The present invention relates to a shower towel into which a user inserts his or her hand to wash the face and to shower when washing or showering and which is dried while being mounted on a holder before and after use, and a holder thereof, and more particularly to a shower towel set equipped with a holder for sufficiently and rapidly removing dirt via a simple shower in order to protect the skin from being easily injured due to bath habits that strongly remove dirt on the skin and for maintaining a clean condition by drying the shower towel by drying the shower towel while being mounted on the holder before and after use.
In general, a so-called Italy towel is a bath product used to remove dirt attached to the body during bathing and is usually made of a rough cloth on both sides to remove dirt adhered to the stratum corneum of the skin through friction with the skin.
However, since the conventional scrubbing towel is made of a thin rough cloth on both sides, soap bubbles are not formed properly when soap is applied to the scrubbing towel, and thus consumption of soap increases and texture the scrubbing towel is not very suitable for soaping.
Although all of the conventional scrubbing towels are designed to be easily soaped, it is difficult to manufacture the towels due to the complicated structure thereof, which increases manufacturing costs.
In the conventional scrubbing towels, only a rough part of the cloth has a function of removing dirt from the skin, and in this regard, when children or women with weak skin try to remove dirt from the skin using these scrubbing towels, they experience pain in the skin or in severe cases, the stratum corneum of the skin peels off, causing scarring, and accordingly, there is a problem in avoiding use of the scrubbing towels.
That is, the conventionally manufactured scrubbing towel is a so-called “Italy towel”, and when a user tries to remove dirt, even the epidermal tissue of the skin is peeled off, thereby damaging the skin and accelerating aging of the skin. An improved towel is developed by weaving toweling paper by applying high twist of single yarn to yarns used for standing threads, pipe threads, and weft threads, but is only to the extent of extending a service life by increasing only the strength of the yarn.
As described above, in order to solve the problem of causing skin damage when a scrubbing towel is used excessively, there has been a need for a product that replaces the scrubbing towel.
Accordingly, a scrubbing towel, which is a flexible fabric material that replaces the so-called Italy towel, has a soft feel when in contact with the skin and facilitates generation of a lot of foam, but there is a problem that the scrubbing towel is used for only a simple shower as it is difficult to remove dirt accumulated on the skin.
In addition, in order to reduce skin damage, soft cotton yarn, silk yarn, filament rayon yarn, etc. are formed in a pile on a towel surface, but this may be used for simple washing or moisture removal, and a scrubbing effect is disadvantageously not achieved.
In addition, since the existing shower towel or scrubbing towel is maintained and stored in a bathroom in a state in which moisture does not evaporate, bacteria are easily propagated on the towel, and there is a boiling method in boiling water to prevent such bacterial infection. However, it is not easy to disinfect towels every time, and thus the towels are usually disinfected once every few days or are used without disinfection at all.
Therefore, the currently used shower towel is formed of a material on which bacterial growth is essentially difficult to prevent, and thus in order to overcome the problem, it is required to develop a product that is formed of a silicone material, does not primarily propagate bacteria, and is easy to sterilize and disinfect secondarily.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems as follows.
First, the present invention may include a separate space for temporarily storing soap or other shower detergents to continuously generate bubbles during showering.
Second, the present invention may improve the feel of grip of the shower towel to prevent the shower towel from being separated from the hand by separately positioning the user's fingers within the space.
Third, the shower towel may be easily dried before and after showering.
Fourth, the shower towel and the holder may be formed of a material prepared by mixing a silicone material and powders formed by pulverizing cockleshell, and thus antibacterial and sterilization effects may be achieved, thereby maintaining a clean condition at all times.
Fifth, compared with a conventional grid-pattern shower towel, anti-slip parts shaped like a fingerprint similar to that of the human body may be provided on an inner bottom of a lower pad of the shower towel, and ridges may be provided at a predetermined position corresponding to a recess of the palm and predetermined positions corresponding to second joints of the fingers, and accordingly, when the user uses the shower towel according to the present invention, the user's hand and the shower towel according to the present invention may be in close contact with each other and may not be separated by minimizing the conventional problem in terms of separation between the user's hand and the shower towel.
However, the objectives are exemplary, and do not limit the scope of the present invention.
In accordance with the present invention, the above and other objects can be accomplished by the provision of a shower towel set equipped with a holder, including a shower tower and a holder.
