can be draped beside shower towels and hand towels. It is usually used in bathrooms to dry one’s hands. If you are the host and you do not want your guests to use shower towels in wiping their hands, you can provide a fingertip towel on the bathroom on top of the sink.

In the kitchen, fingertip towels are used as a generic utility towel. These towels differ with the regular towels in a way that they are made of thinner material, and are embroidered or decorated to be appealing to the eyes aside from being functional. A finger tip towel in the kitchen can have a loop so that it can be knotted on the door of the fridge or a kitchen rack.

Fingertip towels are always paired with finger bowls on formal dinner parties. You can offer your guests a fingertip towel to dry their fingers after dipping them in a finger bowl. The use of finger bowls in formal dinner parties may not be as popular as it was before but a revival of that practice is being seen today. To add elegance and niceties to your formal dinner party, you can include the use of finger bowls with a ready fingertip towel and offer them to your guests before they dine.

A fingertip towel purpose may be purely for aesthetics. Some homes put a specially-designed fingertip towel in their bathroom to be in synch with the theme of the current seasonal holiday. Guests can sometimes confuse these towels as something that can be used instead of being an ornamental display. For you not to make the mistake, the rule of thumb is if you see a fingertip towel in a host bathroom that is folded and placed over a hand towel that means that it is not meant to be used. Another sign that the fingertip towel is purely ornamental is when you see that they are sewn together or altered to a really small size.
