ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Towel tablet

A towel tablet is like a magic trick that turns a small flat thing into a big soft towel. It's like putting a small cracker in water and then it turns into a big yummy cookie!

When you get a towel tablet, it looks like a small flat circle or square that can fit in your hand. But when you put it in water, it starts to grow and grow! It gets bigger and bigger until it becomes a big fluffy towel that you can use to dry yourself after a bath or swim.

The reason this happens is because the towel tablet is made of special materials that absorb water really well. So when you put it in water, it starts to soak up all the water like a sponge, and then it expands into a big soft towel.

Once you're done using the towel, you can wash it like a regular towel and it will shrink back down to its original size. Then you can use it again and again, just by adding water!
