Bathrobe is so comfortable and indispensable piece of home wardrobe that it is hidden in its very name. It is known that the word "robe" came to us from the Arabic language. In translation, it simply means "clothing." That is, one dressing gown in the East was enough to feel confident both at home and in public. It is no secret that Eastern men often still prefer to go in rich robes throughout the day.
Features of a negligent cut allow the skin to breathe, and the texture of the fabric easily copes with the task of removing excess moisture. The “visiting card” of the bathrobe is also pleasant for the wearer of the robe: the fact that it is not hot in hot weather, while on cold days, it retains body heat. These qualities have a waffle bathrobe.
What it is?
Often bathrobes made of silk or terry cloth are not the most optimal choice for a home. For example, immediately after a bath or a shower, not every person will want to dress in a robe made of these materials. It is not excluded that the terry model may seem too hot and dense, while the silk will adhere to the wet heated skin, which is also not too pleasant. An alternative to such things is a waffle robe.
This fabric got its name due to the resemblance to many favorite delicacy - interlacing of threads forms small square cells, which are a distinctive feature of this material.
Due to its special structure, lightweight waffle fabric absorbs moisture perfectly. In fact, this material can be considered an ideal version of the fabric, combining the advantages of both mahra and silk. From the first "wafer" took hygroscopicity, and from the second - weightless lightness. At the same time, the deep relief and volume of wafer fabric does not allow it to adhere to the body, which positively affects the sensations when wearing such a robe, this feature also allows things sewn from this material to dry faster.
Models
Waffle bathrobe is suitable for both women and men. It can become an indispensable attribute not only of home rest after taking a shower or bath, but also a faithful companion who will help out its owner in the spa, public baths or swimming pool if for some reason they do not have their own bathrobes. However, even in the most equipped establishments, many simply do not want to feel things on their bodies that are used as uniforms by several visitors during the day.
Therefore, a personal waffle robe brought with you is not a whim, but an understandable and reasonable decision of an adult who understands the importance of hygiene and personal space.
Waffle robes do not have any canonical style: now both long and short models are on the market, both with full sleeves and in 3/4 variation. Also, the choice of the future owner is left to decide whether the robe should be fitted with a hood or a comfortable collar will suffice. In case the item is selected to be worn after a bath, sauna, shower or bath, it would be logical to look after yourself with a hood with a hood, so that the wet hair is also warm, as is the whole body. In addition, being shrouded in a waffle fabric hood, hair will dry much faster.
The cut of the bathrobe may be different. Someone will like the stylization of neat and concise models of classic European costumes for the home. Others will appreciate the waffle robe made in the style of Japanese kimono. The choice of the color of the robe also depends solely on the subjective preferences of the person. It can be both modest monophonic models, and decorated with varying degrees of complexity with embroidery or bright prints. The main thing is that the coloring should not deprive the waffle fabric of all its competitive advantages, which were mentioned earlier.
Fabric structure
The main feature of the waffle fabric, which immediately catches the eye, is already revealed in its very name. This matter has received it due to the visual similarity with pastry waffles, since the entire canvas is dotted with a strict geometric pattern of square or rhombic cells. The size of these cells can vary from two millimeters to a centimeter.
The advantages of waffle fabric include the following features:
- this natural material does not pose a health hazard, does not provoke an allergic reaction and is not a source of toxic substances released into the atmosphere;
- the fabric is perfectly breathable, at the same time warming the skin and not preventing it from breathing;
- Like any other cotton material, waffle fabric is soft, elastic and light;
- The strong structure of this fabric allows it to carry out frequent washing without consequences, while the beautiful appearance of the product and the useful properties of the material are not lost.
The main raw material for this fabric is cotton yarn. Recently, the wafer fabric made of bamboo fiber is becoming more widespread. Bamboo, which is a woody straw, gives the fabric created on its basis, a kind of luster, easily visible to the eye, and delicate tenderness, felt to the touch. When sewing gowns from waffle fabric, either cotton components or bamboo fibers can be used. Sometimes models are made from combined raw materials.
Manufacturers
In the post-Soviet space, factories located in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are traditionally strong. Domestic manufacturers in large numbers are based in the "weaving capital" of the country - the city of Ivanovo. Among others, it is worth highlighting such Ivanovo brands as “Good Morning”, “Roshalat” and “Proffitex”. Among the many Ukrainian companies offering waffle bathrobes of their own production, we can mention “OKEU-DOM” from Kiev.
Dressing gowns from far abroad mainly consist of Turkish goods. Dozens of sewing factories from Turkey offer a variety of models of waffle coats for every taste.
Reviews
Men, women and children who “tasted” what is a waffle robe converge in one thing - it is more convenient than clothes to put on it after water procedures, it is difficult to think: it is soft, but does not stick to the skin, and warm, but not hot, allows you to breathe all over your body. In addition, waffle fabric dries very quickly.
Many owners of such dressing gowns share another interesting observation: they get a lot of pleasant sensations with a unique massage effect, which manifests itself when you iron wafer “cells”.

The laconic dressing gown in a large waffle cage, tailored in the style of traditional Japanese kimono, significantly benefits from the chosen color scheme. The rich blue gamma contrasts effectively with the skin, and comfortable “ears” for threading the belts in them save the wearer of such a kimono robe from having to look for this belt left somewhere when undressing.
A shorter, seductive model made from white waffle fabric favorably emphasizes the tan, and the hood, worn over the head, makes an elegant emphasis on gorgeous dark hair. Lace trim adds pastoral robe, once again focusing attention on the charge of natural sexuality.
A bath waffle robe for a teenage boy is distinguished by narrow horizontal and vertical inserts of white material, visually highlighting the child’s excellent posture. A rich dark brown color will also appeal to the carrier of the dressing gown, and his mother - a practical and non-marking model will serve until the son grows out of it.
