How to prevent the bath towel edges from getting wet

No more wet towel corners! Thanks, Deb:

This hack will prevent your child's bath towel from getting wet before your little one gets out of the tub.

Every time I wash my son's hair, I towel dry it because who knows how long the little noodle will want to stay in the tub and it can get a little chilly in there with a wet head. Inevitably, while I dry, one or more corners of the towel get away from me and dangle down into the water. To prevent this, I now stuff one half of the towel down the front of my shirt at the neck. Now I can use both hands to towel dry without anything touching the water.

I've tried using hand towels instead of bath towels, but I find I actually have more control with a regular bath-size towel and my shirt method.

Genius! I love this... but where were you ten years ago when I could have used it! ;-)
Seriously, Deb, great hack, I'll pass it on to my list of parents with smaller kids. Thanks!!


I wrap mine up in a regular towel, and dry hair with a hand towel.
