Humorously Hygienic Cloths

The 'True Clean Towel' Lives Up to its Name

— April 14, 2012 — Pop Culture
If you're tired of trying to figure out which part of the towel you should be using for your face then the 'True Clean Towel' is for you. Of course, the product is tongue-in-cheek but this shouldn't detract from its obvious benefits.

In terms of hygiene, it is a clear winner. The cloth features a humanoid outline that lets its user distinguish between top and bottom -- a very important distinction. It is also durable. The human figure pattern is woven into the towel rather than printed, thereby preventing fading. Furthermore, is is actually useful as a towel. It is five feet tall and two and half feet wide, giving its user plenty of fabric to dry themselves with.

For people with few towels at their disposable, and who must be pithy with each inch of fabric, this cloth is for them.
