The Compressed Beach Towel from Weston Nonwoven is a compact, water-activated towel made from viscose–polyester spunlace nonwoven fabric. The towel is compressed into a small, lightweight format and sealed in individual packaging for convenient storage and hygienic use.
When exposed to water, the compressed towel expands within about 3 seconds and quickly unfolds to its full size of 70 × 140 cm. Thanks to the spunlace fiber structure, the towel can absorb up to 6× its own weight in water, providing strong absorbency while remaining soft and comfortable on the skin.

How Compressed Towels Work
Compressed towels are produced using spunlace nonwoven technology, where viscose and polyester fibers are entangled by high-pressure water jets to create a strong yet soft fabric structure.
After the fabric is manufactured, it is mechanically compressed into a compact form and sealed in hygienic packaging.
When the compressed towel comes into contact with water:
- The fibers rapidly absorb moisture
- The compressed structure releases
- The towel expands back to its original size
This process allows the towel to expand within 3 seconds, quickly transforming from a small compressed unit into a full-size towel.
