How It Works

Visualization of how Airfold opens a towel up to vertical and horizontal air flow

Current hanging methods do not give your towel the best chance of drying. Double-folding a towel so that it can fit on your towel bar or using a hook means that a lot of moisture is trapped between overlapping folds. In fact, if you think about how surfaces overlap when you double-fold your towel, you will realize that 50% of your towel's surface area is closed to airflow and in contact with another wet layer.

These overlapping layers inhibit drying and allow odorous bacteria to breed and cling to the fibers of your towel. This is worsened when you cram multiple towels on the same bar both preventing adequate drying and spreading bacteria from one towel to another (typically from your dirtier hand towel or washcloth to your bath towel). Even heated towel bars can't help because the warm environment they create actually accelerates bacteria growth as your towel dries.

Driibar challenges the status quo of these traditional towel hanging methods by using a patented new innovative design to improve aeration and enable a cool drying effect that hinders bacteria growth without using any energy.

The elegant hooks on either end of the towel bar are what make Driibar special. By draping the ends of a towel over these hooks, your towel appears neatly folded but it is actually suspended without the towels surfaces resting on each other. Air now flows across over 98% of your towel's surfaces. It is this increased airflow that dries your towel so quickly, ensuring that you have a fresh, comfortable towel for your next shower.

This smart design also allows you to hang a washcloth or hand towel so that it maintains enough space with your bath towel so that they are both open to airflow. This separation is even more important when it comes to hanging towels from multiple people.

With this in mind Airfold was designed with a compact shape so that while you may have to share your bathroom, you won't have to share your towel rod or germs!

Now everyone who shares your bathroom can get their own Airfold towel bar, improving not only their own hygiene but yours too. After you sign up make sure to tell your bathroom buddies so that you can all get that fresh towel feeling that only Driibar can deliver!
