Prospector Co. Compressed Towel Tablets

Space in luggage is sparse as it is, especially when you throw in bulky bath and beach towels. Although you may not be able to forgo your beach towels, Prospector Co., has released a convenient and hygiene-friendly hot hand towel for those long, dry-air flights.

Prospector Co.’s compressed towel tablets are just what they sound like: small white tablets that expand and soften when they come into contact with water. Six tablets come in a small glass jar that weighs only 2 ounces. Once the tablets touch water, they expand to the size of a dish towel.

Most international flights provide hot, moist towelettes at the beginning of a long journey. However, the end of a transcontinental flight can leave you feeling dry and anything but fresh. This tiny bottle of six tablets is easily packable and can provide instant refreshment after hours spent at 35,000 feet in the air.

If you rent out your house or apartment on home-sharing websites, these are also an ideal gift to leave for your guests so they can refresh themselves upon arriving to your abode.

Prospector Co. is located in Georgia, but the company can ship the compressed towel tablets anywhere in the world. A two-ounce jar containing six tablets costs $4.99 before shipping and handling fees. Learn more at prospecterco.com.
