48 Bizzarre Towels

From Butt Face Towels to Savory Meat-Shaped Serviettes

— December 31, 2012 — Art & Design
These bizzarre towels will make you reexamine your everyday towel that you may not have previously given much consideration to before now. Towels are used after bathing or going to the beach, but they aren't considered that interesting as a general idea. These crafty designers have created towels that will leave you fascinated with towels like never before.

If you're in the market for an interesting beach towel or simply a great bathroom towel, these bizzarre towels definitely give you some strange and awesome options. The pixelated privates of a man, the inappropriately crude language and the ability to create a towel out of a one inch fabric cube using only water are only some of the towel options that are available to you.
