These "compressed towel tablets" are about 2cm across in diameter, and not pill sized as this picture implies, and are closer to wet wipes than actual, fluffy towels.

Still useful cleaning at music festivals though.

2cm has to be too small. Surely they wouldn't be useful that way

I believe they're saying the pills are 2cm. It would be bigger once expanded

Ah, that went right over my head

Num10ck ,

if you have to put then in water to expand then what if you want a dry towel?

You've packed the wrong towel

Well if you're trying to dry off then you wouldn't put the towel in water first, you'd start drying off with the little tablet and by the end it'll be a full, wet towel.

I didn't think of that lol

That's cool

I mean you can wipe up a spill with a damp cloth, and it even works better than a dry cloth often

Disposable towels? Single use compressed Towels?

the endless focus on consumption with no reuse, the usage of resources?

It’s for hikers who need to be careful about how much weight they carry. They can also be used like wet wipes.

KISSmyOSFeddit ,

Needlessly using disposable stuff for hiking is like driving a coal-rolling Diesel truck into the mountains to enjoy the pristine nature.

Skill issue, tbh.. If you can't afford the extra grams for two small towels, then you need to get a little bit more stamina.

tyler ,

I used these things in my edc kit. It’s not about the weight, it’s about the space, and they’re really only ever used in emergencies. I wouldn’t say they’re a good product though.

Weight or volume? Technically a compressed object weighs the same as uncompressed, ex. a sheet of paper

Name one communist country that has towel pills.

They didn't understand, saw an inaccurate meme, and wanted to bitch over a use case they don't understand. I'm not sure what do complicated about the modern lemmy lurker.
