ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Towel

Okay kiddo, a towel is something we use to dry ourselves off after we take a bath or shower. It's made of a special kind of fabric that's very absorbent, which means it can soak up all the water on our skin.

When we're done washing ourselves, we take the towel and rub it all over our body to get rid of the water. We can also use a towel to dry our hair after we wash it.

Towels come in different colors and sizes. Some are big enough to wrap around ourselves like a blanket, while others are small and used to dry our hands or face. It's important to wash our towels often to make sure they stay clean and don't get smelly.
